Yes, the RPC feature can help automate certain tasks in Terragen.  

We've compiled quite a few Python scripts which can be found in the file sharing category on this forum or are included in the Redmaw TG Toolkit here: 
https://github.com/RedMawVFX/redmaw-tg-toolkit.git

There are also a number of blog posts about the RPC feature:

The quickest way to add any node to the Node Network is to press the tab key while the Node Network pane is active.  The pane is active when you see the dotted yellow line around the pane.  If it's not active just left click once in an empty space within the pane to activate it.  Clicking the tab key launches the Quick Node Palette.  You can immediately start typing the name of a node and the list of nodes will go to the closest match in the list.  Double clicking a node will add it to the Node Network.  

Also note that the node names in the screen grabbed image have been slightly changed by the user.  For example the node labeled "sineWave_finalFrequency"  is probably a "Sin Scalar" node.  If you hover over any node in the Node Network a tool tip will pop-up and show you the name and type of node.  The type of node is what is displayed in the Quick Node Palette.

Alternately, you can right click in the Node Network and find the blue function nodes under the Create Function context menu options.

Terragen Discussion / Where to find the sinewave blu...
Last post by westergard - Today at 09:45:48 AM
Hello everyone,

i am watching the terratuts tutorial on how to create alien pillars.  At exactly 1:52, he copy/pastes a bunch of blue nodes all starting with the sinewave_xyz.  I have searched this forum and found that there is a tgc file clip that creates a red sinewave node, but i can't use it the way he uses it in his tuto.  

Anyone know where i can get all these sinewave nodes with all the functions in blue (see pic).

Thanks so much for your help

And then I realized that Terragen already has something called the RPC.  8)

Thanks for your comments :)

It is internal TG (Alpine fractal) + Daniil's eroder at minimum resolution (512)

Great render, very pleasant landscape to look at. I like the details in the rubble, snow and the veggies, and the shape of the mountain. Is it from Gaea, or internal TG with Daniil's eroder?

Hi

It's been a while since I used Terragen, here's a new image.

A hypothetical view of the surface of TRAPPIST-1 c, the second planet of the TRAPPIST-1 system, 40 light-years away.
TRAPPIST-1 c is a rocky planet, slightly more massive and slightly larger than the Earth. It is very likely that it has no atmosphere, or only a very thin one. The surface temperature is probably well above 100° C (212° F). The parent star TRAPPIST-1 appears 8 times larger in the sky than the Sun of the Earth, but it is hardly brighter than the Earth's sky just after sunset. This is because the tiny and faint star TRAPPIST-1 emits hardly any light in visible wavelengths. Due to the tidal locking, the star seems to be always at the same place in the sky.
In this representation, the star is in an active phase and is bombarding the planet with additional UV, X-ray and gamma radiation.
We also see the neighboring planet TRAPPIST-1 b in the sky, which has just finished a transit. It is more than twice as large in the sky as the Moon of the Earth. Barely visible in the upper left corner of the Sun is the faint reddish light dot of TRAPPIST-1 d in the sky.
