You can also control the colour and luminosity of a population with a shader, adding natural-looking variety without the need for additional objects.
Features and improvementsĬontrol over populations is much improved, with the ability to edit individual instances in the main viewport or delete them entirely - which is really useful when you're after a very specific look to your scene. However, your render times can rise substantially and, with the new render passes, there's a good chance that you can replicate the effect much more quickly in post. The new depth-of-field blur option is a nice addition, enabling you to create some beautifully shallow depth-of-field effects, and it's easy to set the focal distance with a helper plane in the preview window. This gives you total freedom to edit the scene at the compositing stage, add effects like motion blur, and even relight the scene in Nuke and, to a lesser extent, in After Effects with the Normality plugin.
Terragen supports 27 elements, including object RGB and alpha, lighting information, plus object and surface data, such as depth, normal and motion vectors. In the scene's Render node you simply add a Render layer node, then tick whichever render elements you need. One key feature that will probably benefit every user is version 3's ability to render out a variety of passes.
