March update

[Matt]

otakar,

We won't suddenly raise the price without giving you reasonable notice in advance... we will give you that.

Excelent news, sorry about the conspiracy theory stuff, guess I didn't realize I was pressing a sensitive button

I'm not sensitive about it... just thought it best not to completely ignore it.

Thanks, Matt! I'll stay tuned, but I'll be traveling the last week in March, so I am especially curious how soon this is going to happen (and yes, I will need to know what the full price will be before I can make a decision on forking out a couple hundred bucks.) Too bad you won't have the basic version worked out for the big release (its limitations and price)...

Great news!

Just a reminder Matt: You have five days left to release within announced time frame. 

Don't worry, I still have faith. But do you think you can make it, with the full documentation and all?

[rcallicotte]

I don't think they're going to make March.

I don't think they're going to make March. 

But there is no change to the fact that we are releasing Terragen 2.0 this month, and we made sure of that before we started talking about it.

That's what Matt said on the 13th March.

..... with the full documentation and all?

I'm thinking this is the bit that will take the longest, getting documentation that makes sense together with examples of some of the more esoteric functions could be a real pain!
GOOD LUCK

Yes I think the docs would take a long time to write. But the docs could have been written weeks and months ago, no reason to think it's all been left to the last minute. Apart from the paint shader I don't think any new nodes have been added so a lot of it could have been written last year.

Hi Matt

You said nothing about the documentation (user manual) being completed for final release. Will it Be?

John

Yes, it will be.

Talking about documentation, will the math and logic behind the functions be explained in detail or is this a level of understanding we'll have to acquire on our own. Some or our members seem to be able to manipulate the function nodes with a very deep understanding whilst others (myself included) barely touch them.
thanks
richard

[mt_sabao]

yes, a thorough and nicely written documentation will be a gift from the gods!
Oh, and can i have a DVD with tutorials with that please? 

[rcallicotte]

The DVDs and tutorials with example files would be what I think could do okay.  Maybe we should ask Frank how his business is doing with his tutorials and files, etc.

The best place to learn 3D maths and how they string together is to look at the Cryengine 2. The flowgraphs are pretty much identical.

I'd even take a bittorrent DVD image to self burn or something like that to ease distribution of the DVD.
