Terragen is ©1997-2002 Matt Fairclough. I didn't write Terragen. This user guide ©1998-2002 John McLusky, Matt Fairclough. This guide is written for all browsers and is viewable at any resolution, although it will look best at 800x600 and upwards.

For your inspiration, there is a list of Terragen Galleries on the main Planetside site. I personally recommend Luc Bianco's gallery.

If you have any suggestions for additions or corrections to any section, in particular if you have any ideas for expanding the FAQ, please let me know by emailing me. Also, if you are interested in translating this guide into other languages, please contact me.

If you have any problems with Terragen that are not covered by this guide, email support@planetside.co.uk. Priority is given to registered users.
