Well folks, I got my hands on Terragen. And it's a really nifty program. I've started making pretty cool scenes in this. Here are my first tries, when I barely understood how to use the program:
Regrettably, I managed to create two scenes that, when I went to render them, the program froze (this is understandable, considering it hasn't been released as of yet) However, once I figured out how to use everything, I created a world that should prove very useful for creating many scenes. Here's the first scene:

Hmm.. that 3D landscape program appears to do the exact same stuff as Bryce 3D, except a little more realistic textures.
What else can it do? With Bryce you can make 3D animations, nature and city landscapes and...well really that's mostly about it. I have it on my comp and never use it, I really out to get back into it.

Well, Terragen is only in the deveolpment stages. The version I have is 0.8. It can only make land, sky, and water so far. I hear they're going to be putting trees in it or something. I don't know aobut cityscapes though.

Very cool. I can't wait till they give the software the ability to plant trees, shrubs, and, dare we hope, buildings. It would be really cool to use Terragen to make a pretty little value, import some BattleTech Mechs or Starfleet structures!
Good work Chris. -Lance
