Terragen

Has anybody else used/heard of Terragen?

Terragen™

It's a landscape generator. Just about fully customizable. Terragen and Terragen 2 are both free for non commercial use.

First one is 1, second one is 2

Is it based on fractal landscape generation?

Possibly. What is fractal landscape generation?

Like it just seemingly randomly generates realistic landscapes based on wierd equations.
EDIT -
It doese

Quote:

* Cutting-edge adaptive subdivision renderer.
* Modular, plugin-based architecture.
* Render entire planets, sweeping vistas, tiny rock gardens, or anything in between.
* Import 3D objects for rendering. Export high resolution objects.
* Render millions of boulders or trees using "instancing".
* Add multiple heightfields to your scene. Use procedural terrains that can span an entire planet.
* Apply almost "infinite" fractal detail to terrain and other objects.
* Overhanging terrain using procedural displacements, image-based displacements, or imported geometry.
* Volumetric clouds or fast "2.5D" clouds.
* Production quality anti-aliasing and motion blur.
* Node graph editor for ultimate control over shaders and textures.

AWESOME! I'm downloading it now haha

On 1, you can sculpt your own landscape, as well as have it generate randomly. I don't think you can sculpt landscape on 2, but it looks like you can import files for landscape and water effects.

They can both be a bit hard to get the hang of at first. PM me if you need help.

I'm ashamed to say it doesn't run on my Vista system

Ziggy Fry · 08-26-2008, 08:10 PM

=/

Did you download version 1 or 2?

Sin.Ziggy.

I accidentally made a field of flowers =P I meant to import trees hehe.

Smaerd · 08-26-2008, 08:28 PM

hahah that's cool. I tried number one Mayb's I should try number two. I will attempt tommarrow haha.

Ziggy Fry · 08-26-2008, 09:29 PM

Ok.

For 2, you're probably going to want to google for tutorials. I couldn't figure it out on my own.
