I'm afraid this topic's basically been made by Snailer.

Damn, I knew it! Although, it doesn't say anything about GraphicsGale, just the tutorial that I also mentioned.
GIMP is alot better...
I love the links and time taken in this thread... I have put it up as a Sticky... Great little program, nice tutorial.
im also using graphic's gale for my spriting needs ^_^ i just switch from mspaint to this one just last week lol
i should have made something like this...oh well...this is pretty good
GG Is pretty good.........
But GIMP has more features, I think the only difference is that GIMP can't load avi files.
But it can do anything else...
But I guess GG is pretty good! ;8 I only used it once though. But good tut.
ive tried gimp b4 but my favorite program is paint.net. i think its just as good as gimp but with a simpilar layout.
im not much a fan of gg either but there still good programs
paint.net is awesome. But I like gimp more.
There's more stuff you can do with it, I like the layout in paint.net too.
But if you customize the gimp layout and shortcut keys it's very simple.
GG is quite crappy for what they give you with free and pay version...But I guess it's alright.
P.net is alot more to install with less plugins. But gimp is less top install with more plugins. Well, that's what it seems to me anyway. But p.net took a very long time to install, photo shop was faster at installing. (Same with GIMP)
:o i didnt even know you can do that in gimp. i might check that out later.
but my least favorite thing is minimizing and maximizing the windows cus you have to click each thing and it gets kinda annoying. i wish it was all in one window.
but otherwise i like gimp.
also you can get more plugins for paint.net from there website
Ahhh...Didn't know about the plugins for paint.net
Yeah, the multiple windows get annoying.
ignore the fact how long this thread is,,,
what is your favorite feature in GG?
mine is the right click it auto matically preset the color you right click for easy use ^_^

I'm pretty sure that's in every program.
But may I ask, what are the benefits of GG?
for me? well its small in size free. and its a freeware and I installed it in the computer of the company im working for without having to reset the password or asking for the helpdesked help lol.
Holy shit, this is THE thing... too bad I'm not into making anything but this can still come into use.
What? You're lying, those are in game screenshots from Naphe's game!

oh i forgot "he made them himself"

:) I know...I'll find someone to do it.
Also great find ^^
This is effing great :lol:
Here's a pic of what I made in it like 4 years ago :tpg:
classic martian dastardliness, knowing about this program and not sharing; hoarding it to himself like an orphan hoards love.
I deleted the program before I joined rmrk.net (at that time crankeye.com)
suuuuuuuuuuuuure. We all know about martians and their "honesty"
I got a run time error because I made an insanely tall mountain. ._____.
This program is hard to use.

It's not that hard as long you check the size and height carefully.
I manually sculpt this. ;D

Yea, I made one into something like a huge crystal like island that have a height of 40.000 something metres :o

Oh yeah I heard everything in his game is in real time with extremely realistic graphics. Didn't he need to build a new Super Computer just to play it?
Anyway, I would really like to try this program. It looks good, nice find!
Yeah...how did you do that with so much detail?
My mountains are detailed, but the water and sunlight is pretty crappy. :(
That, is by adjusting an option "Detail" in the Rendering Control Window.
Be Careful, though it will take a pretty big size.
By the way, TERRANIM !
It's to animate your Terragen panoramas.
i just like it because it seems like it'll be easy to use with a tablet.
That, and you can rotate a selection in a full circle. Of course, you can do this in most things, but I dont have alot of diversified experience.
Cool, this is really good!
Wow I extremely blow at making panoramas with this program >_>

Nope, I got it super detailed once, then I changed the angle, and now it looks shitty again.. :/

What ?
The details or the panorama?
Well, if the panorama, it's all about the angles, right.
Place your camera at the right place, cuz it's possible your camera is inside a mountain. :o
w00000t I made another hundred :o.
This program rocks~~~ ;D

By the way, If you noticed, these two are made from the same world as before.
Just another angle. ;D
I have had ago... it rocks !!... Loving this tool, nice found !!!... Wanted to try and make mine look RTPish... kind of got what I wanted !!

Here's my latest one... Found how to up the quality !!!
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi178.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fw267%2Flegendofthefallen%2Fgreenrock.jpg&hash=d443bbb64746b6d2c1f59f6ff62537bd801aa00b)
How...?
I have the quality as high as it'll go... :'(
I can't figure out how to make it look pretty, even with the quality as high as it will go.
Someone take a print screen to show me if I'm doing the right thing?
Go into the Clouds tab and set the clouds to 3D
In the terrain Genesis screen put the realism bar right up
In the render settings put the Atmosphere and Cloud bars to Max
Under the render preview button is a detail slide, put that right up
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi178.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fw267%2Flegendofthefallen%2FSeaIsland.jpg&hash=ba1a2f5ec14c0f0a04b36373111515ad5c88e5ed)
Nice Work, LOS ;D
The first you made can possibly be used as a side view battle back !
w000000000000t
Hahahahahahahaha!
I feel so stupid.
I kept rendering the preview instead of the image! ;8
EDIT: How do you add trees and control the amount of greenery?
I don't thnik trees are possible, but green colored ground is possible to add, I yhink.
No, I've seen screen shots of trees in it before...maybe only in the registered version.
Trees are regis only...or so my computer-savvy friend says. Although you could go the really long hard way and render a green blob in Blender 3D and put it onto the image from Terragen...
I like the flexibility of Terragen's effects...by turning the water red and the land and sky brown or black you can make a Death Crater panorama with lava instead of water... and by recoloring the ground you can get sky-views of a lush forest from a distance or a close-up of a snowy mountaintop (currently my desktop). It's an awesome program, and apparently there's a way to import a terrain map into Blender 3D so you can work on it from there. Haven't done it yet though...

The title for my game. ;D
Holy crap, lol. I was looking for the topic and couldn't find it, and then I was like, "Oh, Sticky!" I'm glad you're all getting decent use out of it. ^^
Edit~ LOL about Naphe, by the way. I bet when enough time passes, every part of his "game" will eventually be found somewhere on the internet.
Death Crater
Took a while to adjust it to get the lava effect, but hey, it's good enough for me.
Nice, that's pretty cool.
BURNING HOT !!! :mex:
The lava looks like cheesy, though.
NACHOS PLOX! Nah, better than I could ever do. Maybe you should make it a little more red?

there are plugins that can make lava, they are linked though terragens main website
These pics could also be cropped down to make battlebacks :o

Yeah, an awesome side view battle back too!
......Hmm It's an interesting program to say the least... maybe I'll give it a shot....
Gimp rocks...yup...
I got the registered version, you can't put in trees but you can make HUGE landscapes that, unfortunately, take HOURS to render if you want it to be reeaaaallly nice.
Maybe someone could make a screen like this with a big, Sakura tree!? :)
Ah terragen we had a section of this in school
This Generator is freaking aweet best thign I have seen so far that is of good use to me.
It took some tinkering to get the controls but I have to thank you for finding it.

It might not be such a bad idea to take the top posts from Graphicsgale and Terragen. There are a lot of stickies in this board after all.
