====== A call to Terragen artists ======
I was wondering if anyone skilled in the art of [[http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/|Terragen]] was willing to take a crack at rendering roughly the same spot as in [[l3dt:2006:may:26|these images from L3DTVi2]]? I'd like to see how L3DT's dodgy tricks stack up against a proper ray-tracing photorealistic renderer, but alas the mysteries of surface maps are somewhat beyond me. Using the default 'desert and grass' I came up with these:
| {{:l3dt:2006:may:temp8_tgen2.jpg?350}} | {{:l3dt:2006:may:temp8_tgen3.jpg?350}} |
^ Sun at glancing angle ^ Sun at high-noon ^
If you want to try your hand, the heightfield is here:

The water-level is 82.5m, and the camera conditions are approximately:
| ^ X ^ Y ^ Z ^
| Camera | 1880 | 550 | 200 |
| Target | 980 | 900 | 0 |
| Zoom | 1 |||
If you come up with anything nice, please [[mailto:aaron@bundysoft.com|e-mail me]]
a JPEG or upload it to the [[http://www.bundysoft.com/coppermine/|users' gallery]].
Best of luck,
Aaron.
