Description
Current work in progress. Terrain is river terrain (using Rivers plugin by James Bardeen) rendered as an isosurface, with added small-scale detail. I don't like the ridges in the terrain, so I am going to change to a different basis function for the rivers generation, which will unfortunately destroy this nice POV!

It has a Terragen look ! Really natural and sharp render.

Great view indeed. The sunray coming from the sharp angle really add to it.

never would have thought about going this route !!! Brilliant !! I tend to agree with you about the ridges..My biggest question is with the water..My guess is that it is traditional MJW water, judging by it's displaced look..I've yet to achieve that with Volumetrics as water..The surface details are excellent..now ya just need some clouds!!

Actually, the water is part of the same isosurface that defines the rest of the terrain. I use the "River Depth" node to control blending between river/non-river reflections, colouring, detailing, etc.
