Artist's Comments

Phew - Finally this is finished.. Kind of anyway.

I've been doing this on and off for the last few months. I remember showing ~ psamtik a snow version of this that I was supposed to expand, but I got distracted and slowly worked on the textures that were in my original Arizona River. Shocking stuff... Anyway, I'm not too keen on the sky, but it shows off the textures better than any other atmosphere did - You might get to see a "blue hazed" version of this in my scraps so keep an eye out if you wish :p

The terrain is a 4097x4097 DEM of the Grand Canyon - Forgive the roughness of the dirty texture on the right too. I think it's something to do with the DEM and not the actual textures. 3 frames originally rendered at 2000x2000, stitched together in Photoshop.

This is my first "finished" panoramic render, so any comments or critique on any aspect of the render would be appreciated! :D

A print will be made of this soon too.. Depending on a few things anyway :D

Grand Canyon Panorama by =johnwarren is one of the most impressive wonders on this planet. Digitally recreated, with all the great, eyecatching things that make the grand canyon what it is... this piece of art truly shows the strength of terragen and its possibilities.

holy smokes this is rockin! the textures are really nice! top job on them! the only crit i can think of is the clouds, they just kinda seem out of place, the rest of the picture seems so realistic, but the clouds look more like a painting. guess theres not a whole to do about that untill the new Terragen comes out i guess. overall, awsome job!

You can dowload DEM's up to 100MB large from the USGS website. [link] Very nice render :).

A little more constraints on the the elevation distribution will produce a more life-like image. One of the beautiful things at the Grand Canyon is it's multitude of different strata. This would be quite a challenge to try and capture, but well worth it I think. Nice piece of TG :).
