Description

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
