Real or render?

I'd be really surprised if it's something made in SU...

[Gaieus]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's something made (or at least rendered) in Vue however. Remember that it's "first of all" a terrain/environment modeller renderer with a whole bunch of cool features like ecosystems and such.

Also, I might be totally mistaken.

Im going with render as well, as others have said the rock looks a bit weird.

Render, I'd say expert mastery of VUE 7 Infinite.

Bravo Solo.

[Daniel]

I'll say render, either Vue or Terragen

[Dantheman]

Render

[spence]

It's a render! I think the haziness in the background is not as real as it could be.

[ely862me]

I ve changed the background...I think now looks a bit more real

Terragen is really awesome!! Love those models
i wanna do that when i grow up

[solo]

Daniel and Silvershadow are correct, this is 100% render, no photoshop was envolved, no photo were used in the render, all generated terrains, shaders, etc.
Terragen 2. http://www.planetside.co.uk/

[Huggkruka]

Holy smokes. I was sure it was real.

Pete,

Other than the little I've seen on their website, I'm not too familiar with how Terragen works. Are you able to model accurate site models from a site plan with contours? Can a Terragen model be imported into Vue?

[solo]

Daniel, I do not have that software as such, I will try the demo version and see.
The one thing I do know is that it does work with Vue, you can import Terragen models into Vue and I believe vise-versa.

As far as accurate site modeling goes, I still say Vue is the best at that as you have so many ways of creating terrains from .dem files, satalite images, sculpting, etc and now there are terrain painting too.
