Description

When I first started with Terragen here at Renderosity, the images that inspired me the most were from hillrunner - and and they still do. Those sweeping, almost panoramic vistas of impossible landscapes with alien atmospheres always do it for me. This, then could be a tribute to Olivier, except for one minor detail I added that you won't see in his images. Can you guess what it is? Hint: it's not the moon. Thanks for looking in!

This is really how I like my rich2's: wide vistas, alien landscapes and suggestive coloration. Absolutely splendid!

Hahaha beautiful tribute to one of my favorites artists :) I believe that I forgot how to make images like this one... very beautiful lighting and surface mapping on this strange terrain...

It must be the water, although I think there were 2 of Hill's earlier works with water. . .or was it 1. Either way, beautiful render, and lovely tribute. I think Olivier really deserves many more of these tributes, as I think he's inspired every last one of us in some form

Wonderful view... and a nice tribute to hillrunner. Of course, the 'detail' was the water. Olivier doesn't know what it is :o)))

I know it's the water, I don't recall seeing any of his with it. And this is gorgeous Rich, most especially the sky... that atmosphere is a keeper...

Terrific tribute - I agree we all owe Olivier much for his inspiration. You, too, Rich! And this is a gem in all aspects. So mysterious and finely done.

A very beautiful view with this low lighting and atmosphere - my favorite kind! Your terrain, surfaces and water work combine for natural and realistic picture.
