yea, you got that right, free is good. I actually have it on a disc somewhere that i saved from my temps. I have been thinking of it a bit lately, interesting you should mention it. Last time i used it I didn't know what the hell it was for except making 'alien landscapes' and I thought it a bit boring after a while and went to the botanical gardens and took digital photos of plants which I thought more fun. I didn't realise it was 3D I just thought it some program to display computer tech virtuosity, which I wasn't interested in. So terragen actually creates a wireframe?? Interesting, can you import it into Maya; well obviously you can but how and what format is it. I'm a little careful of throwing stuff on the computer these days, there's always a blue screen or two waiting around the corner on my computer.
take it easy and life will be easy
