Looks nice to me.

Seriously? That's like 3 minutes in terragen. Bah.

 

 

 

 

 

Pat you need to work on your surface maps, atmosphere well... everything. When I used terragen I used World Machine to make the procedural terrains. As far as surface maps go remember the parrent > Child relationships.

 

 

 

Parent > Child Relationships:

 

 

 

Parent layers are the "base" layers you can create. Think of it like a base patch of dirt, for example. The Child layers, then, are sub-directories of the parent texture. So for example you could have a Grass child layer. The grass would only show up where the dirt showed up and no where else.

 

 

 

The reason this is so important is that eventually you will do something like this:

 

 

 

BASE (usually rock)

 

>PARENT #1 (Dirt, for example)

 

__> CHILD#1 of PARENT #1 (Dirt, another slightly lighter/darker color)

 

__> CHILD#2 of PARENT #2 (Another dirt layer, different color)

 

>PARENT #2 (grass, for example. You want to control this so it doesn't show on a certain slope)

 

__>CHILD#1 of PARENT #2 (Another shade of grass, maybe a light green.)

 

__>CHILD#2 of PARENT #2 (Perhaps a darker shade of grass)

 

>PARENT #3 (Rock texture for the side of mountains. You can control this so it shows everywhere, or perhaps just on a certain slope)

 

__> CHILD#1 of PARENT #3 (continuation of the rock on the side of the mountains. Perhaps a nice "Strata" [look it up])

 

 

 

 

 

That would be an example of a very, very basic surface map. I find that using stock photos of textures such as grass, dirt, ect. is very useful to maintain realism.

 

 

 

 

 

Atmospheres I don't have enough time to go on, but there are tons of great tutorials out there.

 

 

 

Finally, some examples of landscapes that are possible through terragen (My landscapes)

All examples with minimal post processing through photoshop (mostly a sharpen filter, curves, ect.)

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry I can't explain everything. I haven't used terragen in years regularly but I don't think anything has changed since then. Feel free to ask me any questions.
