I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

Great clouds!! Looks like a photo.

Your getting it together real fast, Bob! Great depth and wonderful sky, all recognizably yours!

Very nice sky, Bob. I am at once stuck by your (and everyone else's) perseverance with this new TG version. As I'm still waiting for my PC to be repaired so that I might also join in the fun, this period gives me time to observe how the skill level of everyone who is using TG2 are improving day on day. However, having read all the points in the Forum, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that this programme version has about the same steep learning curve as the now venerable Mojoworld. It may be that I won't bother switching to this new version as I can produce the same fine detail with Mojo... but then again...

Beautiful, realistic landscape with wonderful atmo!!! Great work!!!
criss

Valerie-Ducom

super POV and image!
RealUser
very believable atmo and glow, surfaces are nice too. i am keen to see the highres version.

Lighting is fantastic! Agree with setting the camera; Making close up it's quite impossible if you plan to follow the old Terragen 0.x way. Tgd Requires a new way to work IMHO, but this could be also an advantage.
hillrunner
Much better than the first... you learn FAST ! Very beautiful depth, atmo, terrain, etc...
Phylloxera
Agree with Hillrunner !!

Excellent clouds Bob. Good depth...

This is very beautiful, especially the sky. I agree with the camera problem. I just don't have the patience for Terragen. 2. Excellent render and great improvement skills, Bob !!!!
lucbianco

For a 2nd render, it's really impressive ! A very good work. I wait for the 3rd... :o)

Try Mojo Bob, I think you'll like it. This looks good, but a far cry from your TG1 work!
meatpuppet76
nice atmo and clouds,5/5 agree about the camera in tg2
Fahrenheit451
Sounds very challenging Bob! Keep plugging away!
mad-mick
Yet another great image Bob
ppetersen
I love that sky Bob, beautiful softness to it. The distant terrain is shown perfectly in this render. The close terrain one can see some subtle details. Beautiful surfacing (something I've had a big problem with so far) but we will all learn together :)
fairy-storm
Beautiful, i love all your terragen-pictures! Stunning again1
Thelby
Very Depth in this Bob. TG2 is not a user friendly proggie, but you seem to making excellent headway in it!!!!
Darthmagus
Superb clouds and lighting!
shantay

The final result sure is nice, sorry the controls were tuff to work, but so glad you stuck to it and created this quality ladscape artwork!
