Hmm I tried this with a flat terrain and jsut water and I followed the tutorial exactly and all I got was an extremely bright sky and almost everything is white. This is a good tutorial though, I am gonna keep working on it. If you know how this can be fixed that would be great.

VERY good tutorial
i'd like to benefit from this chance to ask you: can you make multiple layers of clouds using terragen? the button is always disabled!

LightDrop In reply to nicocohayek [2006-06-28 23:20:03 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately not. The button is there, cause it was planned for a future version, but now it seems that TG2 is out more early

Obrigado amigo por disponibilizar o tuturial. Algumas pessoas podem critica-lo, mas esquecem que um dia tambem precisaram de um, pois na verdade, ninguem nasceu sabendo. Sao atitudes como a sua que fazem com que a arte seja uma atitude humana, independende de como ela seja feita. Pode-se usar o lapis ou o computador, mas o sentimento humano estara sempre presente e sempre sera possivel senti-lo. Um forte abraço.

Thank for disponibilizar the tuturial. Some people can criticize it, but they forget that one day they tambem had needed one, therefore in the truth, ninguem was born knowing. Sao attitudes as its that make with that the art either an attitude human being, independende of as it is made. She can yourself be used the pen or the computer, but the human feeling estara present and sera possivel always always feeling. Nice to meet you friend.
Excuse language, therefore I translated my words in babelfish translating, therefore nao I say English - alive in the Brazil, and here Portuguese spoke, ok.

yeah, I'll have to try it out sometime, cheers! anyway, any water effects will do for me!! For some reason, I just can't seem to do them

I've only really tried out Terrogen once, and I couldn't figure out how to do all these sweet effects that I've seen everyone else do! All I can do are these really blocky-looking landscapes

Wow you did really good on your picture!! What you can do if it doesn't come out all that bright is go into Photoshop and go to > image > Adjustments > Check out all 3 AUTO SETTINGS ( I always do it and then undo and I do all three to see what looks good) or in adjustments > Variations > and see what that does for you!!

THanks for the comment on my main page I really appreciate it!!

Blessings Jeff

Savedbygrace In reply to Darklands [2005-03-30 07:19:42 +0000 UTC]

sure whats up? If you follow it exactly it should work other than you will have to move the sun up or down or to different postions But let me know what you need

Darklands In reply to Savedbygrace [2005-03-30 07:53:32 +0000 UTC]

That's what my problem is: I move sun, but nothing happens...later on today, I'll be practicing a bit more...
Thank you anyway...

Savedbygrace In reply to Tyranic-Moron [2005-03-08 23:16:40 +0000 UTC]

If you follow it exactly you should have sunrays! I have done it over and over again with the tutorial and everytime it works, the only thing I have to figure out myself is where to move the sun and have it come through the clouds to cause the rays!

Tyranic-Moron In reply to Savedbygrace [2005-03-09 16:31:57 +0000 UTC]

oh, ok, I got it working now! but then my PC crashed... anyway, I'll try it again when I have the time (damn coursework)

Hi there This tut was very helpful, even though I cudnt get the rays by folowing it exacly as it says... I really dont know why But I think that I kinda understand how it works with the sun strenght and clouds... So after some time and lot of experienced this is what i got --> [link]

Any tips would be pretty much appreciated and thank you very much for the tut, I always wanted to know how to make these

I can't thank you enough. I've tried countless times to get light rays to work and never could figure them out. This has definately rekindled my love for terragen at a time when I need new motivation towards my art.

zebravissimo [2005-01-31 22:15:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry... it isn't working for me. The sky is just white and glaring The sun is definately too powerful. Why isn't it working?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Savedbygrace In reply to zebravissimo [2005-02-01 01:15:45 +0000 UTC]

Try to position the Sun behind clouds and make sure the sky and Altitude are both 10000. It should work! I usually have to mess with the clouds and or move the sun around!
