It is far easier to create a Terragen camera script to match the duration of a selected piece of music. ![]() I have pre-existing music pieces instead. "Scoring" a sequence implies there's a composer available. I've realized I am totally habituated to silent CG movies with little practical experience editing video with sound. At present I'm learning multi-track audio editing, moreover video editing with audio tracks in general. It remains a good idea and done well will be a good project. I'm still working on The Terragen Animation Project, albeit any pretense of a collaborative effort is long gone. Above all three looms Pandromeda's suprisingly sales priced MojoWorld 1.2 sporting every fractal function known to mankind. In terms of fractal creation tools, Daylon Leveller retains feature parity thanks only to free 3rd party plugins. In five short months, World Machine is rapidly crowding the local competition of GeoFrac2000 and Daylon Leveller, both commercial software offerings with crippled public demos. With 0.98, World Machine enters my I Can't Believe This Program Is Still Free list. Nvidia should have a driver fix eventually. Beware all GeForce4 Ti4x00 cards, last I heard they still aren't able to run Terragen. OpenGL acceleration positively screams, even relative to the best benchmarks from a year ago. Now is a good time to buy that GeForce or ATI Radeon card you've been wanting. ![]() Best of all an incredibly detailed, real time, rotatable, zoomable, flyable OpenGL 3D preview. What's new: additional file format outputs including Daylon Leveller's native format and PNG, file input for the first time ever, enabling the editing existing terrains and image stamping using BMP, for the 256 level flat landers. World Machine 0.98 is Due Out Any Day Now. Next up one more camera rotation, moving the camera a bit, evaluating camera vs. Here is the world file and animation script if you wish to experiment further. Essentially cloud coverage is a visible mask for bliss. Bliss filaments require low contrast full density clouds to be visible although, distressingly for animation, the whole thing moves independently of clouds. The bliss "funnel" originates from the direction of the sun, dependent on the relative angle between sun and camera. From observing the clip you can deduce a few things. The movie loops indefinitely so hit the ESC key to exit.Ī level 360 degree sun rotation with stationary camera. Requires DirectX, any version, for proper playback. This is a self playing Bink movie executable, 30fps 320x240 doubled to 640x480 on your desktop. To determine Bliss's suitability for use in animation I've scheduled a few tests, er um now that we've been told how to. Tutorials exist for most of these, many are listed at Terradreams the popular German Terragen portal. New World Renderism "I'm Frank not the other Frank" has compiled a list of known Terragen "FX", including Negative Suns, The Big Red Sunset, Reverse Glow Rays, Weird Blue GlowTM and Bliss. Today in Art History: Cubism, Picasso's Blue Period and extreme Terragen tweaks. In particular, Luc Bianco has very nice results incorporating partial bliss into daylight terrain scenes. Visit the Terragen Renderosity Gallery to see the brief flurry of Bliss images for the dates 8/28 to 8/30, or search "bliss". Due to persistence, what could have been a glitch, gimmick or oddity is shaping up to be a viable alternative for attractive Terragen skies. MDB is well known for discovering rare gems from his Terragen explorations. Michiel "MDB" de Boer has written a tutorial describing his "Bliss" Terragen sky effect. Check back next rainy day for the usual sections. September marks a transition for this website into a general resource for Terragen animation. Fully half of the Terragen community is non-English, a veritable hotbed of activity and innovation, so get on surfing overseas. Fast and free, the quality of translation continues to improve. Google and AltaVista both offer free language translators as integrated browser components. ![]() This is a relatively new Terragen site, online since July, from a well known Terragen artist and is well worth your visit. The tutorial, and his website, are both in German. ![]() Some sort of web site for animating with Terragen (fancy graphic logo impending, keep your shorts on!)įlauti has a tutorial up for "Ground Shockwaves" another Terragen special effect you might have seen during the summer.
