Thanks for pointing that out, I actually wasn't sure whether to add more blur to the cloud to make it more wispy. What could I use to achieve this?

Great cloud scene, but I agree about the mackerel clouds being too grainy. Cloud like that can also be done with a x (or y) to scalar, a sinus, a divide by a constant, and warp, and a mask to keep it to a certain area.

It looks like a real airplane to me.
The thin line clouds look a little grainy.

"Mackerel" 4k render
This scene was rendered in Terragen 4.8 at 4K resolution. The altocumulus "mackerel" cloud uses a density shader, masked with a bitmap image I created entirely in World Machine. The airplane model was sourced from CGTrader.

Here is the results of this. I read your reply to this thread and realized I had never downloaded Vue. So I did. I opened it with the sphere, added a material and liked what i saw. That's when i asked if I convert a material to a png for use in Terragen. The answer is pretty much no. So I loaded the rock i made in some program, it has a UV map from Hexagon. I applied the material i wanted and exported it.
I loaded it into Terragen and got what i wanted. I did not know i could do that until I tried.
Thanks for the help.

I downloaded Vue, and a Vue Legacy
Master.zip.
The materials in the legacy file look like something i would like to use in Terragen.
When i load them in Terragen i get the basic texture i see in Vue.

Quote from: Doug on July 24, 2025, 06:23:16 PMSo basically I should just import my objects into Vue. Use the material files in Vue to map them and then export them out.
That should - generally speaking - work, yups.
BUT... Why would you want to export them out again?
Now, I am jumping to some conclusions here (probably false) but please bear in mind that file extensions mean absolutely crap nothing. A .MAT file from, say, Vue will not work in .. I dunno: Daz Studio?
What is it that you're really trying to accomplish here?

I will read it 42 times and see what happens.
HA, the universal answer can't go wrong there! (
loving it!).
Seriously though: don't hesitate to ask if you still have some questions. This is
not basic stuff so to speak and I definitely understand if you're still having issues. I no mind (as long as the Planetside staff also doesn't mind, but I can't help but be convinced that they don't mind as long as we keep this reasonable within this thread).
