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.

The global effect is very interesting and different ... Thanks!

Beautiful! Corrie

Excellent and mysterious render. Love the looming cliffs in the background. Eagerly awaiting some boffin @ Planetside forum to resolve the shadows / glow problem. Apart from a second crop render round planet or maybe uncheck "Shadows off atmosphere" in the lighting params, I'm clueless.

peut-être un peu trop d'étoiles avec cette lune magnifique, mais ce décors est grandiose !!

Good that DandelO's background worked - I know you've been striving for the (closest to) perfect nighttime look. The BG cliff face is looming, ghostly, and almost ominous...
Fahrenheit451
Excellent Bob! Can't wait to see what else you might do with this scene! Can the new Terragen create realistic star fields as well?
