Eventually, you should also try to do a tutorial on how to make a big sun wit Terragen 2 like you see in a lot of renders all over the internet but hardly any tutorials. There are a lot of people I know that want to know how to make renders like those ones.
Either way, this site looks like it's going to be fantastic. :-)
Thanks Clayton. Eventually tutorials for "minor" subjects like these will be added too. I have about a dozen in my head of those.
First I will start with the basics of TG2 so that everybody can start scene building as quickly as possible.
I consider this the most important (missing information).
At a later stage definitely tricks and how to's will be added.

I have an idea for something that needs done. A run through of all the tweaks in the powerfractal. Possibly renders of what the effect is. I've put files around that have deliberately basic settings because I've tried to show certain graph effects. The art is then tweaking the fractals to have more interesting forms. I think a full run through of this simple starting point is currently lacking.
It's in my list of tutorials, and actually at a pretty high position. I do have a little problem though.
I need help from Matt with this, because especially in the tweak tab there are some parameters I can't really explain well.
For instance, but I do *not* want to deviate the discussion towards this, the bouyancy and clumping parameters are not effective in all modulation modes and I can't tell exactly how noise variation works for every specific modulation mode.
I write transcripts for my tutorials so I'm considering asking Matt to go through the transcript for the powerfractal.
It's an essential node I reckon.
