I've been making a few isosurface landscapes this week, so I thought I'd 
share the best ones.

My favourite one is the grassy cliffs, though I can't get the colours to 
look right, it looks too fake, so I hid the ugliness with fog and gloomy 
lighting.

Comments would be helpful, none of these images has had more than a few 
hours work so far and I'll probably develop one or two of them into serious 
pictures.

Next I'm gonna try something with trees and water...

Am I the only one who saw "landscapes", saw "tek", and thought "Great, 
another image I can't live up to"? :)

Anyway, I really like the second and third ones, they are stunning.  The 
second one could really use some flowing water running through the 
bottom of it, though.

The first one is nice, but you're right about the colors not looking right.

I really like number 2 and 3. The rockformations look very interesting and
well textured. If it doesn't make the scene too slow I would try to add a
small amount of granite pattern in no. 2 to make the rock look more
detailed in closeup. Just a sugestion though, they look great as they are.

Best regards, Christoph

The #1 makes me think of Roger Dean's drawings but #2 is my favourite

#2 is my favourite, even with some levitating gravel in the background :-)

#1 is strange but could well be used for a more surreal scene, Roger 
Dean-style, like Marc mentionned. So, although it is less perfect, it would 
be the first one I would try to use!

Great pictures, #2 looks 'finished' to me.  The way you're using snow in
the third image is very interesting ... would you care to show the source
for how it's done?

The colours of #2 are excellent, I think the snow needs some work in #3, not
the layout which looks good but it looks like you can see the polygons, also
the texture isn't quite right. I think if the snow can be improved #3 could
be my favourite..

no fair submitting photographs, Tek!

landscape1 looks a lot like the rocks of Death Valley, which truthfully
don't look like they belong on this planet either.

Actually those aren't polygons, the snow's an isosurface using the gradient 
of the rock isosurface underneath, but I calculate that gradient using just 
2 samples so you get a nasty artefact. I could probably fix it with a bit of 
work. Personally I think the composition in #3 is way too boring to bother 
developing further.
