Welcome to David's Terragen Art Page
These images were computer-generated via several processes. First I get the USGS terrain data for a given locale (all of these are of Marin County, California), and extract or "extrude" the data into a 3-D elevation model. Once that data is saved, I use Terragen to create the textures, lighting, atmosphere, and overall appearance. Presently I am using the 1997 Census Bureau's "Land Usage and Terrain Data" maps to create realistic Marin landscapes. I ignore all but basic terrain features, thereby capturing the area as it might look without all us humans and our stuff!
(OK, so I get out there a little on Mysterious Marin!)
