Hello.
Well, since I started to evaluate Terragen again a few weeks back, little things came forth in the way I`d like Terragen to behave.
I hope I did not overlook anything I am describing here. Forgive my ignorance, if I did.
But that would be also due to the scattered information about Terragen all over the place, I guess.
I really did search a lot. So, here it goes:
01 - Are there any preference files stored somewhere for settings, filepaths etc which are not obvious to the user?
02 - Are there registry keys a user could change?
03 - Is the "Edit / Preferences..." dialog the only way for the user to alter preferences?
04 - There is a keyboard shortcut for "Project / Render Current Render Node" (Crtl+R).
Is it possible to change it to a 1-finger shortcut (like the F9 in LightWave to render a frame immideately)?
I know F3 followed by Alt-R too, but that is also two stops.
05 - Would it be possible to show the name of the Render Node or Currently Used Camera in the render view header?
That would make it easier to keep control over which settings are used presently.
I use quite a few different cameras and render settings while working on scenes.
06 - Would it be possible to put the "GI Settings..." on the Render Quality Property page to its own tab?
07 - It would be nice if, when an object is selected in the "Objects"- list top left in the interface, the object is selected in the 3D viewer to be able to move rotate scale. There is of course the right click mouse button menu in the viewport but that is also another step / click away.
Could be managed with a preference setting as well.
08 - When I set "Change object display mode" to "Show as textured" I wonder what I should see in the viewport?
Sometimes image maps are being drawn, or procedural stuff from the blue nodes and sometimes I do not see any of those.
I do not use hi-res image maps atm. 1024x1024 pixel resolution at most.
Is there a cache setting I am missing or is it my Display Adapter (Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 / Win7Pro x64)?
Surely, some more to come. Thanks for your consideration.
cheers, Klaus
