Sac, CA Special Visual Effects Shop

Okay, I thought I would post this topic for all those who like visual effects and would like to share some of their work or someone elses work that they appreciate.

Here is something mind blowing. This is work done by Luc Bianco. He has mastered the free online terrain effects software - Terragen. I have created several terrain images that look real, but nothing like Luc's work. Here is a sample of what he has created. (remember, none of these pictures of locations/terrains are real)

Amazing work, yeah? Like I said, they are not real. These are virtual worlds. If you want to see more of his work, here is his web site with many more beautiful pics - Luc Bianco's Galleries


And here are a few of my creations using the Terragen software (again, click the pics for bigger images) -

nice start there McGyver. Now you just need to add a couple of layers and different elevations. Like some green and some snow, or gold speckled for the flowers effect
