Hi everybody,
I am new to Terragen and was wondering if it is possible to create a landscape with it that looks like the one you can see in the intro of Disney pictures.
If you dont know which I mean you can see the intro here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-taDP0Bobx0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-taDP0Bobx0)
If it is possible can someone help me to create a landscape that looks almost similar (river, hills, mountains, ocean)?
Thx

Are you using the free version or the pre purchase beta version? That should help us figure out what features are best for you to use. Not too difficult, personally I'd use more than one power fractal and probably a high late deposition alpine fractal as well because you have a couple of sharper peaks on huge rolling hills in the first part but after the castle you have a large area of flat terrain. As far as the river goes, let us know what version you're using and we can help from there. Didn't see an ocean though.
If you have the model for the castle we could recreate the whole scene (without the fireworks though).
It's a bit dark, so I couldn't see all the details, but a simple powerfractal terrain (not too much displacement and not to large features), with a painted and displaced river and a water plane, and a simple population should do the trick. Tune down the sun strength, add some standard low 3d cumulus clouds, and pull back the camera over 150 frames.
Setting that up might take half an hour (perhaps 2 hours with heavy tweaking the details), and rendering time would depend on the system and resolution. I'd say a week for the entire animation on a regular home system at 720 x 480.
Hi,
thx for your replies.
My first tries I started with the 0.9 Version of the "old" Terragen. But I couldnt create a landscape I was satisfied with. Now I will try it with the free version of Terragen 2.
Right now I am going through some tutorials to find more about the functions in Terragen 2.
And then I will try to reproduce your tips and to create the landscape.
Thx so far.

Hi again,
after several tryouts with TG2 techpreview I cant handle it to generate a satisfying heightfield. Whenever I try to generate smething that looks good it results in a crash of the program.
Can someone of you create a heightfield for me please? That would be very nice.
Greetings
