To achieve good results, you always have to fiddle a lot around these and that, especially colors.
Your colors are great, they look very natural!
@ Dune, thx for your example!

Thanks very much for that example Kevin.
When I copied what you had done, it worked, so it made me realise that I was putting a capital letter in at the start of the tag, and it looks like it doesn't like that. If I use all lower case, it works. That will make life a lot easier.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Yes, I applied a tag to a TGO formatted object and it works as expected. I also exited the library and shutdown Terragen and restarted it, and the tags were still there.
What version of Terragen are you using?
Here's a screen shot of what I'm seeing:

Thank you very much for the valuable tips. I will apply them to my next pictures.

Yes, sphere works better than lake. You can raise/lower water level by putting the water shader as child on an empty surface shader and use offset.
My example was very basic, just to proof the simple principle. I guess for a 'similar' result you should add the color stack you had and thicken the default shader masked density, or take the reflection down (or translucency), and perhaps raise the murk more (and maybe use unclamped color to displace, not an internal displacement, which also displaces downward).

Thanks Kevin. I tried that. I can add them to clip files, but it doesn't save them if I add them to tgo objects?
Are you able to add them to objects?
Thanks.

You can add tags to items in the library by selecting an item and adding a tag description via the Metadata tab > Tags field. Tags are saved instantly and automatically. You can then search by tags by clicking on the small magnifier icon near the bottom of the window and selecting "Search by Tags".

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Terragen, but I can't seem to figure out how to add tags to objects in the library.
Once I've added the object, if I try to write the tag in after, it doesn't seem to save it and I don't know how to save it?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
Rob.

I have added the sphare configuration to my file. I think it's a good idea to use sphare instead of lake.
The rendering time is shorter, but the result is not as good.
