A tryst with Terragen...

Couldn't resist trying terragen, finally. After watching all those nice stuffs our dear pal Swaroop did, and a brief session of experimenting at ~ Avinash's place, I decided to try out terragen on my PC. This image is one of those that I created just to see how the software functions. The Software is more than what you can ask for :) It has great number of features, and is free for personal use at this point of time. You can create all sorts of terrains within just few clicks. The most commendable thing in the software is how water is rendered. The applications is light weighted on both hard disk and RAM usage. It rendered 1024X768 image in just few minutes meanwhile none other applications that were open coughed... :) The application is smooth, has a thumbnail rendering preview before you can actually go for the large image. Looks like they are heading towards a real nice software that can go to lots of places in terms of usage! There are also options for saving your generated terrain, and also the work (each render is called a world ;) ), adding child surfaces (terrains) and lot more. All in all, a nice piece of software!
