Is there a possibility that u share the file?

Yes, I will: First I post the link from where I myself learned it: http://terragenfmtoffolo.blogspot.no/2007/02/rock-over-rock-tutorial.html

Here it is without the plants: But you should follow the link above: First make the stone shader for the big stones, then the stone shader for the "small" connected under the "big". Copy the big one (must be an exact copy of the big one) turn the colors all up to white, then connect the copy of the "big" stone shader to the mask input of the "small" stone shader. In the small stone shader check the invert mask. (I added another stone layer of a bit bigger "small" stones with another exact copy of the big stone shader as an invert mask.)

There's something weird going on. When I open this file, there's nothing in it! All greyed out, empty, just like your other file. You're not bugging them, are you?

Ulco i was curious and downloaded the file too.
It looks like it has the same problem that he posted in the OBJ importing problem thread.
The TGD file looks like is corrupt here too.

As Oshyan said changing all the commas to a period in the file fixes the problem.
At least in this file

Yup...big job but it makes the .tgd load just fine. Great detective work  Oshyan

It's not a big job if you use a good text editor and Search and Replace. ;)

For basic things like that (and many more) i use since nearly 20 years Total Commander.
It is a great little software.

Agree, bus sussing out that it was commas instead of periods is something I'd not have thought of. That's the great detective work part.

Pretty sure there was an Amiga version of that program way back in my early Amiga days but I never looked into it for PC when I jumped ship. Ah the memories.

RE total commander; I use it for backups, great program. I only need to find something to find empty folders for deletion, as total commander leaves them after synching.

Yes, inn my old files there is commas instead of periods as decimal separators. But it has to do with Win 97 and Language format settings. After I replaced comma with period in Win 97 settings manually (but keeping norwegian as my Language Format) my Terragen files are now finally normal. Strange problem and just amazing that I with the help of people (Oshyan, Kadri, Dune) here and some luck finally found a solution :D
