While working on another - rather conventional - image for the TC-RTC
Challenge, I am exploring blindly different scenes, using GeoControl for
generating height_fields and then finding an interesting point of view.
I came, quite by chance, upon this scene. The rock texture is - slightly
adapted - the one by Sean Day.
Only the eagle is disturbing as there is a problem of scale
superposition involved.
Still, I thought I would share with you.

I am glad that you did it is impressive.
As for scale I don't think that is a problem. Geology is fractal and the
way that the scale of the image changes, as you focus on the eagle, is
as real as looking at some photographs in National Geographic.

The eagle gives a sence of scale, BIG! Realy big terrain.

Nice scene, Thomas; it shows promise. The cracked appearance of the landscape is
neat. Combined with the gas cloud, one gets the impression that this terrain is
relatively new.

Hi Thomas,
This is a great image, I like the eagle and think it definitely adds to the
image. Good use of a bit of media as well. Well worth entering it into the
competition.
I had not heard of geocontrol before, it looks pretty good, most of the images
in the gallery would make good entries to the elements of geology round.

Thanks Sean. I think I shall tweak a couple of little things before
rendering a bigger image for the Challenge.

It is an excellent program. I do not own the latest version which is
still better, but it makes for very realistic landscapes. It also is
relatively cheap.

Thanks Sam. I also liked the cracked erosional features. I am still not
sure about the /type/ of landscape represented. As you say, it could be
young and volcanic or, as I first thought, a kind of erosional sink
hole. In both cases, I might need to change the texture ;-)

Ah! Thanks Alain. That was the intention but I feel as if the relative
sizes are in conflict. Maybe I need a little feature on the terrain to
emphasize the contrast and/or a bit of atmospheric media. I shall try
one or another.

Thanks Stephen. It hit me immediately while fussing around with the
camera position.

Yes, I thought so too and NG came to my mind ;-) I probably need to work
a bit more on the issue though...

It is a splendid image, and for the eagle... could be Gwaihir returning
home after rescuing Gandalf :-P?
GeoControl seems interesting. It's simpler to use respect to Terragen?
