Sand dunes

[FG19]

Hi there
I want to create a sea of sand dunes. What would be the best way of doing that?
Thanks for any help.

The simple way is to use a ridged noise on the Fractal Landscape. There is more that can be done, but I would like to see an image from you. Then us forum junkies can see where to give better/more advice.

Thanks, where in the interface do I find that, you can tell I'm new to this

Nearly everything in Terragen 2 starts with the Terrain Tab. Click on the Add Terrain and you should see Fractal as a choice.

Here is a link that will explain a lot about Terragen 2. It's the User Guide. I re-read it on occasion just to refresh my memory.

Here is a link to Schmeerlap's tutorial on getting started with Terragen 2. It's one of the best (maybe the best) tutorial written about getting started in Terragen 2.

Thanks, I have read the Planetside tutorial but I'l give the second one a go, looks interesting.

It took me a while to get to know where things were, and what they did. When I started using T2, there was very little documentation. I avoided forums (still do) until I read a few posts in this one. I liked the camaraderie and the quick responses from other users and the staff at Planetside. Now I am a junkie...
