for all the people that are big mad: thanks for clicking on the video and having to sell a kidney to be able to afford a terrain generater purely for erosion simulation is way too overkill for something like this. If you want to make a mountain sure i agree you should have erosion but for simple terrains like hills or forest ground (you wont even see in the final render) this method works FINE. not to mention this method is really great for fantasy landscapes since a lot of people are already familiar with shader nodes. thanks for watching!! and follow me on instagram

After months of looking for a proper terrain generation software that I won't have to sell my organs to buy, I came back to blender and decided why the fuck not since all the other software are doing the same shit blender does. Terrain gen in blender has always been extremely easy, and most importantly, free of cost. Thanks for coming to my ted talks.

Never even considered putting the emission shader into the volume! Great technique! Thank you!

That looks sick, straight forward and easy to follow. Subscribed!

Happy birthday Baeac ^0^

🔥🔥🔥Keep it up, nice tutorial!!

Epic!! Thank you for the tutorial! 🥰

Stunning. Can't wait to give it a go. Hopefully my mac studio max (30gb)will cope Happy belated birthday

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday

Happy very belated birthday! 🎉

Amazing tutorial! Helped me a lot!

Great content man. Love the humor in the there too.

I personally think it would be better to do this with geometry nodes first so the displacement can be visualized without rendering everything and then baked into layers and textures.

Happy birthday, Baeac! :)

Happy Birthday by the way!

So cool!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Happy Belated Bdayy

Wishing you a great birthday and year ahead....May God grant you enough of all that you wish and dream of!!!

Damn that looks amazing thank you for sharing

Really nice!!

Happy birthday sir and sorry for late.

Happy b-Day!!!

That’s so sick As someone who is new to blender it’s mind blowing how people use the nodes

im sory if its late but happy bday you were very helpful

Thank you so much!!

好棒的审美！

Nice tutorial bro. u got a sub ❤

Happy Birthday !! (even though im kinda late : )

late happy birthday to you mate

Very cool process. I like the use of “fake” geometry

Thank you! Amazing tutorial

Happy Birthday 🥳❤

This would be good for backgrounds as long as you don't need to instance trees or anything on it. Since there's not actual geometry. I think you could do 90% of it with geometry nodes and the fine details with a normal map to make modeling easier. You've motivated me to try.

God!

i like it. thanks

new to blender here! (literally started a few weeks ago). For anyone having trouble with the plane disappearing when adding the sub division modifier go to Edit Preferences Select Viewport Scroll down to Subdivision, click on the drop down arrow (or the expand icon) Deselect GPU Subdivision It should work correctly after this. Hope that helps.

You got a sponsor, congratulations

awesome

Am I correct in saying that this technique of displacing using the micropoly displacement that you achieve with the adaptive subdiv and experimental mode of Cycles.... is like using a multires mod on the plane to get a lot of resolution and later baking that into a low-poly mesh? But if I can get this level of resolution and detail w/o baking... why would I want to bake if I only want to make a static image? I think maybe it would render faster baked? for game assets maybe? anyway, lots of ways to do stuff in Blender. Its cool but also baffling to a beginner sometimes. thx for the tut

very cool thanc

Hey man i love your videos

I wanted to create a custom landscape so I just created a plane and sculpted it. Sadly something this simple isn't mentioned on any tutorial video and it took my Internet Explorer brain a month to realise something this simple.

Great tutorial there considering it can be combined with terrain generated in GAEA. By the way, any idea on how to scatter some vegetation on such terrains? Maybe via some geometry nodes setup and height map?

How to get that sun texture please mine just looks plane without shadows

do you know how to use the landscape addon that is in blender? I would love a full breakdown how to on that, i saw you had some shorts ill look at but great tips in this video 2, keep on with more environment types! and happy bday

is there any way to turn something like this into a mesh?

I cant displace the plane vertically. when i tone up the height i only get darker blotches. any tips on how to fix this?

WAS THE 420 LIKE POG Cheers G w Video :))

But how did you add in?

cooooooooooooooooooooooool

Wishing you a great birthday and year ahead filled with God's blessings and enough of all that you wish for !!!

Well, I liked it a lot. Does a mountain like this, made with displacement, require fewer rendering resources than a mesh?

@3:05 what node is that exactly? I'm not getting anything that looks like the Add one you added.

Can I do this on a Cylinder not plane? Can I gen a texture for this mesh including normal texture and color texture?

yeah this is not working for me, maybe it's cos i'm using version 3.3, but at 02.00, musgrave texture height into scale, into displacement, exactly the way you have it there, and mine is flat, stubbornly flat.... is there a plug in that I might have missed? Other than that your tutorial looks amazing

I wouldn't say it's the CORRECT way of making landscapes, just one of the ways. Plus sometimes it might be easier for your pc to work with more topology rather then a complex shader which takes a lot of computation. If you wanted to bring this to a nice realistic landscape/render, doing it the way you do might be more power and time consuming then just doing it with topology (sculpting, displacement maps and then baked down, or using tiling textures). Never the less this is one of the ways to do landscape or other stuff, but we shouldn't say this is the CORRECT way to do it, since there is a lot of ways to do it, probably a lot of them better to do then this one.

For a long time, I have wanted to "convert" the result of a material displacement to a mesh object. If I could do this, I could bake the high-resolution textures to an image (I'm thinking top-down planar coordinates) and use them with the model. Then it would be exportable to a game engine. Have you found a way to do this yet?

very cool! I cant seem to figure out how to get the "add" node... I try searching "add" but I only come up with an add shader.

We need to know see your keyboard button what you clicked pls

how do you get this to work in blender 4.1

Does this work in every version?

how to export it tho ? this looks like nothing but a flat plane on FBX files

How do you get access to that "content gap" thing?

How did u add a new node

Doesn't work for me, I get the mountains but they don't look exactly like yours

Great tutorial but could not rende....system says...out of GPU memory?? 16gb DDR5 ram on a Asus rog strix with nvidia rtx and ryzen processor

not working for me

This should really be done with geo nodes. I mean each to their own of course but this is just displacement, with geo nodes you can have real geo and expand on this with so much more such as scattering other assets like trees, grass, rocks. Also you set up your displacement wrong and when you corrected it, didn’t mention anything. I only noticed because I saw you set it up wrong and wanted to see if you showed the correction.

To be or not to be shal dal

You probably shouldnt do your landscapes in blender anyways you should use a software that has an erosion system.. It's the bare minimum for landscapes.. I think someone created an addon for blender that adds an erosion nodes tho maybe give that a try

Lol did you delete my other comment? I was gonna add on by saying - noise textures are good for getting the general unevenness of a terrain, but not for the fine details of it, which doesn't mimic the features of natural erosion.

Jeez, the number of videos from amateur 3D artists that have authoritative titles ('the CORRECT way') is shocking. This is not a professional way of doing terrains by far... there are programs for terrain generation like World Machine or Gaia that have wind and water erosion nodes that help make the landscape look like geology that exists in nature. Just manipulating noise is not going to get you even close to a realistic-looking terrain. There are even other Blender videos on KZfaq that go over doing erosion with geometry nodes, so you saying that using noise is the all-caps 'CORRECT' way, when it's not even a step most professionals would include, is just poorly-researched. Doing realistic terrains involves the following: 1. Reference and research (this terrain needed a lot more of it) 2. Doing initial sculpting or layering of elements (NOT starting with random noise--find me a terrain that looks like mountains of random sizes scattered randomly next to each other at perfectly Perlin scales) 3. Making sure the above process is relatively non-destructive so you can adjust where those elements are later (using a noise texture defeats the purpose of this, and lacks control) 4. Using some kind of terrain tool (Gaia, World Machine, Houdini, Blender if you have to) to do the procedural erosion (again, non-destructive) 5. Getting maps of different parts of the erosion, slope, elevation, etc. out of the terrain tool and using them for texturing (keeping as non-destructive as you can so you can move through these steps fluidly) 6. Using pre-existing assets to scatter other elements like rocks, smaller formations, etc., even going so far as to scatter them in non-destructive ways so they stay with nearby elements that you might move in steps 2 or 3.

this looks BAD and its not "DIFFERENT" at all. just stop with the clickbait man. jfc

Hello Dear Baeac .. i have just subscribed your channel , i hope it will help you to stay this channel healthy and active

Well, your video is a very good intro about using procedural noises to create terrain. This is nothing new, of course, but it's always a good intro for beginners. Keep it up, your videos will only get better!. Just one criticism. You should have the expertise to show a more elaborate result than that.
