grass business / commercial software for mac

Terragen 2.0 is created as a useful graphic tool which is designed for rendering and animating realistic natural environments. Create entire worlds from your imagination, or import real world terrain datasets and use Terragen 2 to create the most realistic visualisations possible. You control the weather, landscape, rivers, lakes and oceans, suns, moons and stars. With Terragen 2 you have complete control over the shader networks used for terrains, textures, micropolyon displacements, clouds and object distributions. You can reorganise the planetary shading pipeline to suit your goals. Place grass and trees wherever you want, as well as other objects in OBJ format that you can model in third party software. It's easy to find great plants and objects modelled by other Terragen users or elsewhere on the web.

Terragen is not a game engine; it has a sophisticated film- and broadcast-quality renderer and procedural modelling tools designed so that you can create the most realistic images possible without taking a photograph. Nor is it a general-purpose 3D program designed to render everything. Have dedicated more than a decade to specialising in algorithms that simulate skies, outdoor lighting, terrain textures, and to render extremely large and detailed terrains. Terragen 2 puts those algorithms in your control. When you need CG environments that don't look CG, Terragen 2 will help you get there. If you want to go beyond reality, Terragen 2 is a toolbox with infinite possibilities.

Major Features:

1. Hybrid micropolygon renderer optimised for large displacements and very large landscapes.
2. Render entire planets, sweeping vistas, tiny rock gardens, or anything in between.
3. Export high resolution objects from displaced surfaces.
4. Import 3D objects for rendering.
5. Render millions of plants and other objects using instancing. Billions of virtual polygons are handled with ease.
6. Add multiple heightfields, textures and displacement maps to your scene.
7. Georeferencing options; automatic georeferencing for properly formatted GeoTIFF files.
8. Procedural terrains that can span an entire planet.
9. Apply almost "infinite" fractal detail to terrain and other objects.
10. Overhanging terrain using procedural displacements, image-based displacements, or imported geometry.
11. 3D painting of colours and masks that can control almost anything in the scene.
12. Photorealistic atmosphere and sunlight.
13. Volumetric clouds or fast "2.5D" clouds.
14. Global illumination, multiple scattering in volumetrics, full light interaction between volumetrics and surfaces.
15. Production quality anti-aliasing and motion blur that renders quickly and efficiently.
16. High dynamic range output; generate photorealistic environment maps and IBL sources.
17. Node graph editor for ultimate control over shaders and textures.
18. Flexible planetary shading pipeline.
19. Animation of almost any parameter with the optional Animation module.

Are you ready to become golfs most recognized golfer?

The Environment Pack contains Fish,Birds,Butterflies,Animal Movement Scripts,Rocks,Grass,Terrain Tiles & a Mission. It includes all files required for using and modifying these features for your game.

BraveTree Productions is proud to announce the release of the Environment Pack, the next in the line of Torque powered content packs. This pack is chockfull of objects, scripts and textures for experimenting and building a game environment.

Just look at some of what youll get: Scripts for guilding animals along paths that you can manipulate in your mission, bird, butterfly, and fish models, different varieties of rocks and grass, terrain jpgs that tile perfectly in the torque engine, a mission with script examples to help in learning how to add the animal paths to your mission, and much more.

BraveTree Content Packs contain shapes, textures and scripts designed specifically to work with the Torque engine and are produced by experienced game developers who have shipped several products with this technology prior to it becoming the Torque Game Engine.

Here are some compelling reasons to purchase content packs:
• You can experiment with a set of "widgets" that are beyond what is included in the Torque Demo Application.
• You can quickly prototype your idea, solving the "chicken and egg" problem of needing to attract team members in order to build a product that is good enough to "attract team members."
• It gives developers access to commonly used items for a reasonable cost.
• It frees artists up to make game specific content, rather than spend time making commonly used items.
• The developers who have created the shapes have experience with real time games, they are guaranteed to work, and they are of the highest quality.
• The cost of the shape is reasonable considering how much time you would have to spend to create the shape and/or contract the shape out to an artist.
• These shapes have been expertly tuned to work with the Torque Game Engine.
