Title: New User - what to do?
Post by: Strad on February 07, 2010, 05:16:37 PM
Hi!  Please forgive this very basic question but I figured I'd go straight to the source for answers.  I just got Terragen 2 and although I having found a few online tutorials  (which are somewhat confusing) I am having a hard time going forward with it.  Could any of you recommend a clear basic tutorial or how I can find someone who might help me get past the basics quickly.  I intend to learn to use it well since I can see a lot of application for it in the kind of graphic arts work I do.  I use it on a Mac.  Any help would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

All the best,

Endre

Hi Endre and welcome to the forum.
:)
Some of the best documentation is here  (http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?board=2.0)on the forum, take a look in the documentation section.
I think there are also tutorials and walk throughs on the NWDA  (http://www.nwdanet.com/terragen-tutorials.html)site.
Possibly the best way to learn however is by trial and error (hopefuly not too much :) ) and posting specific questions here together with files and screen shots. The language of terragen is unique and takes a while to learn but as you read the posts of other users here you'll pick it up :)
Good luck and remember, theres no such thing as a dumb question.
