Quote - I just bought Terra Dome. For some reason I didn't get a coupon from RDNA, but it was already 30% off, or about $21. In response to the person who thought there should be more "for the price," I was surprised because I thought he or she had paid $100 or something!!

I agree that the tutorials are too skimpy and basic. But they do get you started.

One problem I noticed is that the ground displaces far up into a figure's feet, even when using the DD (Displacement Damper) materials as instructed. I had to make several trials and errors before I could get Vicky to stand on the ground in the render. In order to do so, she had to float several inches above ground in the preview. This process seems to be necessary for each scene, though I suppose you could jot down exactly how high a figure must float above a particular terrain in order to be above-ground in the render.

I really like the sky textures. The grass and ground textures, as always are a bit too low-res in the interests of keeping the texture maps reasonable. Looks fine as long as you're not focused in too closely on the ground.

Yeah Im getting that problem too All my renders so far have her feet in the ground still though each one gets better but it is a bit of a pain sine I would like to use the rough ground and I have to use it flat to easily get V4's feet closer to aboe ground without getting a suprise hill where none was before.
