You can paint a rainbow too.

Inspired by one of the real photo's on Lucretias blog - here - I wondered if a silicon brain could duplicate such a dramatic scene. Numerous films, such as the, er, 'unique' Star Trek movies mention terraforming or the altering of a planet to become like the earth.

I'm therefore currently messing around with Terragen, software that allows you to create landscapes, skys, lakes and mountains - and then take pictures of them.

I like my pic above but trust me, it's nothing compared with what experienced users are getting from it - see here for some truly amazing examples....
