If you’re a beginning Terragen user who likes hands-on, project-based learning, or an intermediate user looking to pick up some tips and tricks and improve your workflow, this tutorial is for you.  The skills you learn in this course are immediately applicable to many different Terragen scenes, and will boost the realism of your landscapes. 

All Assets Included

All assets used in the course, including moss materials, fern objects, and the finished .tgd scene file are included for download in the project assets.  We'll also cover good places to obtain more assets to use in Terragen. 

This course does require a basic knowledge of the Terragen user interface, and if this is your first time picking up Terragen, I recommend watching a few of the introductory videos on the TerraTuts YouTube page before getting started.
