Title: Coordinates explaination ? (comparison to TG old)
Post by: kasalin on May 01, 2010, 04:42:27 PM
there exists an explanation of Oshyan where he explains the difference TG to TG2 camera POV settings...I've studied that tutorial very carefully...

but there isn't explained what the Z coordinate means in TG 2 !!! does Z correspond to  Y in Terragen old ??

is it possible to write here a list with all the coordinates and explanations,   I read also that there exist also coordinates of the whole planet !!!

I would like to have the list like that:

X = right/or left (like in TG old)   ???

Y =  ........

Z = .........

and I would like to know in the menue which field is which coordinate

in the menue camera I know already what rotation coordinates correspond to pitch, head and bank (in this sequence) of TG old !!!




thanks in advance

The main difference is that in Terragen Classic Z is "up" and in Terragen 2 Y is "up". So Z and Y are swapped, basically. X and Z are horizontal, Y is vertical.

Ah, so everything is clear.... Y and Z are swapped !!! O.K.

And from the link of choronr I understood that you only have to put the camera correctly (corrigate ? the camera) if you use the same terrain of TG old in TG 2.
You don't need to change the heigth, only the position of the camera is relevant !!! You'll have to copy your position in the camera (left button !!).

O.K.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Bob and you all here !!!
