Terragen landscapes

Year: 2006 - Present

Terragen is a piece of rendering software specialized for landscapes. I am very impressed with the level of realism that it achieves and I have found it useful for creating that ideal scene without having to go out on location.

I have used Terragen for creating still images, animations, and cubic Virtual Reality image environments that allows views in all directions. I enjoy spending spare time creating a new image or scene, controlling terrain and weather effects to create the desired effect.

I have also used Terragen for generating realistic 3D landscape models to use in 3D environments. By exporting the landscape to a 3d modeling program, I have been able to successfully bring Terragen terrains into VRML and X3D worlds. Combined with a skybox also created in Terragen and a texture for the landscape, I have been able to produce highly realistic 3D environments.
