Keeping my site alive – Thanks to you

Hello – as some of you know, I've often considered shutting down my website due to the ongoing costs of maintaining an online store. Every year, around the time the domain comes up for renewal, it's the annual report that ends up saving it — although it's been a close call these past few years. And once again, that will be the case for the coming year: the bare minimum has been reached to keep the site running.

Of course, Terragen's development has slowed down, with fewer new features being released, and I don't have much time to add fresh content to the store. Still, it remains a fantastic piece of software — truly one of a kind — and I believe many of the small scenes available on my site can still be quite useful for beginners. They're great for getting familiar with the software, experimenting, and working with ready-made presets and test scenes.

So I'm glad that at least financially I'm not running at a loss, and that the site can stay up and available to you.

Warm regards.

I hope you can maintain it in future, Luc. I always thought you made wonderful work, and the presets are indeed a welcome addition to this great software. It's been my standard render program for ages now, and I don't think that will end soon. I am pretty familiar with most of its intricacies (at least the ones I need), but I guess new users will find your work interesting to dissect and learn. But I have no idea how many people use it as 'we' once used it, and learned from eachother on this site. It was an interesting and lively time in a great user group, which I sometimes miss. I think Unreal has taken over a lot of world builders.
So good luck!
