Has anyone had a problem like this?
I was working on a T2 project, and was adding a new Surface Layer Shader and suddenly the terrain and shaders seem to vanish from the preview and the left-hand side. They seem to still exist in the Node area, but don't render.
I had saved the project just before adding the extra Shader, so in theory should have been able to just close down and re-open an un corrupted project. I restarted my PC and opened the 'clean' saved project, but it was missing the data as well.
Is this a bug or have I done something really strange?
You'll notice nothing is connected to your Planet...no Terrain.
Yes... I just discovered that. OK... steep learning curve, and I'm just starting with the nodes etc. I think I may have deleted a shader and broken the 'chain'. I panicked a bit as I thought I had lost everything!
Thanks!!
LOL I've done that...a few times. :P
Have you tried the documentation setup by Oshyan? It's a big help, since it goes over the basics quite well. And then try Volker's terrain tutorial and maybe nvseal's tutorial about creating a planet.
