Function Node General Discussion / Hey there, mate, read this epi...

Hey there, buddy, I literally just stumbled upon something weirdly brilliant, I had to drop my sandwich and tell you.
 
This masterwork is not your usual stuff. It's packed with wild visuals, creative magic, and just the right amount of interface wizardry.
 
Still don't believe me? Alright, go look right on this link!
 
You're still here? Fine. Imagine a caffeinated unicorn coded a site after arguing with ChatGPT. That's the energy this content gives.
 
So hit it, and send it to your friends. Because real talk, this is pure genius.
 
That's it.

Terragen Animation / F-16 flying over mountains

Last post by Luc - May 24, 2026, 02:24:01 AM

Hi,

I made a short cinematic 3D animation of an F-16 flying over mountains and through the clouds, fully rendered in Terragen

This was also a personal test to see if I could create something more dynamic than my usual static pictures while learning the balance between scene population, render compromises, and keeping render times within a reasonable lifetime for a few seconds of animation

You can save a rendered image as a multi-layered EXR file which can contain the elements selected with the Render Layers feature.  

You can render a black background by disabling the Render's Atmo/Cloud Visible checkbox, or even by unchecking the Render Atmosphere checkbox under the Planet.

I'll try and dig out more examples of this tomorrow, but in the meantime here are some links and examples that may be helpful:
