Just in case anybody hasn't realised, the images on the Terragen 2 site are completely CGI.

Pfft. Its not the destination thats important its the path you walk that is. Sure computers do nice shots. They have been for years. I remember using my Amiga to do "photorealistic" landscapes. Getting out there and taking pics will beat pushing buttons on a computer any day :D

[edit] Oh, by the way - the CGI section of his website; The images there look like they were done with either Bryce, or the first version of Terragen - all achievable with a couple of mouseclicks.

And what is wrong with film :suspect: ?

Apart from the costs, and the time delays, and the scanning hassle, and...

(there are two loaded film cameras within fifteen foot of me at the moment :lol: )

They still look CGI though. A bit tooooo clean and tidy to be real world.

If they were real there'd be some birds, or litter, or a couple of climbers wearing bright orange!


Nice, but I prefer the real(ish) world ;)
