Image Sharing / Re: Terragen Sky examples
Last post by robk2024 - May 18, 2024, 06:39:38 PM
I have a question about you cloud samples in your 25 sky videos.  I have been producing clouds for my artwork and Architectural renders and I haven`t seen or been able to produce some of the skies similar ro what you do.  Especially the ones with clouds more on the horizon with clear blue skies above.  I would like to find out how to do that.  I am attaching samples screen grabbed from your videos to show the type of skies I would like to produce. I have prefixed them with hs (horizon sky).  I will also attach 2 other images from your videos showing a more of a thundercloud type of cloud (prefixed with th). I know Terragen sky doesn`t have a Cumiulo Nimbus (spelling) type of cloud but I would like to produce a more thunderhead type of look.
I would be pleased if you could reply and let me know.
Crap looks like you need the images online to upload but I think you get my drift about the clouds on the horizon issue.
Also id there some forum the people can exchange .TGV files that you know of.
Thanks in advance
Or if anyone else could help me out I would appreciate it.

Found another free archive for Vue. The QuadSpinner collection. It is open-sourced now.

Speedtree, but some flowers were made in Lightwave and then imported. Hairy seed possibly in ZBrush, can't remember which one I added.

What software did you use to create them?

Thanks. I later thought the same. The purple have been changed a bit in the meantime, the white still needs adjustment.

the green grass and the purple brush are very realistic

the white and blue are not as convincing

Nevermind - it seems EXR have problems with umlauts in path names (äöü) and will not open/save in some apps. I had the same problem recently but can't recall it happen before. Strange, but at least I can use a workaround by not using umlauts.

Terragen Support / TG 4.7.19 - saved EXRs faulty?
Last post by pokoy - May 15, 2024, 04:36:52 PM
I just rendered a few EXR files and noticed that saving them will result in a file I/O error in TG, saving to desktop worked fine for some reason.
Still, it seems I can't open the EXRs in other apps... no idea what's wrong but could someone test whether EXR files save fine and can be opened elsewhere?

Hi Mike, welcome!

Did you mean the preview that automatically starts, or did you use the Render Image button?

It might still be progressively refining the preview, taking more samples to reduce noise. Does it say "Preview finished" below the Preview Mode buttons? You might try turning off all the cloud layers so it completes more quickly, just to test if it ever finishes.

Another thing to consider is that some of the preview modes will render a full 360, and they can take a while to complete. I wonder if that's what's happening.
