I want to find an object like "car.object". I have 911 tgd files. Any way to search them all?

Hi Kevin,
No problem, I'll go ahead and make the request.
Also, I've forwarded you my original email for reference.
Thanks, and have a great day!

Quote from: DutchDimension on February 20, 2020, 10:56:13 PMthe use of backslashes and the forward slashes of Linux and macOS. Sending Windows scene files over to a Linux based render farm requires manual swapping out of file paths. Could this be handled automatically somehow?
Hey
@Matt ,
Did automatic conversion of slashes for non-gathered assets get implemented? We just converted some of our farm to linux so we are bumping into this issue. We're using 4.7.19, currently.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Not sure 'taking off' is the right word — let's say I've stepped back for now, except for some small personal renders and tests, as I wait for something truly new to come along (though I'm not sure what to expect, but hey, let's stay positive).
Given my current role as an Unreal trainer, it makes sense that I mainly use that software.
That said, I did reach out to Planetside recently to ask if they could provide a student version of TerraSky for my classes, since there's a live link between TerraSky and Unreal — even in real time. But I never got a reply... always a nice touch, lol.
Just to clarify — I'm not advertising Unreal here, but it's worth pointing out that Epic does a lot to support both professionals and hobbyists. Everyone knows Unreal is "free", but they also regularly offer high-quality assets — some permanently, and others refreshed every two weeks. That kind of support definitely helps explain why Unreal has built such a strong following.
Have a nice day!

Thanks for your comprehensive reply, Luc. So you've taken off too
I think I would, if I didn't have so much invested in Terragen in terms of workflow and assets, that ' tool of rare elegance', as you so aptly described it. It's in my genes by now.
I hope you'll be succesful in your work, whether it be TG or unreal!
All best,
Ulco

Great! I wish I were there too. Love the sky. Stars might perhaps be a little less harsh, but it's hard to get the fine nuance in a starry sky (takes more detail and a good resolution). Good work, thanks for posting!

Basis of this one is Ulco's "Warped Sun" tgd. I swapped his starry background shader for Jordan's latest Starfield Generator, added fake stones, an Easy cloud node, and a few populations.

I'd offer some constructive advice, but I couldn't get even close to creating anything this good. Excellent!
