Really? You know, Terragen doesn't support vegetation yet. Most of the pics I saw on webshots had vegetation (trees, grass, etc.). Can you post a link to the specific part of the site where you found the Terragen pics?

Sure! I used their search feature, inputting "Terragen," and found this: (url="http://"http://webshots.com/search/search.fcgi?words=terragen&I1.x;=36&I1.y;=19")http://webshots.com/...I1.x=36&I1.y=19(/url)
According to the search, I found 278 pics! I dunno how many people created them, but that would be a good starting point. So far, of the ones in the search, I've found a couple of creators: (url="http://"http://community.webshots.com/user/krille_lopez1")LINK(/url) and
(url="http://"http://community.webshots.com/user/kyleodin")LINK2(/url) . I'll post more as I come to them.
BTW: Did y'all learn to use Terragen by the tutorials? Or did you just "muddle along?"

No tutorials for me! I just fiddled around with it. The interface is easy to figure out.

I dunno if you d/l'ed any of the plugins/utilities..., but there's a resource list on the Terragen webpage: (url="http://"http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/resources.shtml")LINK(/url). There's something there for vegetation (importing from another program, or painting it). Also, there's a Yahoo group for Terragen users. A few more links you might find useful:

Has anyone tried Carol Brooksbank's tutorials? I'm stuck on page number one: Making a Start. I've clicked on "Generate Terrain," then in the box, clicked on "Generate Terrain." I've done this many times, yet I get no areas of water, like the tut says I should. I haven't changed anything, I'm following the tut to the letter. Can anyone help?

Say, Jules (or anyone else that has lunar cell or any other software or experience at making high-quality planet graphics), would you be willing to make about 30-40 planet/moon picts for me of varying types? Email me if you're interested (anyone), and I'll tell you what I need. I don't need landing picts, I just need the planets-in-a-system graphics for my TC. Any interested artists should email me and we can work out the details.

Edit: I already have enough people, so I probably won't consider any new applicants.

CRAP! Those pics are good! I should download it. I'm making a hyperioid plugin. COuld someone make and post some landingpics that might go with hyperioids? Maybe a few yellowish, one purple haze maybe, some like that one with the bliss affect? Thanks!

Pretty nice...

Only one complaint -- if the sun was dying, wouldn't it turn red? Or has it already done that and it's turning into a white dwarf?

The first pic shows the planet as it was when first colonized, the sun in that pic is for all the people can tell is just fine, the second pic is where the sun is outputting less heat and is just starting to die. The thrid pic the sun has gotten even worse and the planet is becoming uninhabitable. Notice in the thrid pic all the redish tint, that isn't the terrian getting red its red light coming from the sun.

You can use if for as long as you want unregistered, but arent allowed to use it commercially. Also you dont get the full range of features (some things are disabled). The full registered version is Ł55 or $70/79. Thats how it is for the PC, and I assume it will be the same for mac.

Actually, I'd be hard pressed to buy a modelling program for less than $100, so $70 is a good price. Now that I'm home for the summer, I finally downloaded Terragen, and it is indeed very nice. I might post a pic when I become a bit more skilled. Does anyone know how to make multiple suns, or if this is even possible? It's vital for a specific shot I have in mind...

I posted your question on the Terragen group bbs, CB, here's the start of the discussion:
(url="http://"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/terragen/message/54180")http://groups.yahoo....n/message/54180(/url) From what I gather, there's no way to do multiple suns in Terragen, but you can do separate images (with the sun in a different position each time) and post-process it in a program like Paint Shop Pro (what I use) and combine them into one image. Hope it helps.
