Title: Script: tg_cubemap_cameras.py
Post by: Kevin Kipper on August 22, 2025, 12:06:12 AM
If you've ever needed to create a cubemap texture image from your Terragen 4 or Terragen Sky Early Access  project, you know the process to add six cameras and optionally a dedicated render node can take a bit of work.

We've recently covered this process in the Support Diaries: Cubemaps (https://planetside.co.uk/blog/support-diaries-cubemaps/) blog post, and we're happy to share a new Python script to help automate the cubemap setup process.

The script is included in the Redmaw TG Toolkit.  It doesn't have a User Interface, you simply select the camera in your project that you want the cubemap cameras to be based on, and then run the script.  Six new cameras will be added to the project and a dedicated render node for them.  The blog post and the script's readme file contain more information about using the script.
