If anybody looks for what to add to expand this stub, how about, can terragen files be used in other 3d programs?

I don't think they can be used directly. You can export them to certain image formats, and from said formats, which could be used by other programs. Hell, about a month ago I did some renders from some maps from a game that uses heightmaps. You can also export them to 3ds files, but I think you need a certain plugin.--Drat (Talk) 11:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Good news then. :) I can imagine combining two different programs with two different rendering programs would be difficult, but hell, it's worth a try. Thanks a lot.

Wish they'd hurry up with the new tech demo... been dying to get my hands on it. All we gte is vague dates and push backs :( Hopefully this doesn't go the way of Duke Nukem Forever!

Yea me to=)

[edit] Renderings in article -- reg'd or not?

Are the renderings in the article done with or without the registration fee for this tool? Cordially, Drieux 20:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Does it matter? The only difference should be output resolution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.241.144 (talk) 03:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separate article for Terragen 2?

I just created the Terragen 2 article as a redirect to this article (I figured that was more useful than leaving it completely nonexistent). However, given that Terragen 2 seems to be the most prominent incarnation of the program at this point in time, I'm wondering if it wouldn't ultimately make more sense to give it its own article and save this article for Terragen 0.9 (the original program). However I don't know precisely what Wikipedia's policies are on splitting articles, so does anyone know any reasons why this split would or wouldn't be disallowed, or have any thoughts on whether or not Terragen 2 deserves its own article? - green_meklar 21:00, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it should be split at least until Terragen 2 is released as anything other than a "technology preview". Normally only major software has separate articles for each version. Halsteadk (talk) 21:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
