I can't remember if I've already mentioned this here, but for those of you interested in rendering real landscapes, dem terrains and so on, I've put up a few pages describing my technique.

Bloodsong - I showed a bit of this on the forum some weeks ago, so its probably me you're thinking of.

heyas; yep, i remember that. it came out so cool! :) but how do you 'find' aerial photos that match dem files? or did you have yours made?

Lots of aerial photos are available commercially, or for free download. I have aerials of the local area dating from 1921 onwards. The picture at the top of this thread contains about sixty separate images stitched together in Corel Draw. In the uk local councils usually have high res surveys from several periods, and there are firms such a aerofilms who have huge collections. I don't use dems as they aren't available for my area, and anyway, they are very low resolution compared to the models I use. I generate my terrains from local contour maps - see the section on making the images on my page. Its simply a question of getting a section of map which matches the area of the photograph.
