How do you make the color of the sky red and not the entire thing red, like the beginning image for the postwork

for the pre work,go to atmosphere settings and change decaying red and atmospheic blue to the colors you want.then go to ligh settings and change the sun level to sun set(set it by the ground).

Sorry, but I think the end result looks kinda unrealistic.

All I do is:
1) Make the Terragen image.
2) Save it and open it in GIMP/PS.
3) Duplicate the Image Layer.
4) Smudge it all out.
5) Set the smudged layer to "Soft Light." (100%)
6) Then do a Copy Visible/Apply Image.
7) Set that layer to "Soft Light." (You choose the Opacity, but I prefer 50-75%)

I think the Gradient Map that you put in is the main cause of the Unrealistic-ness. But I don't know. It's still a great tutorial.

 Acually, I know it may not seem realistic, but I aimed on teaching texturing. Good tip though. :)
But yes I'll try to update this by ,hopefully, this weekend.

When I go on 3D Preview, it really just stays white...

You can add texture without anything else. If you want, I could make a tut for it or just tell you.

 Dabbleh: loL. And I don't think you can save the 3d thing. It is mainly for positioning the camera.

Mo: How long did it stay white? Sometimes it may take 5 minutes or so to start loading the terrain. If it stay blank for longer- Wait for about an hour, and if it isn't still loaded then look at support on the site. Always, keep in mind, that loading could take a long time depending on the quality of your computer.

Updates I'm planning on adding soon:

-Better examples for making the terrain.
-Finish the rest
-Add some terrains that you can download.

The loading it just stays white until I get tired and close it. When I get a chance I'll see how long

 Another tip-
Try not to have tons of applications running. A webpage is ok, but a game that you installed with a CD would make it load slower.

 You don't have to add an effect.Also an effect is like a plug-in for terragen.

 You download them from various sites. Look at the main site they link to some effects.

Click "Render Image" on the Rendering Control window, then let it load (It may take a long time if you checked "Clouds Cast Shadows")
Then Click "Save Image." It saves it as a BMP, but you can change it in GIMP/PS.

 I think it's pretty good. Try adding some surface maps to your terrain.

 Meh. I don't feel like reuploading. If you need surface maps go to the terranuts link at the bottom.
