Thanks for adding my tutorials to the list.  I'm writing another now on migrating from Terragen 0.9 to Terragen 2.0 since some people seem to have some problems getting used to the new program.

Thanks.  The more we know, the more we can share, the more we can know.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

After playing around for a little bit, I think im going to start at the top of these and start going through the list :D I am enjoying just fiddling around and such, but after trying to figure out what a few settings actually do, and not seeing the difference, I think its time for structure here :)

thanks for putting these all in one place, I know myself and lots of others are thankful :D


Jane

Thank you!!!
Its so nice to have them all listed together, and to have a name for each tut.
I am a noob too, so this will give me an organized way to start and work my way up.
I will need to get ready for the upcoming class, and this will help me greatly.

This is a great idea, but I think it's going to be most useful if we're careful to make sure that actual tutorials are listed, as opposed to simple discussions.

I have to agree with Ron here. Just check out that "fake stones" discussion if you really want to get confused between fake stones and rock populations.

Njen

Woot! My page got included in the sticky :) I'm back from my Christmas holiday and will be adding lot's more to the Atmosphere Examples page very soon!
