Whole landscape disappears

[PeterParker]

Hello,

i´ve just made a landscape with 8 layers for the rocks put a river on it and some water.
But after a full render the landscape disappears in the preview window.
I didn´t resave my work :-(
But when i save any landscape with water and then load it back in to preview, the landscape is vanished and i´ve to recalculate the landscape.

Another problem is when i start TG2 50% of the processor is used by TG2, when i render something it´s 100%

This occures several times when i load Tg2 but not always.



Seems to me a bug or is this a feature ? ;-)

Regards

Peter

If you use heightfields for the landscape then it's normal they disappear when reloading. You can set them to auto generate to fix that...

Hey Mohawk,

many thanks for the tip i will use it in the future

I didn't think autogenerate worked yet for the heightfields.  Is it working now?

The preview window of the GUI uses only 1 core of the CPU. So a dualcore will have a last of 50%.
The full render uses the number of cores terragen detects on startup - so 100%.
For some cores you have to change the minimum number of threads in the advanced render settings.
