| cool, thanks for sharing!! :-) |

| Are you allowed to distribute/resell Terragen output? I'm pretty sure you aren't. |
| ||
| why not? other companies are using and distributing and reselling it too... check: http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/commercialuse.shtml or is it allowed when you use it inside a game or movie, and not just distribute and resell the terragen output? |
| ||
| I have a full (paid up) commercial license to use Terragen. So chill! Regards, Rogue Vector |

| I have a full (paid up) commercial license to use Terragen. So do I, but I'm pretty sure their EULA prevents you from doing this. So chill! I'm only saying. No need to get out of your pram over it. or is it allowed when you use it inside a game or movie, and not just distribute and resell the terragen output? Yes, that's how I understand it. |
| ||
| I agree with GFK that it is questionable. I don't use Terragen myself, but when I saw your pack the first thing I thought was "Hey... that's from Terragen... didn't I read on their webpage once that you can't resell skyboxes you generate with it?" The reason for that, I presume is because if there were a lot of free skyboxes made with the software freely available, it would reduce the value of the product for generating skyboxes, which is pretty much it's only real use. Anyhow, you just might want to check up on that. As far as I know there is no such restriction on Bryce images though. |
| ||
| What does registration entitle me to? You will have the non-exclusive rights to use Terragen within a business and/or commercially exploit any material you create with it. http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/register.shtml |
| ||
| Well, I can't find anyhting on the page or in the license agreement which says you cannot use it for skyboxes. I must conclude that they changed the license agreement. I clearly remember reading that it could not be used for makign skyboxes to sell, but I guess it's okay to do that now. |

hehe i wrote a program to convert cubemap to spheremap (for reflections) |

| Hi, After the previous debate, I decided to email Planetside Software for some clarification. To: 'John McLusky' <john@...; Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 9:36 PM Subject: Commercial License: Clarification of acceptable use Hi, I recently purchased a commercial license to use Terragen (04 April 2004) and I am distributing some images that were made with it here: http://www.OctaneDigitalStudios.com Someone on a web forum has questioned whether I'm actually allowed to do this. Look here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=35440 Now, I'm confused. Can you clarify the situation? If I've done something wrong, I will take the images down immediately. --------------------------------------------------------- From: 'John McLusky' <john@...; Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 9:36 PM Subject: RE: Commercial License: Clarification of acceptable use Hi, I'm very happy to say that, as you have registered your copy, you may do anything you wish with the output - this includes selling it directly (e.g. as downloadable textures) and indirectly (e.g. in a game). You are also welcome to make the output of Terragen available free of charge if you so wish. Thanks, John. Happy now? Regards, Rogue Vector |

| This is great. The maps are 100% pure pleasure. They even whisper "hey, make a space game" etc. Thanks a lot for sharing! |
| ||
| "Happy now?" I wasn't mad. :-) I was just informing you of a potential problem in your own best interests. I could really care less if it wasn't on the up and up! You might also ask him if he changed the license agreement at any time. :-) |
| ||
| These are great - thanks! |
| ||
| uh-oh looks like he's over his bandwidth :/ |
| ||
| These are absolutely superb sky boxes. I must confess to having leached the whole lot and contributing to the bandwidth overkill ! :). I'm intending to use a few in my forthcoming game (Deathmatch iLANd due out this week hopefully). Good stuff. |
| ||
| My site will be back up next week. The whole collection of 15 environment cube maps will also appear in a forthcoming release of '3D World' Magazine - probably issue #55. Regards, Rogue Vector |
| ||
| Congratulations! It's always a good thing to be in the 3d world magazine. BTW I use your MP5 that was on the same Page. Thanks a lot, it looks very nice too. |
