Today's surprise-Beta Release

I don't think you can directly export it, just as you can't export any other generated textures directly. However you could use the usual trick of rendering a top-down orthographic and square camera view without haze and with lighting at 90 degrees vertical. That ought will give you the best approximation for now. We'll be improving export functions in the future.

I was doing some searching over the internet to find out what's behind the filter names and I've found two websites about filters in 3DS Max and in Blender. There is some explanation of the differences. Worthy looking:

and

This is the same thing as making an endless loop.  You can do the same thing by attaching the end node to itself, which is what you've done.

I was  running through a tutorial and stumbled on a thing that seems to cause my brand new copy of TG2 beta to immediately exit to desktop.

Open TG2.
Click Shaders
Click Add Layer and choose "Surface Layer"
On the  Colour tab, Click the "..." button   to the right of "Color Function" and choose Assign Shader "/Surface layer 01".
TG2 exits to desktop  Immediately without any error message.

If there are any log files I can send, let me know and I'll send them along.

Anyone know if you can use the painted shader at a slope with the translations? That is, paint a mask at a certain angle, not on a sloped terrain because it's for clouds. Would it be easiest to make a terrain with the slope I want and paint on that?

[Mohawk20]

Why do you need the slope?

Perhaps paint on a tilted plane?

Basically I want a cloud to be sloped a certain way but using god know how many redirect shaders is no good.
