Well, im not a computer programmer, im only 17 years old.
For the terragen problem, here is how to fix it:
- On the "Landscape View/Sculpt" Panel, where you alter the camera angle, you need to left click, then right click on the same point on the map. The 3 lines that represent the camera view should disapear.
- Go onto the "Rendering Control" Panel and look on the right hand side. There should be loads of text boxes with numbers in.
- Click on the tick box next to "Fixed Height Above Surface".
- Then alter the value in the text box next to it. I think 7000.m is a good number to start at.
- Simply alter the altitude until it looks good.
Hope that helps.
PM for any other help.
