Hello everyone :)
I'm new to Terragen and this forum. As part of my diploma thesis I try to analyze how clouds (cumulus) are being generated for feature films. Often inhouse-tools or a combination of Houdini and Maya are the tools of choise. At cgtalk someone pointed to Terragen and told me that it was used in Tron. I would like to know if somebody knows other feature films where Terragen was used to create the clouds. Any information is highly welcome :)
Hi Terragen was used to do many skies in GI JOE: Rise of Cobra
I think it was used in "Golden Compass" too.

I find this part bloody amazing in itself! :D
TG2 was also used extensively in Sucker Punch. We'll be making an announcement about that shortly.

I used still renders of TG2 clouds and animated them in XSI for Golden Compass:

For The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus there were a mix of animated TG2 3D clouds and 360 cycloramas:

For 127 Hours there's a high side shot of a bank of storm cloud approaching the canyon he's trapped in which is all TG2 3D animated clouds.
Thank you all for the information! :)
Nice to hear about 127 hours Jim, I wasn't aware of that one. I meant to come back and mention Parnassus though. :)

wasn't it used in TRON LEGACY too?
Indeed. He mentioned TRON in his first message though. :)
