New page

This tutorial will cover some very basic topics of how to do things in Terragen 2 and get you started making your first scenes. The scene I created isn't quite the best as I concentrated more on teaching techniques instead of taking the much longer time necessary to slowly tweak and get everything exactly as I would like.

If you have any questions about the tutorial feel free to contact me on the forums (neuspadrin), or if you have any questions in general feel free to post about them I'm sure someone will be able to help you quite quickly.

This tutorial will cover some basics of Terragen and the community, and a little intro into the program and ends with learning how to maneuver around the UI.
There is also now a tutorial on the support page for a first scene you can also look into.

Site run by Oshyan(JavaJones) all about Terragen, has some nice model downloads available etc.

NWDA is a group of some of the top Terragen artists that offer some very nice tech packs and models for very reasonable prices. I highly recommend purchasing a pack or two that interests you and to learn from the node structure.

Website run by Klas, he has a very decent grass model a lot of us use in renders, along with some other files and such. Site is mainly in German, but enough English for others to get what they need.
