MrWally Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Anyone here have any good terragen pics to share? These are just a few of them. The rest can be seen here
PoM Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Did you make those? I really suck more than i thougt i did. How do you make stuff so pointy? Everything i make turns out to be round and ugly. Edit: And welcome to lucasforums!
MrWally Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Haha I feel welcomed Yes I did make them. It takes a lot of practice and just fooling around basically.
RoxStar Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 A picture thread is specifically a thread devoted to actual pictures of people normally. Welcome anyway Nice pics. only love david

RoxStar Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 That'll feeling should fade... after you get *pantsed*
IG-64 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Those are pretty good. I can think of one person around here who can use terragen good, and that's GothiX. He hasn't been on in a few days though.
MarcusLeCoy Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I actually never heard of Terragen, I'll have to check it out
MrWally Posted October 24, 2005 Author Posted October 24, 2005 You definately should It's hard and kinda confusing at first, but once you get used to it just let your imagination carry you. And there are probably tutorials somewhere online, but I dunno.
Lady Jedi Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Yeah, Gothix is incredible with digital art. Absolutely everyone should check out his DeviantArt page here. He rocks. And there's been some crap with his old member name so his stuff's been moved to his new one. Check it out. As for you, MrWally: Nice Terragen, and welcome to the boards. Have a good time and don't act like a newb, for you will suffer the consequenses. I don't do any Terragen and the like but I do very much enjoy my digital camera.
PoM Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Yay! I managed to make something-not-so-crappy-but-still-bad! I call it... ... The picture!
Sabretooth Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I'm a beginner. I lost a lot of good images I had made in a recent format. This was one that I had on a CD I wrote.
StormHammer Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Is Terragen just a terrain generator, or can you place other objects in the scenes? I mean, while some of those pics look nice, they're mostly very similar and a tad boring because there is no key focus for the attention. At least with something like Bryce, for example, you could make some terrain and place other objects in the scene to give it more interest.
MrWally Posted October 25, 2005 Author Posted October 25, 2005 It basically generates it but the tricky part is getting a unique feel to it. You create a terrain map, a cloud layer, the atmosphere light, the atmosphere effects and a water layer and baiscally just fool around with it. Personally I have a thing for sunsets and I try to make everyone of my pictures using unique colors and angles. This probably comes from constant rubbing off from my father, who's a photographer. Oh, and I've only been doing terragen for a couple of months. Lol... 3rd time i've edited this post.... I checked out Gothix site and I noticed he uses World Machine as well as terragen. And he uses photoshop 7. I personally use pure terragen, but i'll be sure to check those out!
lukeskywalker1 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I've made a lot of em actually... my web is sorta slow (dial up) and its been raining, for some reason its even slower than usual... They make good skyboxes for video games
MarcusLeCoy Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 D= I am confused as hell with this thing..
MrWally Posted October 25, 2005 Author Posted October 25, 2005 Does that mean you actually downloaded it MarcusLeCoy? First off you might want to look for a tutorial online, or mess with presets, but DON'T GIVE UP. Personally I just fooled around for like a week and eventually got the hang of it, so you don't need a tutorial.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 They can, however, be very helpful. When I took my one-year High School Photoshop course in Houston, it was all tutorials, with hand-holding from the teacher. I still learned Photoshop quite well (although most is temporarily forgotten now as I don't have Photoshop at home). The problem with tutorials, though, is that they are very linear and not at all open-ended. So I advice you follow some tutorials and spend the rest of the time experimenting and exploring.

Haha, yes, I completely agree in the case of photoshop, which is much more confusing than terragen (My family owns everysingle version from PS2). I tried out that World Machine and it's pretty cool, but kinda confusing. If anyone here knows how to use it wanna give some pointers?
lukeskywalker1 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 http://map-review.com/index.php?page=tutorial_view&id=2 Here... a tutorial... it teaches you how to make skyboxes for JKA/JK2... but don't worry about that, it mainly focuses on the program. Just skip the stuff thats for JKA. Also, you don't have to take 6 renders, thats only if your making a skybox... just read over the settings and play with the program. EDIT: This tutorial isn't what you described above. Wedge just teaches you about the settings, tells what they are for and what can be done with them... other than that you do what you want to do.
MrWally Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Maybe it's just me... but the picture that he uses in his example (on the tutorial) looks kinda odd.... I mean the tutorial is really helpful but the grass and pretty much all the color is WAY to bright and over-saturated.
manoman81 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah, I think the grass is a bit much. But I also think the sky color makes it look even more....green. And not pretty... It's been a while for terragen. It's a great program to mess with. I just came across this site for tutorials. Some seem pretty cool. http://www.basinski-net.de/tutorials/tutorials.htm
lukeskywalker1 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah... well.. whatever. Its not about his picture, its about his tutorial. Like I said, it gets the job done. Besides, if thats how you want it to look then its cool. I made the sky really weird colors before for an "alien planet"
