All your work of just a project? If just a project did you 'gather' it first?

no that's what I was referring to...and of course you've checked the 'assets' folder for the content. It might be having a hard time locating image maps...I think I ran into that with gathered projects. TG likes the images to be in the exact same folder as the objects.
After re checking the pic that is what it's telling you.
C&P the image maps to the assets folder and things ought to work as they're supposed to.

You might have to relink from the shaders involved.

Manually copying all your assets to your new folder won't work (well it might but it shouldn't)
You need to go to the file menu and select "Export Gathered Project".
This will prompt you to create a new folder which in turn will have a Project_Assets containing all you assets.
Most importantly this will rewrite all the paths within the Terragen project file to point  to the local Project_Assets folder.
You can now copy the entire gathered project to any location on any computer and it will open correctly.
