Jo & Lat, thank you both so much for your help. It did really help me out. Jo, What you had said about moving the camera in preview, I certainly noticed yesterday. I sat there, moved to a new location, added what I wanted to add, for what little I know, rendered & yup, it rendered the original view before I moved it. I did search around in there & came upon that little button to transfer preview to render camera.
It will be fun learning all about terragen 2. I use to use terragen classic & really enjoyed it. It will take me some time understanding all the different values, shaders & their values. I certainly will have to get a good understanding of the terms that all these numbers represent before I really can make adjustments, otherwise I am just blindly changing numbers. Thats all part of the fun.
I will have to get out a good dictionary & look up all these terms such as tweak fractal, its variation, multi scale modulator, variation method, buoyancy variation and many many more. I really look forward to getting to know Terrragen 2. IT can create such wonderful scenes, both still & animation. An truly amazing program & I certainly tip my hat to those that had a part in making it what it is.
I tried to follow the McDuff tutorial yesterday. I made some mistake along the way. WhenI added the shaders, a light red & a dark red to the upper & lower something or other, & at the point when we were asked to do a preview render, my ground was red. I have no Idea where I went wrong. Would have been great for mars.
I use Poser as well. At first I was a little scared of it. So many terms I was unfamiliar with. Just took time, patience and made sure I had fun along the way.
Thank you both again for taking the time to help me out. I hope one day I can do the same for others here.
Rick
