Remember watching Avatar and the pants-shittingly awesome world that was created? What about Tron, or TerraNova? It was created with Terragen software, which is totally free for download With just a bit of time and patience, you can also create some amazing scenery with just a few clicks and mess-ups of your own. (I accidentally made a lime-green landscape by having my sun too bright. OOPS.)
I've started some deeper world development on The Dream World, and you can see my efforts here 8DD
Download Terragen Here:
www.planetside.co.uk
(You can take your BMP files created by Terragen and run them through Photoshop to add trees/size- I have Terragen Classic because I don't have WiFi yet and therefore no fast internet- but Terragen 2 (is also free) and you can download some XFrog packs to get vegetation! Also, Terragen Classic and Terragen 2 only let you save in BMP files, so you should take it through another program and change the file type anyhow. Because Tinypic freaks the hell out with 900kb files.)

This is my desktop background right now XDD It's a big file that stretches the board, so you can just click on the link to view it
Random field/mountains:
This was my first landscape render- I didn't know that you could CHANGE THE COLOUR OF THE GROUND- so just the grass was changed here. XD I may end up using this as a plot device just because it looks so desolate o.o
Hushabye Mountain Foothills/Shore:
I learned how to make fog with this one (turn the half-height WAY UP, along with the density!) I'm really happy with how this one turned out- it's gorgeous
Freet Isle Shore:
Being that this is the sole magical place in TDW, I decided to download the SOPack, which enables you to do more with your water, camera and landscape- the water is clearer by the shore of Freet Isle, the skies have clearer visibility. I still wouldn't recommend swimming in those waters, but at least here you can see what's going to eat the shit out of you. xD.
That's all I've got for now- oh, wait. Just so you can see what else it can do...
That's right. I Z-Virused that right up. I'm in love with this program- Bree even rendered her own Zombie-apocalypse type thing and made it into the background of her phone. XD This one, however, was made by me- the shadowy-thing? The shadow of the mountain the camera was set on top of.
If you girls download Terragen I want to see what you've done with your worlds. Please. XD.
