You can "walk" around your map by hitting the 3D icon on the side bar, this is used as another way to set up the camera if that's more comfortable for you. If you're going to Render Preview you might want to keep the Detail down. Sometimes you might have to fiddle with the Camera Position Z (alt) value because the camera can get a little weird as you move it around the landscape. You can reposition the camera in the little mini-map by using your left and right mouse buttons. Make sure to ramp the Detail slider up all the way to the right if you're going to "Render Image". Step 8: Once you have your water looking nice, it's time to check it out: We're only concerned with the Water Level value at the top, so play with the numbers hitting "Update Maps" each time to see the changes in your Render/Landscape window.

Step 6: If nothing exploded, the Landscape and Render windows will look something like this: Step 5: Now click "Import." in the Landscape window and you'll be confronted with this:Ĭlick "Select File and Import" and select your 513x513 24-bit uncompressed.

Step 2: Terragen likes 24-bit uncompressed. Navigate down to 'Elevations respecting lake and ocean floors' and hit Enter to export to your Dwarf Fortress folder.

#GAMES THAT USE TERRAGEN HOW TO#
Anyway, here's how to get a DF world map into Terragen if you've never used it before: You can still make some nice stuff with it, there's not much that's disabled between the free and registered versions from what I can see. If you're using the free version you're limited to a maximum of 513x513 height maps, if you're on a slower computer you may want to try a 129x129 or 257x257 height map.
