Another one I haven't done awhile. I use DreamScene for an Alkaline Trio show in Aneheim (full set). Its pretty friggen cool, and when I want I can turn on the music and chill.

Do you make the images? Or just find 'em and load 'em up?

I used to do Bryce stuff a lot and it was kinda fun.

Sadly I have to go out and find the images since I'm not very compitant with terragen, and simply can't use photoshop. I've made a few things with terragen, but unfortunately dont have access to the images right now. They're on my old computer and I forgot to upload them before moving to my current computer. I plan on learning more about terragen, especially terragen 2, which I'll get simply because it will only cost $100 if I preorder it(I get $99 off because I bought the original Terragen for $79 before they hiked the price to $99

), but at the time, I have no clue how to use Terragen 2...they completely changed the interface from the original versions, but luckily there are guides.

I'll eventually get around to putting up my own terragen backgrounds, but my first day of class starts effectively tomorrow, and so I probably wont have time to learn much at all for the next 2 1/2 months...chemistry major, have 2 4 hour labs a week...first lab is tomorrow, then I'll be taking some calculus(multivariable), and then finish it off with organic chemistry lecture, with the ACS Exam for Organic Chemistry as one of my finals

, so...yeah, I'll be too busy to learn much about terragen this quarter

Cool - thanks for the info.

Never heard of terragen - I think I'll google it.

I still have Bryce - I just kinda got burned out on using it. It is pretty cool, that Bryce.
