terragen 2 is near

[ducasse]

Terragen 2 (TG2) is now the primary development focus of Planetside Software. TG2 is a complete rewrite of Terragen from scratch, and is a significant advance beyond the capabilities of Terragen v0.9. Apart from being a much more powerful renderer, TG2 has a much more flexible architecture which will allow development to proceed at a considerably greater pace.

TG2 Technology Preview will be available for everyone to download, but will require joining a mailing list to gain access to the download. It will be free for personal non-commercial use1. Licenses for commercial use will be available for purchase. More details will be available closer to release.

yeah, but the question is when. Their webpage said today, but no sign of anything new.

Man, I went and downloaded that "Technology Preview".

It is COMPLETELY different from any other version of Terragen!!!! :confused:

I tried and tried............but could not even begin to figure-out how to use it!!!

If anyone else actually figures out a bit about how to actually use this, could you post some helpful hints and tips or tutorials here?

Thanks.

I feel dumb.

...there is a documentation somewhere around - although not that detailed, but should help for a good start!

although i believe, you have that already - read thoroughly and it gives some clues.....

Thanks frolicy.

I downloaded and read it. Call me dumb, but it still didn't really enlighten me too much.

I think Terragen folks REALLY went from one extreme to another with this new release. The last one was Very User-Friendly, this one has a Much Harder learning curve.

My opinion only.....like I said, I must be dumb. Even though I used to be the Director of Visual Arts for a Performing Arts Center.
