Thanks Kevin. I tried that. I can add them to clip files, but it doesn't save them if I add them to tgo objects?
Are you able to add them to objects?
Thanks.

You can add tags to items in the library by selecting an item and adding a tag description via the Metadata tab > Tags field. Tags are saved instantly and automatically. You can then search by tags by clicking on the small magnifier icon near the bottom of the window and selecting "Search by Tags".

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Terragen, but I can't seem to figure out how to add tags to objects in the library.
Once I've added the object, if I try to write the tag in after, it doesn't seem to save it and I don't know how to save it?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
Rob.

I have added the sphare configuration to my file. I think it's a good idea to use sphare instead of lake.
The rendering time is shorter, but the result is not as good.

Thank you for posting your setup. I wonder about the render time with such a mix of water shaders. I think you can do with less shaders altogether, and populate straight onto the water (don't use the lake for that, but a sphere same size as planet, or a plane). Check this very basic setup out.
Still, your skill is obvious!

Yes a great render of muddy, swampy, stale water!
Realy EXCELLENT colors !!!
Can you post the material for a more detailed and closer examination?

Very nice, the swamp water is very realistic, I really like it!

Thank you for the positive feedback, I appreciate it. Six water shaders are used, separated by mask shaders.
The small plants on the water sit on an invisible rock.

Awesome! I like the detail you put into this. I guess you masked part of the water (procedurally), raised it subtly, colored it and used the same mask to grow tiny grasses on the water object? It's good to see something really worthwhile on this forum again.
