The first one I did had a flat enough for a ship to land but still natural. The second was intentionally flattened (since apparently robots live on lava planets ) BTW I used MSPaint to create the flat surface . My computer at work does not have enough power to run Blender or Wings, and my machine at home does not have internet access . I did change the sky though. It has a purplish hue to it but is mostly red. Unfortunately, Terragen doesn't do volcanoes . But yes, it certainly does.Halleck wrote:The rock in the center is nearly a perfect rectangle! If you intended for it to have a "carved out of a rock" look, add more rough stuff... maybe replace it with a large, irregular protrusion and hew a flat surface into the side. Right now it looks like a perfect natural landing platform just happened to surface out of the lava for you.
As for the background... if you can't get terragen to do anything but variations on the default "blue sky and clouds", maybe try rendering it without a sky and adding a simple horizon gradient in the GIMP, and maybe layer it with some soot.
Although you know what this picture REALLY needs.... a volcano!
Something to consider... maybe you could export your landscape and use a 3D suite like blender to render it, since you'd have more control over light sources, haze, and stuff.
The intention for the flat surface was so that someone could add appropriate structures.
