Planetside Software Forums

Hi Folks,

I've just published issue 24 of 3D Art Direct magazine, which is dedicated to Terragen. All interviews are conducted with those who are heavily involved in the Terragen universe. I'm very proud to include the transcript of the interview we did with Oshyan Greene, who is Planetside's business manager.


You can get access to the on-line edition of the magazine for free by signing up to the 3D Art Direct newsletter at http://3dartdirect.com/ (http://3dartdirect.com/)

As a reminder the first introductory session of TERRALIVE, the virtual live conference for the Terragen community is this Saturday the 5th of January at 20:00 GMT. You can gain access to this first session free at http://3dartlive.com/terralive/ (http://3dartlive.com/terralive/)

I give special thanks to New World Digital Arts who have assisted us to bring interviews with some incredible landscape artists that generously shared their portfolios and lives as Terragen artists.

Editorial : Tribute to Gerry Anderson

Interview : Oshyan Greene

Planetside's business manager takes us on a tour of how Terragen started, the capabilities of Terragen 2 and how it has been developed to meet production needs of effects studios.

Interview : Ulco Glimmerveen (Dune)

Replicating natural phenomena, recreating archaeological sites and providing outstanding artwork of our natural world, Ulco (AKA Dune) takes us through some of the best work from his portfolio created with Terragen 2.

New World Digital Arts Joint Interview

Master artists Jan Walter Schielp ("Walli") and Frank Basinski from New World Digital Arts.
"Don't be afraid of nodes. They really don't bite!" (Walli)

Interview : Franck Doassans

Franck's (AKA Seth) passion for Terragen and computer graphics is absolute; he spends all of his free time creating visual works. Frank has often said "In my right hand, I have the power to create a world !" - all thanks to Terragen!

Have a read and let me know what you think of this special edition of 3D Art Direct.

Kind regards

Paul Bussey
Editor of 3D Art Direct Magazine

This is great.  Subscribed!

Yes, just read through the entire magazine -- great interviews!

Glad those who have read this so far have enjoyed it.

It looks like Matt Fairclough (or his named twin) picked up his copy this morning.

If we do another Terragen special, who else would you like to see interviewed? Or are there some specific TG topics you would like to us to interview the artists about?

Did I miss hearing Matt's interview? 

Matt wasn't interviewed in this issue and it is certainly something we would like to do in the future.

But we did interview Oshyan Greene for the 3D Art Direct podcast here:-
