I decided to get the new version of Terragen and tinker around with it. The new layout is really a change in gears, there's so much I still don't understand. Some things make absolutely no sense at this point but others are starting to become clear as I delve into the program. So far the water controls are lacking but the clouds are way better. This was the focus of what I was aiming for, better cloud formations. The surface texturing is also far better, much less fiddling with goofy settings. I'd like to do further work with the program and push myself far greater than this. First serious render where I sorta understood what I was doing, next one should be a more legitimate render.
