new to terragen2 seeking some help - camera anim scripts

[ZXWstrtr]

Can somebody describe the steps of how to import a camera animation script .chan
file into Terragen 2? I've used TG1, and am trying to switch over to TG2 now, but
am having problems.

I've read in other posts that .chans are merely text files, (which I've created)
and saved as straight DOS format text files. But when I try to do (what I think
is) importing that file using the [IMPORT CHAN FILE] button, nothing seems to happen.


my typical text file in WordPad....





I know little of TG2 and am missing my old TG1, but I need the new features
and am trying hard to adjust.



import screens?...







I basically need a step-by-step.

Thanks; Dave

You need a reference for the .CHAN format itself. These previous threads may help:

When you click on eth import chan file button it al come sin.
To play back the animation - make sure you select the camera and hit play.
Select the camera in the second button along under the small rendered viewport

From your screenshot it looks like it has imported the first frame of the animation correctly, but the text hasn't been coloured so it appears that the values aren't animated. Are you using Terragen 2 with Animation? Animation is only possible if you purchase Terragen 2 with the Animation option.
