Matt is there a way to make a super translate node or a similar feature to make the place where the camera is as point zero?When we are away from the default 0,0,0 place it gets difficult to handle.
In the VR challenge i made a mistake to use the second planet for plants for example and even some basic things like populating became hard to do. The plants populated inverted for example.
Even in an one planet setup when we are far away from the default zero point the camera is harder to use.
With such a feature we could make the place anywhere we are more easier to handle.
All settings would be as expected for the camera.
Or no need to use negative numbers to bring objects higher from the ground for example.
All translations could be handled inside Terragen without any visible change in the node values for the user.
You can cheat a double planet setup or similar thing of course, by just swapping the planet nodes but the problem is still there.
Don't know if this easy or hard to do, or how many users would like such a thing.
And guys even if Matt says this is not doable (looks complicated to me actually) just don't forget this :
Because you can use Terragen in a planetary scale you might be tended to use other planets for some things.
Try to stay always near point zero so much you can. Use whatever cheat you know, but stay there. You are warned
