There are two types of people in this world: Those who use maximum objects with minimum nodes & Those who use maximum nodes with minimum objects I am a object person so this node master work is blowing my mind
I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that this video is actually life-changing. This function has redefined my workflow in a lot of ways and helps speed up my understanding of how to get done what I need to do in blender overall. Thank you for making this video.
I agree, this is pretty great. I am an immediate fan. Reviewing this video, compiling a set of written quick-reference notes to do it the same (or different), and will be trying this out! Thank you for using terms as correctly as you can, since it helps the rest of us with all the new features.
I'm new to Blender and knowing that there are resources out there that are free and as detailed as this one, it makes me feel comfortable with just jumping in and using this software. Keep up the good work
11:28 Been using Blender for years and had no idea you could shift multiple parameters in sync like that. It took me a bit to figure it out but you click in one, moved your mouse pointer down first to select however many you want to change and then shift left or right to change the values. You can seemly do this in any node with various unrelated values even. Super handy. Thanks!
Thank you for such an inspiring and thorough tutorial. Granted I had to do it twice; the first time I got lost in the maze of nodes and mapping, that I lost the impact of the subtle results; the second time was so gratifying to see it come to life before my eyes! Until Blender 2.8, I struggled to use the program with the same fluidity as 3DSM...now I'm a convert to the new UI thanks to you!
I am completely and utterly interested in more tutorials about how you could make this image even more realistic and detailed. Give us particles! This was a well though out and thorough tutorial. Thank you!
been using blender for about a year now as a hobbyist and consider myself decent but this really opened up some doors for me on how i can improve thank you for your tutorial!
This is fantastic. You explain things at a perfect pace and in good detail for a beginner like me to follow along with. Will be fun to mess around with this!
Awesome tutorial! Thank you! I was trying to get a type of terrain through A.N.T, but with this method, you get a lot more control. Small tip. Click on Principled BSDF, then Ctrl+shift+T, and then the browser will open, select all Diffuse(Albedo), Normal, Roughness textures and it will connect everything with a mapping node. Not sure if it's a built-in feature or a function of node wrangler (which you can enable under Edit - Preferences - Addons - Norde Wrangler).
Me a couple minutes in: pshh, what's this guy talking about, it doesn't seem that bad. Me at around the 8 minute mark: um... Er... I feel stupid. My word... By the end of the video.
Yeah... Disappointing. Don't get me wrong, the landscape looks beautiful from beginning to end, but as far as tutorials go this was not very useful. What good does it do me to copy and paste all those nodes when there's little explanation of what they do.
@@TheTca211 , oh I definitely learnt some stuff, it was super interesting. I was just watching it before but I actually plan on going through it again and following step by step. I reckon that it would be very educational.
please please please do a follow up vid where you bake the displacement and add trees! this concept opens up so many possibilities for my work flow, instead of having to exit blender and go to painter then back to blender, i could just do this directly in blender! thanks so much for these videos, appreciate it.
Finding the mask with the Fresnel that way is curious and a little redundant (.503 value was already there) but this whole video is really worth the full viewing. It magnifies the importance of Normal maps for sure (cranked to 10.0 for extra texture crunchiness) but also opens a lot of power to landscape creation. RUclips pushed it to me. A rewarding watch!
This all looks very beautiful, but for a "tutorial", I think a lot of us could use a little more context regarding what these nodes do. I'm grateful for the video, and if I could make a siggestion for future similar tutorials, if you could slow down just .0001 % and give just a little more detail on what a group of nodes does as you create them, instead of just saying we need this, this and this, it would be way more useful for beginner and intermediate artists. The pros can probably see how it all fits together without explanation.
If only we could've endlessly paused, replayed and repeated lessons from our professors for practice in class when we were paying buttloads to try to learn stuff like this in the time-sensitive classroom environments we had to struggle and fail through back in the college days of old. The degrees we would've earned ourselves for that investment would've made things so much easier for us. Thanks to RUclips (and people like you) now we get to do it for free, at our own pace and from the comfort of our own homes. Just wish we had this option before putting ourselves in lifelong debt to go through that horrific career crippling experience. Thank you for this.
Outstanding tutorial. I tried this a while back and struggled about halfway through. I've been able to follow everything much better now that I'm not so new. 100% yes on a follow up to bake the displacement!!!
Viewer mode confusion @ 2:59. On the Fresnel Node press Shift/Ctrl and click the left mouse button. If it doesn't work go into Edit - Preferences - Addons and type in Wrangler and check the little box then go back to step one and it should work. Hope this helps. I'm new to this program and I was pulling what hair I had left out to resolve this lol.
Really wish I had a GPU that could even come close to viewing this realtime in viewport with cycles T_T It makes following along with this painfully slow otherwise
Exactly. For me, learning is not about doing this step or that step, but what each step does and how it relates to the other steps. Creativity starts living when the process is no longer the focus.
@@surajpreetham3107 Since the description under the title says: "Wayward Art Company 39K subscribers This video demonstrates the basics of generating a landscape with procedural textures.

The only thing I get from your reply to my comment is that you did not understand my comment, but thanks for your perspective.
Very nice. But in creating the mask at 8:20, would it not have been more effective to take the output of the color ramp and compare it to greater than zero? Also, clues on how to bake the masks so some sculpting can be done (add roads, etc) while still keeping the different heights separate could be interesting.
I received so much information from watching your tutorial, you are a good teacher going at an easy enough pace & with such good clarity that I, being a beginner, could keep up. Thankyou for that, it made me subscribe and I am anxious to learn more from you, and yes,,, I would like to see how you would do trees, vegitation and even some waterfalls on those islands.
Just in case, here is how to get the textures for the mountains he used. sorry. I can't post the link, so go to textures.com and search for cliff rock 3.
I don't get what you do with the Fresnel node. Looks like you use a shortcut and it gets connected to somehting, but is out of the screen so can't tell what it is / how to do it.
First enable Node Wrangler in the add-ons menu, then select a Fresnel node. Then, hover your your mouse over the Fresnel node and press Shift+Ctrl+LMB and it will automatically add the viewer node he mentions.
hey man i found the clouds that he used but i have no clue where to find the other ones, was wondering if you ever found them? ive got to find the teztures then work out how to get the images on to blender as he didnt really explain it lol
It’s pretty easy took me like 2 minutes. Just look at the images name there you will find the name of it “TexturesCom_CliffRock3” you can find under the name “Cliff rock” or by going to the 3D scans and going to rock and finding Cliff Rock 3
Awesome tutorial. One thing I experimented and found out. If you use a musgrave texture and mix rgb node in place of the color ramp used initially with the noise texture on the vector displace node, you get a similar effect, but I don't know how good that will be as color ramp looks better.
At first the shading tab made me want to quit blender but I start playing with it for a while and now I'm super comfortable with it and I can feel like I can achieve a lot
I loved the end result, but I'm only about 10 days into using Blender. This is definitely one to come back to once I'm more comfortable with the software.
I just download blender and I realize that I am not a qualified person to see this yet XD hope some day i will reach this level .. amazing result keep it up

This might not be a simple tutorial for beginners but to get a realistic mountain this is one of the best tutorials out there
I just started yesterday and was able to follow along pretty well. I just could not create a certain shader that he did but i worked around it.
