Hey Brainiac. How is it going?
I have the same problem I.R. I have seen many great things from artist that use POV-Ray, but I had problems using it, maybe its because I havent really dedicated any time in learning it.

Terragen is free right? I looked on the site and I didn't see anything about paying. This program might help me on my project I've been putting off. If people are keeping track, yes, I have alot of projects partly started or planned.

Yes Weaksid, Terragen is a freeware. You only have to pay for registration if you want it for commercial use, which enables you to render images at higher resolutions and enhanced anti-aliasing modes.

I downloaded terragen. I might have to sit down and go over all the controls before I start it. It has alot of functions, just in buttons and bars. Nothing like Bryce. O'well, I'll get to it sometime.
