Hi Everybody,
My very first animation ever with TG2 :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWBwc4PX2lE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWBwc4PX2lE)
It's a bit fast, I know, a bit like an explosion ;D
Cheers,
Martin
Hmmm...I noticed the playback is a bit bumpy...shall post the original on ashundar terragen.org :) as well (320x480 res)
Link will follow here:

Thanks Jason :) as you can see I've uploaded the original video at ashundar, enjoy!

I watched it on YouTube. Very nice. It would look great for steam locomotives, though it may be hard to do the physics correctly in T2.
The playback was not jerky, but it was not smooth. It could be the quickness that the clouds 'boil' at.

Thank you Henry!
Would you mind comparing the playback with the original on your pc? I think it has to do with youtube as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hah! That's so cool - great job :)
Great, really cool :)
What parameters did you alter to get "Boiling"?
:)
Richard
No problem Martin. I'll post here when I have looked at it.
Thanks Eoin and Richard :)
Richard, I animated the following parameters:
increasing edge sharpness(1)
increasing density(1)
increasing coverage adjust in cloudfractal(2)
decreasing color-adjust gamma of cloudfractal(2)
increasing mixing of a second fractal(3)
a translate function for moving the cloud(4)
1 = to "harden" the clouds
2 = to boil up / grow the clouds
3 = extra detai
4 = without this it would look too static
Pretty much for a first anim, but I thought "if I'm going to do it, I have to do it "the right way"...as far as I'm able to".
This is really fun to do :)
Cheers,
Martin
Could be used for an eruption too I think :)
...and now for a planetwide animation of the trade winds! ;D
Looks like a time lapse . Nice :)

Thanks Kadri :)
That's exactly as it is meant, otherwise it would be a bit boring ;) unless you make it span for an hour, which would be rather difficult to render ;D
Very nice job, Martin!

I don't trust you on this guys...you are mostly insane ;D
Kadri.
Beside it being a little fast, it looks really nice. Good to see some animations with Terragen 2 :)

I played the anim using Windows Media Player. YouTube's version is a little jerky. It played just fine, even at slower speeds. It would be better if it was longer (of course everyone says that). The only reason it needs to be longer is the transition upwards as the clouds build. The new 'boils' seem to just appear. When you are ready to use this in the next full landscape render/anim I would add 450 more frames.
I am really impressed. Very nice work.
Whoa! Those clouds are fantasmic! Cool ani, too.
