Welcome to my little corner of Renderosity. I am interested in many things besides art, for example, languages. I read 15 languages, and I have 140 languages on my web site. I don't really write other languages, though, so don't be surprised if I leave a broken comment for you. :) Please feel free to leave me a comment in another language, too.
Prints of my art can be purchased at deviantARTBIOThese days, my entire life is gathered around art in some form or another. I have a bachelor's degree in art, which I chose so I wouldn't have to sit in a classroom all day listening to people talk. :) I got very serious about art after the last of our seven children left home. Prior to that, I was busy homeschooling them. Besides visual arts, I love to make music. I play piano, organ, recorder (a wooden instrument somewhat like a flute), and classical guitar, and I sing. In the past, I have also played gamelan (a gamelan orchestra consists of sets of tuned metal gongs and bells with a couple of drums, and originated in Asia in places like Bali), I rehearsed for awhile with the local balalaika orchestra, playing autoharp, and I have studied with Xochimoki, a Latin American native musical group. In addition to music, I practice the martial art of taekwondo. I have a second degree black belt. Concrete art for me includes pottery (I sometimes design my own glazes, and I especially love raku), a little bit of sculpture, needlepoint (I use fancy yarns and stitches and sometimes invent my own), macrame, circular weaving, and I draw in color pencil. I also like to design artistic web sites. I have a passion for photography, and I am slowly working my way through scenic sites in Arizona and neighboring states. In digital art, I make art in Terragen, Bryce, Vue d'Esprit, Ultrafractal, Xenodream, and Apophysis. I am trying to learn Mojoworld. In addition to my sponsor site, you can see more of my art at my professional site: Extraplicity. Prints of many of my images are available at deviantART.
Spiritually, I am an heiress to the wonderful doctrinal legacy of Martin Luther, and a joint heiress with Christ. Soli Deo Gloria.

Terrain looks good, pretty realistic. But 144 hours for that?? You're better off in T9 man... You can still get realistic images as good as if not better than here without waiting eons. Just a suggestion.

Sorry; I almost missed this one. For your first TG2, you've done amazing work here Pat ...keep them coming. I don't understand why the render took so long. Maybe if you unchecked the GI and lowered some of the quality settings you could shorten the render time without sacrificing the image appearance.

Wonderful representation of the stark expanse of the upper peaks.

Great Image! I'd like to see you use the same terrain and setting in Terragen Classic!!!
Waswat

I did not realize until I just read it you are a language guy. Mine are FORTRAN, PASCAL/DELPHI, EDITOR/ASSEMBLY and BASIC with a minor in C++ Learning edition. In the real world I can read ABS bibles in alphabets up to 52 character sets Chinese is my failing, I see it as regional thousands. I have the Planetary Society VHS tape "Venus/Mars, the movie" which is what all this terragen stuff is based on as well as Google earth. While I am familiar with the USAF AudioVisual first CD-ROM "Aspen" I have never seen the original. ( I have visited Aspen as well as Silverton in the real world) 800x 533 and it took 144 hours? What was it doing? The picture is lovely. Better than Bryce, maybe better than Vue. Maybe what bothers folks about my renders and comments is there is no deception. Clearly you want this to look like a particular place and time on earth but to have a universal theme and that is the source of the long render time. An incredible search is over. Sit on your asses light up a camel this is the promissed land!!

My husband is like you. He can learn a new computer language in days. For me, too hard to even try. As for what the computer was doing, I assume it was counting to itself in binary. No camels allowed in my house, not even the camel's nose in the tent. Don't own an ass. No grass for it to feed on. :)

Terrific terrain!

Great scenery well rendered, I seem to overlook the capabilities of TG, well worth looking at again. Thx for the inspiration.
prutzworks
pretty nice TG2 render

Fantastic reault, both the landscape formation and cloud-scape are top shelf ! And I thought I had some long render times...LOL ! Very well done & ~Cheers~
