Terragen 2 Tutorial - Adding Stars

[Rissien]

Forgot how to add the stars so rewatched this and noticed the CLANNAD files. Epic right there, ive been in a big CLANNAD phase for a few weeks now.

Hey, thanks for the tutorial, shame mine did not look like yours, and I re-did it twice... :(

[6547bilberry]

Awesome! Thanks very much!!!

[lifewave721]

nice tutorial however, the background wouldn't render until I figured out that on the default shader images tab You have to set it to render through the camera for the background image.

Nice one matey......I ernjoyed your TUTORIAL and i learned something new.....well a few things to be honest....

Great stuff and keep em coming..

[Drushadaar]

This was good one, thanks for tutorial!

[PredatorYT]

cool tut, it worked. But I got triangle shaped stars... (yes, the pictures are jpg). Does this go away with better render settings (because at the moment I do quick renders with low settings to evaluate the terrain)?

[MetallicPoison]

@PredatorYT Yes, they will. They are kept a triangles due to low render settings or 'quick rendering.' It helps render them faster.

[piotrmil]

are you still going to make those tutorials?

[dcallstar51]

You sound like someone I know..

[MrBellker]

Hey, first of all thanks for the vid, it is really helpful. I'd like to ask u if you know how to put in my landscapes vegetation. Do I have to download it, to buy? What do I have to do to put trees and everything in my pic? =]

[MetallicPoison]

@MrBellker I'll message you the details ^^

Everything works until I try using the galaxy_starfield image. In the little preview window it's kinda inverted, white background with black stars, and when I render the whole thing, I also get black stars.. Any help?

[MetallicPoison]

@Hamppzah Ah, yes, I've encountered this problem. Change the picture's format to .jpg

It should work then.

I should have put that in the video too lol But it was all improv xD;

[Hamppzah]

@MetallicPoison Yeah, I forgot to add that i DID have it as .jpg, if I didn't do it wrong, I rightclicked the image, save as, all files, galaxy.starfield.jpg. That's correct? When I check the image properties of the image it seems to be jpg. I also tried inverting the image in photoshop and add it, it looked exactly the same :p

[MetallicPoison]

@Hamppzah Well... try experimenting with different extensions? JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP All that fun stuff

[EVHisGODD93]

@Hamppzah I have the same problem with the galaxy, I get a white blackground with black stars. Anyone have any clue whats going on here?

[Chobits3799]

...o___o awesome....damn i want this program XD

[AlienMoon134]

@Chobits3799

You can download  a trial.

[MetallicPoison]

@AlienMoon134 Yes, however, it's not necessarily a 'trial', but moretheless a FREE version.

You are unable to animate (use frames and keyframes), and are unable to place more than three Population nodes.

I bet there are way more limitations, but I'm just naming these ones off the tip of my tongue.

[cvince90]

Ok, so i did the star thing with the lumionsty and diffise color, but it dosent go dark. it goes a bright white and looks really bad when i render? Help please?

[MetallicPoison]

@cvince90 Ah, that happened to me.

Try taking the starfield and changing its file extension to .jpg or .png (whichever it isn't) Then it should work.

[MetaGGorgon]

Finally a thorough tutorial on terragen 2! 5/5

[MetallicPoison]

@MetaGGorgon Ah, thank you very much. Many people have told me that it isn't good v.v But I'm happy it helped you, if it did! ^^

[melbournerocker]

I have a question.Your star-field map is not deformed when you render him ? its not converted for a spherical map.

Stars is small its look ok ,but when you want to use a big image with big galaxies on it ,i am sure that will look weird :/

[MetallicPoison]

@melbournerocker Well, this is just specs. Galaxies, I believe you need to use it with the image map shader. I have no idea how to use the image map shader though... sorry.

[jzone2006]

Nice, thanks for this. You should definitely make more tutorials.

[suzakux7]

hey lelouch, nice tutorial! ^^
