 GIS Data primer by Ryan Archer
-One of the greatest benefits of Terragen 2 is that you can quickly and easily import and use real world data and information in any of your renders. There is a great deal of data available for free download on the internet, but it can be fairly confusing to both find what you need and then figure out what it is you have. I will try and make sense of a few basic ideas and you can take it from there. Some knowledge about geographic information systems would be of benefit, but should not be totally necessary.

−	Through two animations / videos, this tutorial explains and visualizes how intersection shift and intersection zone works in the "intersect underlying" feature of the surface layer. The tutorial focuses on the "displacement intersection" algorithm. This is particularly useful e.g. in creating convincing snow, that should cover up smaller terrain features.

 Cover slightly more advanced topics, but still skirt around more advanced things such as lots of node network view usage and much math, etc.  Made to be understood by those with a firm knowledge of the basics.
