While not an expert by any means yet on World Machine a question was asked of me, and I thought to reply here as it would then be for everyone if they chose to aquire World Machine, either the free version or the registered one.
To save a file as a .terr file which would be needed for Terragen, you need to do the following:
The output is the one you would do this to:
1. Highlight the file output
2. right click, click 'set properties'
3. check terragen format
4. In the box that now will allow you to labeled Filename, hit the set button,
making sure you put a different name then what is there. I usually put a
date, such as 1_26_06.terr
5. When the save as box opens hit save as which would be then put in your
examples folder in World Machine.
6. Hit ok when it has been saved and the box closes.
7. Now you build your terrain, by hitting the green button.
8. your new terrain will then show in the preview window of WM.
9. Hit the 'toggle terrain button' you are brought back to the window where
your new terrain is.
10. Final step hit the set properties button again, now hit the 'write output
to disk. It will say 'File Written'.....
Now go to Terragen, open your terrain by going to the WM folder, go to examples, open it and your new terrain should be there.
It took me a few times of trial and error to figure this out... I hope it's easier for you all then for me... :))))
Be well,
Pat
