Title: Heightfield present but not showing up
Post by: N-drju on April 08, 2013, 01:10:15 PM
Hello again

I am having a minor yet annoying problem with heightfields. I am saving the project and when I open Terragen the next time, I get perfectly flat area... I have to regenerate the heightfield once again and only then mountains and hills show up. Then, everything looks as it did before. What's wrong?

Heightfield fractals and 'heightfield generate' nodes (in short - ALL that refers to heightfield) are there in the node view, but don't show up directly after Terragen is launched. Also, all objects, atmosphere and shaders are in place. Except for elevations...

Unless you check auto generate, you will have to generate the terrain manually.

Like, each and every time I launch the project? I just saw it and checked it. Thanks.  :)

If you just want to keep the same exact heightfield, i.e. you are done editing it, then you can generate it then Right-click and Save As, specify a file name with .TER at the end, then use a Heightfield Load in place of your Heightfield Generate, load the file you saved, and you'll never have to Generate it again.
