Hello!
From time to time i try to grasp some Terragen, this year i decided to restart learning it, hope for the best
I'm trying to populate a landscape using tree billboards (cards as Terragen calls them) but i'm facing an issue with cards orientation.
I cannot make Terragen to place all the cards facing the render camera on the Y axis. Yes i can limit the angle range so that they "more or less" are facing the camera but it's not really true as they have all the same angle and the rightmost and leftmost cards are not really facing the camera. Did i miss some option?
About population color control: is a card population capable of being controlled by a color node? I cannot make it working.
Moreover, cards look rendered all the same, like if lighting contitions don't really affect them. I remember that Vue had an option to "shade" billboards so they look more natural. Is it possible in Terragen?
About population variery: if i'd like to mix different trees in a population, should i add separated populations one for each tree? Isn't it possible to populate with a single population so trees don't overlap using the distance parameters?
Thanks! Umberto
