Export to Rhino

[Lex47]

Hi,

I am new to Terragen. I design multihull yachts and I like to set them in a Terragen enviroment.
Normally I work in Rhino. My problem is that the Rhino models have to be converted to OBJ's and then imported. The files tend to be large and I loose the colouring as well.
Can I export Terragen files to Rhino. or does anyone has other suggestions?

Regards
Lex

Hi Lex,

I don't have any help for you I'm afraid. I just thought I'd mention that before I started working for Planetside I was a boatbuilder and studying yacht design. This was quite a few years ago now. I became interested in TG because I was looking for something which made nice skies and water for displaying my boat models. After using TG for a bit I decided that it had too much potential not to be available on the Mac ( I was using Microstation and Maxsurf on the Mac for my yacht design stuff ) and I started working on a Mac port.

Anyway, sorry I have no suggestions, but what you were saying struck a chord with me :-).

Regards,

Jo

Hello,

Can you send me ( kz_3d@tvn.hu ) one of your .tgo files ?
After this I will convert it to .obj format with 3D Object Converter ( http://web.t-online.hu/karpo ) and I will send back to you the exported .obj file to check out the result.

Regards,

or you can export your file in obj 3ds lightwave etc from rhino ( ihave done this in Rhino before) and run it through a program called pose ray which works realy well with terragen 2 (the best probably) then save it as an obj file then impost it into terragen 2 and Walah there you have it!

you can download terragen 2 here
