Theres a pretty niffty program available for download on the internet called Terragen. This program allows you to create incredible life like images of terrain including mountains, rivers, lakes, skys, sunsets, whatever.....

This program is currently FREEWARE and weighs in at a little over 2 meg in size to download. But the time spent for the download is well worth it.

I decided to post some of the images I created using this program for your enjoyment. There is an excellent tutorial written by Carol Brooksbank, that gives you the basics to get started as well as a few advanced techniques. I was able to create these images just shortly after reviewing this tutorial and following along with the steps.

If you'd like to see the full size version of these images, (each one is 640X480) then click on the thumbnail version. I'll also include a little commentary on some of these images.... Please be sure to stop back occasionally, as I'll post new ones as I create them.

These are pretty basic images, I did'nt really get into any of the fancy settings, with the exception of the night scenes. I should warn you. This program does not come with a Help file, so it is going to be essential that you visit the above tutorial site to get a handle on this puppy.

While these may look like actual photographs, they are actually computer generated graphics that I created myself.

I call this image RiverView. I added a little snow to the mountains to give them a little extra enhancement.

This is the same image, only this time I converted it to a night time view.

This image is the same as the one above, except in this case, I did not create a sea level, so the area that is rendered as a river remains as more land mass.

Finally, I call this Mountain Lake. This is the first rendering of this image, so it is also pretty basic. I have not gotten around to doing any major enhancements on it.
