is rendering slow as in terragen classic?

[jahnu13]

@NexusCool1 Terragen Classic isn't too slow ...

It is considerably slower than Terragen Classic, but also considerably more powerful - and in most cases more realistic than Classic.You can wait several hours - sometimes over 12 - to get your result. But it is usually worth the time, if you do your stuff right.

too complicated for me :I

[jahnu13]

@KseniyaRuss That's too bad. Maybe if you actually go into Terragen you'll get the hang of it. It's a pretty simple program if you don't want to do too complicated things.

are those trees free? or i have to buy it like everything else

[jahnu13]

@meatpuppet76 Yeah, they're free. Check out Planetside's home page and head over to the Terragen 2 download page. You should find something useful there, I hope.

@thepivotmaster36 - maybe, but TerraGen also supports the Mac. (Granted, I do 3D rendering exclusively on a dedicated Windows box, but I use Macs and some Mac users will prefer having native OS X support.)

[jahnu13]

@thepivotmaster36 Maybe so. Everyone has their own opinion.

@AroreForLife Yes, there is a lot in Terragen 2 Basics I didn't cover here.

@jahnu13 On day one i figured out how to make snow using shaders. Yes it is advanced, but it should be a bit more important with the basics.
