Chipp, You've done a beautiful job replicating his image. I've brought up this subject before and was told by a few that Vue can create the same amount of detail as a Terragen Render, but I still hink the Terragen renders are more detailed. That said, I have only dabbled in Terragen, but with T2 to be relaeased on Dec. 15, I might give it another try, but I don't think it will ever be as fun to use as Vue. Do you think it's just in the textures or do the meshes have a higher polygon count too? Your image has a little fog or haze which pushes the distant hills further back, while the top one looks somewhat flatter without the fog. What if you turn the fog to "0" so the front terrains are more clear and add more haze to keep the distant land so it looks further back. Just a thought. Overall a Very Realistic image! :)
