Flirtations With Terragen
Terragen Classic is very old software. You can tell. But despite having more clunky menus than Windows 3.1 and a render preview so small you'll get permanent eye damage from the intense squinting required to make sense of it, it's still capable of producing striking environment renders to this day.
The four showcased here were the products of my first experiments with it. The first two were more freeform while the latter pair had a stronger sense of direction.
Four in one with some extra contrast and saturation via Photoshop.
The choice of using silhouette here was mainly a product of my initial reaction to the dated appearance of the terrain system.
I'm still not sure why the clouds turned out so pixelated.
The washed out aesthetic was intended to be a direct opposition to the brash sunset above.
An attempt to investigate whether Terragen could produce bleak environments just as naturally as it could beautiful ones.
