I really like where this is headed, Thomas, really nice mountains. And I love
the ultrawide format, very epic in scale!
Cheers,

Thank you indeed, Robert. For the mountains I had a little help from one
of the projects included with GeoControl, and of course the excellent
texture macro of Jaime.
I too like the format. It is the ratio which is doing all the work. The
camera angle is just a plain 50 ;-)

Showing some progress: trees in the background; a first construction
phase of the village.

It looks a peaceful place, you may also add a trail to the canoe.
Is curious, but just yesterday I accidentally found this picture with a
little more rudimentary canoe:

A trail is on the todo list indeed.
I am not sure where I saw my canoe. I think it was in Niger. Your
example is a very primitive dugout canoe and would be interesting to
model. I shall keep that in mind.

A few modifications: tree textures, and canoe wake.

very nice! The foreground "islands" probably need a bit more
resolution than the main height_field can provide, though.

Yes indeed. It makes little sense to increase the resolution more.
However, the little islands will be dealt with separately in the future.
Probably with some vegetation or other (basking crocodiles for example) ;-)

Which can also be improved by extending the shallows :-)
