Hi Frank, I've got 2.2. What's the difference?  ;D

//edit. I can see, 2 forms added. That's worth it :)

I've already got it.  And worth every penny of the original price.  For 1.99 an even bigger steal!!  Monks - you want it, you need it.  Make sure you have latest version of TG2 though...

The cumulus pack V3 takes advantage of the new TG2.2 features, including lighting and the raytrace renderer.
But the biggest thing is in the cloud itself. As you can see in the demo picture, it has softer features at the bottom and as you go higher, more of the cauliflower shapes materialize, just as it should be in the real thing. This was only possible since TG2.2, hence I had to wait so long with making this available. Overall, these clouds look much more natural than the cumulus V2 ones, although the V2 still have their unique use cases.

Cheers,
Frank

I tried for quite a while to get the 'look' that Frank's clouds have. I bought this and learned quite a lot from it.

(Frank later told me that many of the great clouds he had in his renders were made using the alpha Terragen 2.2. I was a little bent out of shape for a minute; I had been trying to get the 'look' just right. Then I had to laugh. Thanks for making this available Frank. It's been a great help.)

 Yes, worth ever penny!
  Hey, I've had TG Deep with Anim since the day it came out pfrancke  ;D I don't get that much chance to give over to getting good renders, though I'd like to. So I never post my doodlings. I am though looking to change that soon and do some renders of the terrain project I'm with (ME-DEM).
