beachlegs

I have bought the UltraScenery-Realistic landscape System, I would like to know will the scene's I bought for that will they work with UltraScenery2? What is the diffenence between them?

From the description:

Compatibility

Use all your older (Classic) UltraScenery content within UltraScenery2*. Content compatibility was an important priority during development - you can use Classic Ecologies on new Terrain presets, or use new Ecologies on Classic Features.

There is no better solution for creating limitless, beautiful and highly detailed landscapes within Daz Studio than UltraScenery2.

* Some restrictions may be applicable - such as Classic Features will only work as expected on terrains that are 64 x 64m and Biome layer settings are not available for Classic Ecologies

Thank you Charlie Judge that has helped me decide to buy it :)

You can use the classic Ultrascenery ecologies and features in USC 2. This is one I did recently which is a USC2 with the "Classic" Desert 09 ecology. (The mountains in the far distance are USXT.)

 

The key differences for me between USC and USC2 is that USC2 can make larger terrains and there is detailed control over the USC2 terrain after it is initially created. USC2 is not limited to 64m squares. And once created, you interact with a USC2 object via this pane, which gives you specific control over USC2 features, like these fallen leaves that I have highlighted from one of the USC2 Oaks ecologies. Here, you can see that you can set things like density and spacing, set altitude and slope parameters for where the thing appears, and set affinities - such as here, where fallen leaves are only seen in conjunction with Oaks trees.

Thank you so much my friend, I am going to go buy it now :)

The USC2 Comprehensive Guide is really helpful, too.

That is good to know. I will plan on finishing collecting the rest of the Ultra Scenery 1 products then.
