Is it possible to render a "cartoon-ish" Sky ?

[Kadri]

Thanks Oshyan and Michael!

Render time was 2.45 hours (100 frames, I7 2600K ) .
I wanted to see how it would look too.
Michael gave me the reason to do it

Yes, your not the only pesron who enjoys proving me wrong, Kadri.   

[Kadri]

This Terragen piece of software looks like it is very small and easy ,
but by the time i learn new things i mostly forget other things too all the time.
Like the thread about the rings Michael

[Oshyan]

So about 1.5 minutes per frame? That's not bad at all. For higher quality figure 15-30 min/frame at 1080p I suppose.

Probably Oshyan.
Because it was fast enough i did not bother to see how i could optimize it.
So it could be faster too.

@Kadri:

Wow, you just got it right I tried your attached .TGD files and get lots of warnings.
Unfortunatly, I can not find out, which of the files it the right on to archive the look of the last image
(I marked it with a red cross) 

[Kadri]

Thanks

It is the  " Untitled_09_cok_renkli_kenar_farkli_sert.tgd " file .

Render times are much longer with that file.
So you have to try to optimize it more maybe.

There shouldn't any error messages actually.
I did not use any other object or image map (so far i know).
Do you use an older version of Terragen?
Mine is 3.0.07.0.
(I know this is not the last build but i think the new build is very near so i still did not update it to the last build.)

[Onkelpoe]

Yes, we are useing 2.4 in the Office - but should geht the 3.x version soon (according to our Boss)
Can you save the tgd in a compatible format?

If not, i will try TG 3 free version, till we finally get it in the office...

Cheers!

[Kadri]

Can not say for sure but i think the errors should be harmless mostly ,
because i did not used anything specific for TG3 .
If you try a smaller render (200 x 100 for example ) you will see the same scene probably.
If not i will look at it ones more.

[Onkelpoe]

I openen the file you said and hit the render-button - but my scene looks different from what is in your image.

Would you mind to share your settings, then I can test and experiment myself?
Like what you did with cloud and lighting settings and so on...

Thx a lot ! 

[Kadri]

Actually the best way is to use the free version of TG3.
In that way you will see all the settings for yourself.

It looks like i have used some settings like "Gully smoothing" in the density fractal for the clouds.

I found an old 2.5 version of Terragen on my PC and i am testing it now.
It is the only setting i changed and the new and old render looks the same with that option turned to " 0 "
I am not sure how to replicate the same cloud on the old TG2.

[Onkelpoe]

Thank you man, would be awesome if you can test it come up with settings for old terragen.
Meanwhile, I take a look at TG3

[Kadri]

...

[Kadri]

I tried some different settings with the 2.5 version.
Try the new file (for TG 2.5) i post here please.
It looks close i think but not the same cloud of course.
I hope you will get the same result on your computer.
