Huge thanks to Coreweave for sponsoring! Check out there render farm: www.conciergerender.com/ Also we're at 18 million trees! Only 2mil to go - we can totally do this! teamtrees.org/ #teamtrees **Correction at 14:48 just increase your tree particle amount to 40k, somehow that part was cut..
For anyone who can't get their leaves to appear at 13:00
Click on the tree
Go to Modifiers > Convert
Select the trunk and all the branches > Ctrl+J to join
Go to the landscape mesh
Remove the tree collection from the particle system and re add it
The origin for the tree may change so make sure it's correct :)
CG Geek your a cool dude, I don’t know how you come up with so much original content
A tutorial for cooking my PC ?
Saumil sunil Shah isn’t that all blender tutorials
Can I use it as a video game base ????
Two dumb questions (from someone wanting to start but who hasn't yet):
How do you make the trees wave gently in the wind for maximum realistic effect?
How do you make this whole scene into a game environment that you can "walk" around in?
Okay, I have to ask one more... How do you make a game environment where you can _actually_ affect any part of the environment in realistic and virtually infinitely variable ways instead of in terms of predetermined chunk elements, or is that out of the reach of current processing capacity?
Okay fine, I have one last one... How many years until 3D environment scanning and rendering technologies can produce a game-like program where we can explore an entire virtual earth in realistic detail? With residential addresses mixed randomly and real people's houses replaced with random ones, of course
I want to run around in places like Antarctica and build structures and tunnels and maybe melt the snow to cultivate some areas... with no predetermined game stories involved.

Great explanation! And something I should have mentioned at that part in the video.
You are a blessing! I couldn't figure out why my trees were only showing the no branches version. Thank you thank you thank you!

perfect comment haha
nice reference lol
Yes my too.
When u have a laptop :)
Yeah, my software just crashed lol
If you click off your settings by accident just hit F9 and it will open your last command in this case the landscape settings. Works for me and works for any command/setting 👍
Nice tip! note: that if you make any changes to anything this wont work, but great for bringing back the settings if you accidentally closed them!
@@CGGeek But if you are using apple is it still the same method
@@CGGeek How do we get the settings back if it is not the last command?
jd, thanks, man
omg thank you! i was getting so frustrated. lol
ME: rising up the number of trees to have more realistic render
MY PC: "It was an honor to work with you sir"
There's actually a trick in the particle section under viewport display. there is a slider that says amount, you can turn this down from 100% to say 20% or even lower so in the view port it would show only a portion of trees compared to what the rendered result would be. Therefore you could set your particles much higher without killing your pc in viewport display.

for the people that dont have the depth option showing in the compositing render layer, go to; view layer properties (2nd icon under render properties), go to passes>data>check the Z box.
Nice! Thanks, I was wondering why I couldn't see that. Oddly enough I still don't seem to have any differences than my render before the compositing nodes section, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually🤣

You are my saviour actually, before you do this tutorial thought of doing a forest as I did a forest but with high poly trees and worked nicely but I needed a really massive forest and your tree tutorial was a blast, then you accomplished it with this , you are awesome
A few years ago when I just started using blender I would have had no clue what your talking about during all this and would call witchcraft on it. Awesome tutorial. I actually thought about making exactly this kind of scene yesterday and this really helps!

C4D guy here but man I've been impressed by what I've seen coming out if Blender this year.
You are a legend for giving us this tutorial completely, including the compositing!!!
Amazing outcomes in a short amount of time! It seems so simple to create a realistic woodland with your Blender tutorial.
Protip: You can make the fog particles align to the camera rotation by adding a Copy Rotation constraint.
Cool method. I remember that particle mist was a big selling point in the 90's as particle systems were added to the big name 3D renderers of the time, as they were becoming more capable and more popular for TV work.
Still used alot and in games too, here it's optimizing by billboarding to always face the camera with tradeoff being the camera has to move a in a line, i'm not sure if hair particles can be set to always face camera or not.
@@TheNewton no, you don't look at hair from far enough for this, it would look extremely weird.
We used textured planes to make hair and actual simplified hair shader now
I got so much fun just making some trees and learning all that can be done with compositing nodes. Just another amazing tutorial that makes me love Blender even more with a great teacher! Thank you, sir! Unfortunately, I probably don't have such an amazing PC to make full HD renders... guess its time for an upgrade!
If you havent got depth on your render layers node, just go to the "view layer nodes" at the side, go to "passes", "data" and enable "Z"
If you don't have a num pad you can also go into view when camera is grabbed and do view --> align view --> align active camera to view (it shows the hotkey beside it.)
Oh thanks. I've been struggling lol
Im really digging this blender tutorial all across RUclips. I have been using 3ds max for 5 years now and Im planning to learn this Blender cause its really a flexible software.
Finally starting my blender journey, and saw this. This is basically one of the best tutorials on youtube!!!
while the result is gorgeous, due how this kind of fog is typically formed in a forest i believe the "smoke" should be less "patchy"
You packed so much solid infofrmation into this, that my brain keptshorting. Thanks for making it digestable and so efficient!
Up until minute 20, I have my doubt about my life and my choices. Questionable at best. yet at 20:42 my life transcended into something meaningful seeing what my 2 little hands can make and achieve. I no longer question my life. I have transcended into Blender Apprentice and have been blessed by the ability to make a forest.
Thank you. :D
CG Geek: So just add a landscape by enabling the A.N.T Landscape add-on in preferences then pressing Shift+A to add a landscape
Me: *Spits out tea* THAT EASY?!?
I literally made a procedural landscape generator first before I found this.
@@jabezcrisp7899 Same lol
Before this I used to use procedural displacement thinking I was genius till I saw this 🤣
(For people having trouble finding depth render pass) in render passes, in the render tab, you need to check off the box next to "Z" under the Data tab.
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU. That would have taken forever to find.
Yet again, another tutorial helping me with a huge project. Thank you.
The Beginning looks a lot like a part of some movie that is based in a forest... It's really cool what CGI can do. Nice Work!
I had so much fun making this and learnt maybe a littlebit too much :DD Thank you!
You blow me away with what you can do every time you put out a new video, keep up the awesome work!
Used some these techniques for a desert environment. Thanks for the amazing tutorial.
CG Geek: *pushing forward the usage of technology to a higher level*
Me: *deletes default cube *
No offense, but I really don't get these sorts of comments. He's literally teaching you how to do this stuff, and in fairly simple language to boot, lol.
why do you only get one shot at setting your landscape parameters? Why isn't all that saved as a modifier or something you can easily get back to under the plane object? thx for the tut.
I searched google to find out if a realistic large scale forest is possible to create using Blender..wasn't sure but I expected it to be able to and here it is....WOW ! very very realistic forest you created in it and it's very cool !
"We're gonna go to *about* a 0.2536786" Enters exactly the same number.
Yeah, quite great.
@Richard Wright lmfao
6:40 for making the black and white mask of the landscape to dictate where the rock appears and where the grass appears, I follow his steps exactly but it’s not making black and white separate it’s just changing the entire landscape from white to black... like it’s all the same color and doesn’t look splotchy like his...
"The last thing to do to increase you render time even more is..." Me: "I've always wanted to do that!"
I’m gonna be using this tutorial for the landscape of my realistic game, it’s not heavily focused on the terrain until the end, but thank you as it is still something necessary.
@ImJC1 ACCFIRE thing is, how do you get experience without trying
@ImJC1 ACCFIRE true, but I’ve got a dev team so I’m all good, and I have experience directing
You have the best blender tutorials, you’re the only one i can actually follow and understand your videos are so simple and straightforward, you my guy are an actual professional
The increase of trees happens by adjusting the seed amount (by default it is set to 1000).
My brain broke at 8 minutes. 30 minutes? This would take me a whole week :0
if your trees arent showing leaves in 12:00 when you put particle system on landscape, you need to apply and convert the particle on your main tree object. took me like 20 min to find out so here is the solution if someone gets stuck like I did
can you explain in detail please? Im new to blender and am so confused by this
@@markbalat6034 you need to apply and convert the leaf particle system on your tree object before you duplicate them on your landscape

I’ve been working on a movie in Blender and this video has helped a lot. Thanks a lot.
15:40 Thank you so much. My computer was struggling.
TO CREATE A FOREST :
Step 1) get blender
Step 2) jump in a lava pool
You can just Ctrl-shift-T the principled node to connect all textures at once. That's the node wrangler feature
i have a problem that when ever i render my image with particle system landscape disappears please help!!
I was like, this guy has opened an academy on youtube!
The other 33 seconds: u forgot us?
Jk, the video is really helping for everyone. Thanks! :))
you so much know what you're doing that you actually made me believe I could in fact render the same forest in 30 minutes ... Honestly, what you do in 30' would take me 3 weeks or more ! Well, I'm a rookie that's the reason tho.
Dude you’re killing it with your vids lately bro! Thank you!!! Keep up the great work! You should do a werewolf transformation tutorial! RUclips needs a blender werewolf transformation tutorial so bad!

I'm at the compositing stage trying to use Scene Depth > Map Value. No matter what values I tweak on the Map Value, my whole scene is covered, I can't isolate the hills in the foreground... does anyone have any suggestions?
For those who can't see the map value, I don't know the principle, but when I restarted the computer and re-rendered an image, it worked. You can try it.
Great tutorial! That's a very interesting way of adding fog to a scene. I would be interested in comparing that method to rendering the fog in Eevee and composite it into the cycles render!
Edit: Fixed a typo

If your noise settings for the mountains are still sharp change the noise basis from Blender to Perlin. I think it defaults to the blender if you haven't used the terrain tool before, but the blender one is a nightmare for scaling.

And that glare streaks node is doing sourcery on the animation! But I think it isn't the whole story... it alone couldn't reach that level of lens flare godness. Was it just a few almost transparent circls you slapped along with it? Lens flare is something I'd like to know how to do, but there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do it..
Yup for the final animation I slapped a bit of an overlay on top of the Blender lens flare. Just a free overlay clip on RUclips for a little extra pop.

thanks Steve, Ive been watching you among others on and off for 2 years now. At first I was like some of the other commenters WTF, HOW. But id like to say to some of the new beginners, start slow and easy, keep on doing it, it will take some time a year or two possible but if you just keep doing it eventually you will start to understand what all the different functions and nodes are, additionally dont just folllow tutorials word for word, play around with the settings and sliders and values, mixing value so you will learn what things can do. Thanks again love your work.
