IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This is the Valley of Chamonix, in the French Alps, with the famous Mont-Blanc
(4808mts) and its glaciers, as seen from the Aiguilles Rouges.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I imported this terrain from greyscale datas and converted it into Terragen
format with the correct altitudes. I used 3 layers, that I draw manually, to
overlay the glaciers, stones and woods. Otherwise, I used 12 mother-surfaces. I
setup the surfaces and the atmosphere to get something similar to an autumnal
morning, some days after the first snowfall.
