About:
-----------------------------
Terranim2Chan will take the output Terragen script from Terranim (.tgs), 
and convert it into a .txt file that is readable as a chan file in
Terragen 2 for camera movement through frames.

-----------------------------
How To Use:
-----------------------------
Double click the Terranim2Chan file to run the jar file.  It should come
up with a small window.
 - First browse to find the tgs file you wish to convert.
 - Input the offset values of where the terrain is located in Terragen2,
   by default when loaded in it usually is at 0,0 (x, z).
 - Then double check the ter size and meters size for the conversion.
   By default TG2 generated terrain is 1000 ter size, and 10000 meters.
 - Now browse to find where to save the file to.  You can save to an
   existing txt file, or type in a name for a new one.  If you do not
   set the file type to .txt, the program will automatically add it for you.
 - Click convert.  The process should only take a second or two, but may be
   longer depending on the length of the animation.
 - Once finished, it should pop up telling you it successfully completed, and
   inform you how many frames were processed from the tgs file.

-----------------------------
Tips to make it work:
-----------------------------
- Keep terrains positioned by lower left corner, not centered.
- Keep things square, ter size and meters.  Not 100% sure if it will work
  otherwise.
- Displacement outside the ter (shaders for example) will not be shown when 
  creating the animation in Terranim, and thus, might cause it hard to animate
  later as the terrain will be different heights/positions, etc.  Try to keep
  shader displacements as small as possible.
- Compensate for vegetation.  If you are doing close fly by's make sure you keep
  in mind where the vegetation will be too.

-----------------------------
Updates to come:
-----------------------------
Modify start position of the camera to allow to start on different areas
besides default.

-----------------------------
Requirements:
-----------------------------
Java Runtime Environment to run the jar file.
