Crimson_3 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Just downloaded terragen, that's my first try at it. Any good? Is there anywhere I can go to that has tutorials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theak Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 To be frank? It isn't that good at all. It's not only very basic, but also very small... Things you should improve: - Mountain ranges and the sea don't just end that abruptly (right of your image). - When is the sky ever purple? You may be trying to achieve an abstract effect but if you are, it isn't working... - There needs to be a texture on the mountain range. - My opinion only, but there should be a larger variation between highly and lowly lit areas so reposition the sun. - There should be more mountains behind those mountains. - What mountains have you seen that delve into water at 70 degrees from the horizontal? At most, there is a 30 - 40 degree slope. ________________________________________ If you want tutorials then go on Google and search for Terragen tutorials. If you want person to person help, then ask Nadril if he can help you (only if he is willing of course) - he is now getting fairly adept with this program so he should be able to offer some helpful and useful advice. If you still need help, come to me since I was the one that instructed Nadril in his early stages for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson_3 Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 Thanks for your response. If only I knew how to change half the things you said :lol: I'll be messing around with it for now unless I find some tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySmum Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 With Terragen I find it's best to just get down to it and make things. It's so simple that you don't reallly need tutorials; that's what's so great about it compared to Bryce :) . Try clicking the tabs on the left of the image, and fiddling around with the settings.

Demoris Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 The Terragen website gives info on how to use and what the different options do. There aren't any true tutorials since every image comes out differently in Terragen. http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
