Made with Thinstall 3.349 on a clean virtual PC (WinXPPro_sp3) and then tested on a seperate clean virtual PC (WinXPPro_sp3)
License file was included in the build so fully registered.
Terragen 2 (TG2) is now the primary development focus of Planetside Software. TG2 is a complete rewrite of Terragen from scratch, and is a significant advance beyond the capabilities of Terragen v0.9. Apart from being a much more powerful renderer, TG2 has a much more flexible architecture which will allow development to proceed at a considerably greater pace.
Terragen 2 features an advanced hybrid micropolygon renderer with powerful multi-angle displacement capabilities. It has a versatile procedural engine that can be utilised to apply subpixel-level detail to almost any aspect of a scene. Terragen 2 is capable of rendering billions of polygons in a single scene.
Core Features
* Cutting-edge adaptive subdivision renderer.
* Modular, plugin-based architecture.
* Render entire planets, sweeping vistas, tiny rock gardens, or anything in between.
* Import 3D objects for rendering. Export high resolution objects.
* Render millions of boulders or trees using “instancing”.
* Add multiple heightfields to your scene. Use procedural terrains that can span an entire planet.
* Apply almost “infinite” fractal detail to terrain and other objects.
* Overhanging terrain using procedural displacements, image-based displacements, or imported geometry.
* Volumetric clouds or fast “2.5D” clouds.
* Production quality anti-aliasing and motion blur.
* Node graph editor for ultimate control over shaders and textures.
