    yes good!
    I think the sky is too digital (too perfect) add some clouds and perhaps some animated birds or creatures far away in the sky.
    little more work on rock's texture and it'll be great
    but good job!! :D

    Terragen is far superior to Bryce or anything else for landscapes, and those are nice scapes but from using the program i can tell that they were most likely whipped up in about 20 minutes or so.

    Is the landscape created right there with the progrm or do you have to download the models?

    can you animate too? Export Targa Seq files?

    Terragen outputs to sequences of bitmaps and such, I'm not sure about targa files but it only does sequences. It creates the models itself and there are ways to export them for animation although the exported model won't be textured. But to animate it you have to get all these plugins for Max, and then it is still hard to animate because you don't know where anything is. But it does render very fast and it creates some pretty nice images.

    About animation:

    Terragen has some good puglins for animating. My personal favorite is campath which allows you to created terragen script files through a graphical interface. You can preview these animations as well. Also, for vehicle animations campath has a vehicle setting which sets the camera slightly above the terrain. The only problem is rendering in Terragen takes forever.
