>> 5 different landscapes

" Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea...The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions."

Moutain Landscape

This is a image of the moutain landscape in Shennongjia, China.

The vegetations are in beautiful green color, and the landform is quiet rocky.

The light seems little dusty grey between the moutains.

Icy landscape

The icy landscape is frozen anywhere, and hardly to get any vegetation on it.

The sunshine effect quite bright on the white ice.

>> 10 tips and tricks

1 The top left "perspective" means the current viewpoint is perspective one, right click can get more viewpoints and useful stuff as well.

2 To get "wireframe mode": right click on the "perspective"; press key "F3"; cilck the "Display" in the menu at the top.

3 The two numbers at the top right means the resolution you are using at the moment, right cilck can get more options or just move the right roller bar to change the resolution in real time.
