Description
A new Terragen 2 Alpha image, this time showing the possibility of true 3D waves, the greater realism and flexibility of the water shapes, and of course the always lovely volumetric clouds.Slight post contrast adjustment and a subtle "glow" filter were applied. No downsampling.

Why didn't I ever see this pic before now? It's just.....amazing
I think every TG2 image I've seen so far has only made me appreciate Terragen more. I just hope to God that they don't fucking delay the release of TG2 again like they've done twice before
Oh well, guess it'll come out when it comes out

aww...wish I could be a beta tester on that...congrats on bein able to play with it
I say for just messin around you did a good job at givin everyone an idea on how cool it'll be to mess round with the water setting now
and th clouds do look great(themselves, bein volumetric I mean)
Gonna try to buy it as soon as it comes out(I guess people that bought the first get a discount of some kind from what I heard)

Thanks for the crits tefaeri, for the most part I agree. The wave shapes are difficult to get perfect because they're procedural. I could get into custom drawing some masks and whatnot, but it's a bit excessive IMO at this point. I could certainly refine the wave shape shader though.
Regarding clouds, I think the shapes, distribution, etc. are actually fairly realistic, although again I agree some more locational variation would be nice. Not too hard to accomplish, just didn't bother. I wanted to keep this one simple and get it out there.
Thanks again for the comments!

Some of the waves should be breaking, they're a bit too large for normal waves in some spots and a bit too small to stay that sharp, large waves far out are either smooth curves or they break after they get so tall...
They are also a bit too sharp, it looks like you could cut yourself by reaching into the water.
The new look to the clouds is cool but they're a bit too generically puffy, nothing goes above a certain height and even for generic clouds they're a little small and definately definately too thin.

whatever, i think its awesome i couldn't do that

it says ALPHA. in software terms that what they have now is just a slightly recognizable version of what they intend to actually release when the program reaches final.
hence you migh get stuff that does'nt look right
