 Try to choose a photograph that is high resolution. |

Third Step:Convert the Photograph
The third step is to convert the photograph to grayscale.
In this case the photograph is already grayscale.

Sixth Step:Import to Terragen
we are now ready to open Terragen.
When you open the terrain
the first thing to do is choose modify terrain
In the window Bound Vertical change the from box to 0
and leave the to box as 31.7499 then bound the vertical.
This helps to smooth the terrain.
The rest of the settings for this Terrain are contained in the World file JudyGarland.tgw and the surface files.

Notice the altitude is very high(7500m)
And the camera is at -90 pitch.
It is also centered over the terrain.
Also you will notice the water setting.
It is very high,and is completely transparent.
This means the terrain is completely
underwater.
Also notice the light settings.
I achieved the colors by rendering The terrain in several colors and then I used Paint Shop Pro to cut and paste The layers together.
After the terrain is rendered it will
Be necessary to crop it again,and of course
There will be some postwork necessary.
Each portrait will give different results.
It will depend on the original.
