Hi Guys.
A few of you might remember me as Wetbanana from the Terragen 2 days.
Over the past few years I have been Very busy with my job as a Web Developer so I have had very little time for anything Terragen.
Recently in my free time I have been working on a Solar System Website where kids and adults alike can learn about our Solar System in an interactive way.
You can view the website here
(Please note this is still unfinished so expect broken links and a few quirks here and there)
http://thesolar.systems (http://thesolar.systems)
This has given me a perfect opportunity to get back into some Terragen goodness! I am planning on doing 3+ renderings for each Planet and Moon and eventually integrating some spherical scenes that you can use a VR headset to view.
My end vision is to have all major objects in our Solar System listed. I am currently pulling the text from Wikipedia articles. I would love to have original text written for each page but I suck at writing.
I want the website to be very accessible with translations into as many languages as possible. I am also spending a lot of time making it easy for screen readers to access the website for the visually & physically impaired. and optimising the site for Mobile & Tablet as much as I can.
Would love to hear you feedback on the website! Artworks for Mercury, Venus & Mars are mostly complete which you can view on the website :)
Very nice. Easy to follow and the text, though it's a bit 'dry', that doesn't hurt this type of thing. I notice your Saturn has no ring...there is one here called Saturn.tgd I think. A search should find it. And doesn't Uranus also have a ring, but polar not equatorial?Again, good work...
Nice idea and so far the execution is looking good. If you haven't done so already I would just make clear that the images (the TG ones) are "artist's renditions" or something similar, i.e. not to be confused with NASA, etc. imagery. :D
Also, nice to see you around here again! :)

Yeah, welcome back and you did a great job on your site. Very slick and sophisticated.
Thanks guys! I Will keep this thread updated when I get time to do some more rendering :)
