Has anyone out there heard of or used Terragen (A terrain generator program)
You can control the land made with it,also the sky,clouds,water,water,sun...etc
I have found a few members using this and claiming they have taken a landscape and manipulated it when in fact I believe the image never saw the inside of any kind of camera.Every inch of it was made in a computer.
Do you think this is wrong?

Claiming it startred out as a photo taken with a camera when in fact it never was.
Oh they say where the picture was taken and even claim they wrote a program to manipulate it.
My kids can make one of these in about an hour but don't claim they went half way around the world to do it

I have two in my folio if you go back about a year.
They are called My Mountain and Desert Sunrise.
Sorry I can't get this link thing to work.
I never claimed them to be real though

I don't think its any worse than people putting fractal patterns in the gallery.... or any of the fantasy digital creations that you see from time to time.
Do I think they're photography? No.. do they have a right to sit in the gallery? Yes..... its not my site.... I don't decide what goes in and what is excluded. I use it for what I want to get out/put in and so do others.
If someone claims to have taken a genuine photo and its actually entirely CGI constructed using cheap 3D software.. then I feel sorry for them, and the people who haven't the eye to spot the difference ;O)
A few years ago, I was bored with time on my hands and spent a fair amount of time with Bryce creating elaborate 3D landscapes. One of these is my top earner over on one of the cheapo stock-photography sites. Even had one customer complaining that she thought it really was a photo until she saw it full size - despite me making it clear in the picture's description that it was a 3D rendering!
I've even been tempted to upload it here on a couple of occasions, just for a laugh....
