Hello, I'm new to the forum. actually, I'm really new to Terragen as well. It was recommended by a friend, and I've had some fun going through neuspadrins tuts, and making a benmcduff mountain, but i could use a little more help. im trying to make a landmass for a group of countries in a world I'm making. I haven't decided yet whether or not it will be pen and paper, or just a story, but I wanted to create the land using Terragen. I guess, to start I was wondering how to control the terrain power fractals. I want to have more of a molded approach than to have most of it done by random seeds. for example, when i opened a new project, and created a power fractal in the terrain tab, I used a paint shader. it made a canyon, but i couldn't figure out how to make it a range.. another problem was that when I made a lake object it covered the world. Is there a way to create a body of water within a set area? i tried a paint shader there as well, and it didn't turn out so well.
lastly, can I find an index for the terminology? I know what a fractal is, but the rest is guesswork. thanks for any help!
