Hi, guys!

Still working on the new Terraformer package for FT Pro. Completion target date is around March or April 2009 (maybe before, if I can scrounge more 'puter time).

Fractal Terrains

I thought I'd give you kids a list of some new stuff I'm gonna try to stuff in:

  1. Climate Image Shaders expanded from 125 to 200 - all in more compact jpeg format (these are almost finished!).
  2. More cloud maps (hopefully lots more)
  3. Special overlays such as equator markers in red, white, or green color options.
  4. A "Shader Catalogue" showing the results of each shader in flat map and "globe" perspectives, in PDF format. This will allow users to "shop" for the specific shader(s) that they want to use before committing to use them for specific projects.
  5. An expanded User's Manual containing tutorials on both writing their own custom LGT files, and creating their own jpeg/bmp climate image shaders. It will also contain additional helpful tips and suggestions.
  6. A "green seas" and perhaps a "bathymetric" LGT file(s).
  7. The language of the User's Manual will be more refined and far more simplified...

I would also like to include a FAQ based on your questions and critiques. I am a member of the Cartographer's Guild (user name "PlanetDesigner").

Thank you - and keep on mapping with Fractal Terrains Pro!!!
