Finally after years using the program, Terragen to became a full program with new additions like 3D clouds, rocks, trees, plants, planets, and so many add ons. The one thing I found is that it was harder to operate, and the water that was once so easy to understand now...
Every once in a while I would tell Terragen to make the settings for a wide width horizontal image, and I felt that the panoramic was a pleasant change from the default size in the program.
When I first started Terragens, I got a lot of compliments from my peers on my atmospheres. I felt they were the easiest to work out in version .09. The other thing that I think they took notice of was how I angled the camera for the best composition (my...
Moving the old Terragens to this blog, I found this section called “Simplistic but Lovely Terragens” but looking at them now not sure why they were called that. Was I going for minimalism? Where some might be, not all are. However you call them, here is the next set of...
This set of Terragens from the program’s early stages (.09) were given atmospheres I felt were rather dramatic, with most of the drama in the skies, but some of the drama fell to the landscape lighting and shadows too.
Sometimes with the Terragen program, after the render, I would put the image into a graphics program and give it some post work. Sometimes the actual render had an atmosphere of something not real, something make believe, fantasy images, if you will.
Still posting old renders of Terragen from ages ago. This was when the program was in its early stages, and I found that snow scenes were often the easiest to create.
So, once upon a time I used to use a landscape creation rendering program called Terragen. In the future, if money and time allows, I’d love to try it again. It is a great community of people as well. When I used Terragen, they didn’t even have a version 1....
This selection of renders, I had the camera angle from above, different than most of my other Terragens. I was pleased with the results and a change from the norm!
Terragen is at version 4 of its program, but back in the day when I used version .9, or something like that, water and created a water’s edge was hard to do, and very hard on one’s computer. I think I was the first in my Terragen group that had...
