The Progressio of a 3D landscape using fractals, extreme textures and extrusions combined with realistic elements.

 I used Autodesk 3DS Max to construct these series of images. Took quite a bit of tweaking over time, but finally ended up with a serviceable image.

Thought you might enjoy seeing some of the thinking and experimenting that goes behind
some ideas.

Enjoy

P.S.
Each image is actually much larger.
Double click on them to see actual sizes. All images are one after the other as they were created.
