My real name is Jeff Scott, and I live in a small suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I work with and around computers for a living, and it continues to amaze people that I can work on a computer for 9 or 10 hours a day, and come home and stay glued to one for several hours at night.
BIO
I got involved with 3d graphics waaaay back in 1990 with 3dStudio. Despite a change in career paths that took me out of the computer vendor realm, I persisted and found ways to make my love for 3d graphics and architecture mesh in with my current job.
One quirky thing I did was took the office floor plans for a 20 story building, and built a Quake deathmatch arena, which several of us would play over the network. Nothing like fraggin' somebody when they're coming out of the coffee area!
Several years later, I discovered Bryce, and, well.... things haven't been the same since. I've been using Bryce for a little over 3 years now, and have moved on to Poser, Rhino, Cararra, ZBrush and several other apps as well.
I have a very one-sided brain, so I couldn't do an abstract if you put a gun to my head. Hence my addiction to landscapes.
I like to help folks out when I can, and stir the fires now and then too. I joined Renderosity a couple of years ago, and have been here since... hopefully for a long time to come.

God work with terrain! How can You apply noise in certain regions?

Armands, no noise, but I did spike the terrain several times. Here's more information: Image stats are: file: 69.9Mb, polygons:27,741,400, render time: an astonishing 8m:48s. THe image was basically created with 3 tiled terrains. I then duplicated each terrain, changed the mesh to 1024, spiked it once or twice. Then I rubbed out the unwanted trees and moved the tree'terrain' down a smidge. Lastly, added a tree-ish texture. Did this for each terrain and then grouped them. Copied the group for a more expansive look. Applied same technique to mountains and background valley. Mountains are actually one terrain rotated a variety of times. Tree from 3dcafe, plants are mine, and standard Bryce fog. I think the sky was from FastTraxx. 'nuff said.
