If any of you are having trouble installing the Terragen application and
it's plug-ins here is part 1 of the tutorial I am working on. The FINAL
tutorial (installation, useage, getting a scene into POV, and meshing with
your model will be done within the next 3 weeks.) This ONLY covers the
installation process. Note this is ONLY for WIndows Users. Mac users
you're on your own, sorry. Also if you are using Windows 95/98 you are in
luck as installtion is MUCH easier. Windows NT users DO NOT BOTHER IT WILL
NOT RUN! Windows 2000 and XP users you are in for a 4+ hour installtion
depending on what condition your system is in.
Okay here is the draft Tutorial
****************************************************
This program is designed for Win95,Win98 (WinME I guess it will work but I
don't recommend you HAVING WinME on ANY SYSTEM). WinNT WILL NOT WORK.
Win2000 will but you MUST be at Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, Service Pack 2
Rollup AND have ALL CRITICAL UPDATES.
If you are NOT sure what windows 2000 version you have. Do the following:
1. Use the mouse and do a right-click on the My Computer Icon on the desktop.
2. On the pop-up menu click on properties
3. Under System: It SHOULD SAY
Microsoft Windows 2000
x.xx.xxxx (your version of Windows2000)
Service Pack 2
If ID DOES NOT SAY servic Pack 2 then do the downloads below.
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 Roll Up
Windows Critcal Updates
Windows DirectX 8.1
Windows 2000 Compatablity Update
Click on the start button and then click on windows update icon. This will
take you to the MS update page. It's about 4+ hours of downloads and 4-5
reboots on your system over a 50K dial-up. Make sure you download in THE
ORDER ABOVE!

Windows 2000 users once you are done you need to follow the instructions in
this article
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=13029
Download the MSArticle.pdf file
and set the TERRAGEN program to run in Windows 95 mode. XP users you must
start the scene generator in classic mode meaning that XP acts like 95/98.
Hope this all helps,
AHui
