Title: Obvious things that you realised about terragen
Post by: freelancah on October 22, 2009, 10:57:52 PM
I figured I'd start this thread so people dont miss the basic things they should know about terragen.

For example I just realised that alt+LMB allows you to rotate around your current pickpoint, MMB to zoom and RMB to strafe. I know these are common features in all 3d packages but I somehow managed to miss them in Terragen..


Feel free to post anything that comes in to your mind

You might want to fully review Part 1 of the User Guide. It covers camera controls, including what you just mentioned.

I know they are in the manual and I've read it but still missed them. That's why I kinda started this thread

Well, I didn't know you can grab the render screen (when doing a large cropped render), and move it to find your little crop in the blackness. Just found out by coincidence. Always used the handles, which is more cumbersome.

Has anyone found the instant photo-real scene button yet?
