Matt Fairclough is working on a new version of Terragen, the 3D landscape rendering program. Terragen 2 is a complete rewrite of Terragen and will sport features such as an adaptive subdivision renderer, production quality anti-aliasing and motion blur, the ability to apply almost “infinite” fractal detail to terrain and other objects, a choice between volumetric clouds or fast “2.5D” clouds, etc. A commercial version of Terragen 2 is expected to be released by mid-2005. Check out Terragen’s website for more information and some impressive sample pictures.
