Where to Find Terragen News, Blog Posts, and Featured Projects on Planetside Software

Updated

Planetside Software's homepage (planetside.co.uk) is the main entry point for Terragen news, blog posts, and featured projects. The site organizes these into three distinct sections — News, Blog, and Featured Projects — each with its own "Read All" link that leads to the full archive. If you want release updates, go to News; if you want to see what the software can produce, go to Featured Projects; if you want a mix of announcements and articles, the Blog is the place to start.

The Three Content Sections at a Glance

Section What it contains Best for
News Version releases, bug fixes, company announcements Checking the latest Terragen version and update history
Blog Articles, tutorials, and commentary from Planetside Software Understanding features and workflows in more depth
Featured Projects Showcases of work created with Terragen Evaluating visual quality and seeing real-world results

Each section on the homepage shows a preview of recent entries, followed by a "Read All" link. That link is your path from the homepage summary to the complete list.

News: Version Releases and Bug Fixes

The News section is where Planetside Software publishes software updates. A representative example from the homepage is the Terragen 4.8.62 Release (dated November 12, 2025), described as an update to Terragen 4.8 that fixes bugs which came to light after the original 4.8 release. The post specifically flags an "Important Bug Fix: Clouds in Path Tracer" and links back to the original 4.8 release for context.

This tells you two things about how to use the News section:

  • Release notes are cumulative in context. A point release like 4.8.62 references the base 4.8 release, so if you are tracking a specific fix, read both posts.
  • Bug fixes are called out explicitly. If you are troubleshooting a known issue (for example, clouds rendering incorrectly in the Path Tracer), the News section is where the fix will be announced.

To check for the latest version: open the homepage, scan the News preview for the most recent release post, and click through to read the full notes. Use the "Read All" link to see the complete release history rather than just the most recent items.

Blog: Articles and Commentary

The Blog section sits alongside News on the homepage and has its own "Read All" link. While News is oriented toward releases and announcements, the Blog is where longer-form content lives. The homepage does not enumerate individual blog post titles in the available material, so the practical approach is:

  1. Go to the homepage.
  2. Find the Blog heading.
  3. Click Read All to browse the full archive.

Use the Blog when you want context beyond a changelog — for example, explanations of how a feature works or notes on production workflows.

Featured Projects: Seeing Terragen in Practice

The Featured Projects section showcases work made with Terragen. This is the section to visit if your question is "what does this software actually produce?" rather than "what changed in the latest build?" Like the other two sections, it has a "Read All" link leading to the full collection.

For someone evaluating Terragen, Featured Projects is arguably the most informative section, because it demonstrates output quality directly rather than describing it.

A Practical Browsing Path

Depending on what you need, the homepage supports three different routes:

  • "Is there a new version?" → News → most recent release post → follow links to the base release if needed.
  • "What can Terragen do?" → Featured Projects → Read All → browse the gallery.
  • "How does a feature work?" → Blog → Read All → scan for relevant articles.

All three sections are reachable from the same homepage, so you do not need separate URLs or accounts to browse them. The homepage also notes that Planetside Software's customers include a range of studios and artists, which is worth keeping in mind when browsing Featured Projects — the showcased work reflects professional production use.

What the Homepage Does Not Cover

The available site material does not specify pricing details, licensing terms, or download requirements within these three sections. Pricing is handled separately: the site includes a Buy link pointing to the Terragen 4 Professional purchase page. If your goal is to purchase rather than browse, start from that Buy link instead of the News, Blog, or Featured Projects sections.
