Hi again,
I felt these were two separate subject, and so I wrote two separate posts...
I'm a user of Terragen since years, and when Terragen 2 was released, I tried it... But got lost in confusion because it was very much different than the Terragen I was used to.
I must say I never encountered a problem with Terragen 1 during my renderings. It was always neat.
Now, I finally decided I had to learn Terragen 2, and it definitely rocks... But I have weird renderings problems.
The very first image I rendered was perfect. It was an example file... Just wanted to see a render on my screen.
Then, I started to play around, and to search for some tutorials explaining me how it all works... And I'm starting to be confident in the use... So I decided to follow a "Cloud" tutorial I found somewhere on the net. It was really nice, and I was happy with my settings, so I hit the render button.
It took 3 hours 42 minutes to complete. And the result was awfull... Big black dots everywhere on the rendered image. I was so angry I even didn't saved the file nor the image. So I can't show it to you.
This morning, I started a second image... Just to toy with Terragen 2. Just to see what I could try to accomplish. I hit the render again. It took 33 minutes and I was almost happy with the image... But when I took more attention to it, it seems there are black lines on the picture... Not very neat... Here is the result of that image... :
You can see the black lines on the left hand side, over the green mountain.
Do you have any idea why it renders like this ? When I go to renderosity, their image are so neat, with no problem at all like I encounter. So I guess I'm doing something wrong... Any idea what do I do wrong ?
