Rendering performance has also been improved due to “lots of incremental changes” to the code, although Planetside doesn’t put a figure on the speed boost. Other changes include support for a true sRGB transform as well as the previous pure gamma approximation when rendering for sRGB displays, available via the Tonemap tab in the Render Settings. Improvements to rendering quality and performance There are also “slight improvements” to multiple scattering in Easy Cloud and Cloud Layer V3, and the 3D Preview should generate previews of clouds faster due to better level of detail calculations for voxel buffers. OpenVDB export will also be available in the macOS build of Terragen 4.6 once it is released. The OpenVDB format can be used to export volumetric clouds from Terragen’s Cloud Layer V2, Cloud Layer V3 and Easy Cloud layers to other DCC applications for rendering: the video above shows export to Blender. vdb files without having to use the command line, since OpenVDB export was previously only available in GUI-less Linux render nodes. The main change in Terragen 4.6 is that OpenVDB export is now available in the Windows edition. Users of the Professional edition of the software also get an experimental new RPC system for developing integrations with other tools in visual effects pipelines.Īt the time of writing, the Terragen website has not been updated with details of the release, and there is no official online changelog, but it has been announced in Planetside’s newsletter.Įxport clouds to other DCC applications in OpenVDB format The release – the first major update to Terragen in almost two years – makes it possible to export clouds to other DCC applications in OpenVDB format, and improves rendering performance and FBX import. Planetside Software has released Terragen 4.6, the latest version of its landscape-generation software.
