photorealistic landscape imagery and animations. It is available for

television and music videos, games and multimedia, books, magazines and
print advertisements.
Despite the fact that Terragen can be used for

picture in as little as 15 minutes after installation. Terragen has a
native user interface, using facilities provided by the operating
system of the respective platform, as opposed to the custom user
