Title: Features Integration
Post by: jaf on February 29, 2008, 04:30:57 PM
I've noticed there's quite a few techniques being developed for generating tornadoes, rainbows, etc.  Is it planned to integrate some of these techniques into the Terragen2 interface?  Like a "add rainbow" in the atmosphere tab.  I guess I mean a way to at least get started on a rainbow with lots of user options to "tune" it. 

Other things that come to mind are rain and waves.  I just curious if this is desirable or not.

Although we do have plans to incorporate additional features that may encompass things like additional weather effects, we have intentionally made TG2 as flexible as it is to allow these kinds of experiments to be created and shared. The Clip File system allows for relatively simple sharing of even complex techniques. In the future we intend to implement a "macro" system which will allow for even easier encapsulation of complex network-based effects and the ability to expose simplified controls without having to deal with the node network for a basic user. This will come after the coming "gold" release of TG2.
