This weekend I visited the production of a TV-show in Cologne. Next day at breakfast, the showmaster and me were talking about visual effects in television. He assumes (without having seen this) that there is no need for natur in TV productions within the next 10 years.

I guess it will be quicker ,-)

I've been thinking about how to use Terragen 2 for a tv station logo. I'm waiting to get the full version, because I want it to be HD. But to do what I have in mind will call for a very wide group of shots, merged together seamlessly. The usual tacky logo stuff would be in front of this as it scrolls.
Anyway, a few tv stations in the area need new ID graphics. I need a new computer. :o

There will definitely be no need for nature in tv productions... in a sitcom ;D

There's two things keeping Terragen off the small screen (and big screen to a degree).

1. Miss-conceptions on the part of the design community, thinking Terragen is a small hobby or very specialized market. "Where on earth could we find someone who can even use this program?"
2. Long render times.

Both these issues are being addressed. If you look back through the archives of this forum and take a look at the images produced three years ago and those cumming out now, I mean wow!! how far we have come! We can now produce stunning images of better quality than the competition in a reasonable amount of time. Most studios will have their own render farm and the rendering efficiency is getting better all the time especially with the "bang for buck" cost of each render node dropping all the time.

It won't be long no before Terragen will be used as just another tool in the videographers tool box :)

Now that there is a 3D Studio plug in, I'll bet people will start using Terragen 2. Plug Ins are like wood working tools. You never have too many.
