bro how did you make a level in 5mint and make tutorial about it in 15 mint 😂

[@seabumbb3067]

Your presentation on Terrain3D is so much better than from the developers. I was totally lost with their videos and further confused with my own experimenting. Now, I get it! Thank you. Thumbs up and Subbed just for this video. Terrain3D does not really work for my immediate project (small project representing real-world scales which I cannot do, as far as I know, with Terrain3D), but it will work for my experimental and learning projects.

[@jddoesdev]

Thank you for checking it out and I'm glad you found it useful! The devs have a lot on their plates with the newer version of Terrain3D just being released. I'm looking at some of the differences and seeing how much of an updated video I need to do.

I am doing real world scale from gis height maps and it's working fine. Only thing I couldn't figure out was how to set the height map's resolution to get the correct size. So I had to manually resize the height and colour maps to a 1:1 ratio which works fine. Although this is only a problem if you're working with lower res maps like me.

[@seabumbb3067]

@@flinfaraday1821 Yes, that does work. I experimented with it and had similar results, but the area I need has no viable height maps which I could find, of any resolution, so I was left unable to go that route. I was very successful with other areas, particularly the USA western states which are more rugged than the coastal south I need to map.

Thank you sir. Your tutorial has helped me create my first ever map. I'm yet to go through part 2, but part 1 has helped me create a world I'm excited about. Especially since the tutorial that was created specifically for 3DTerrain doesn't show how to set it up and use it in a way that makes sense to me, your way was a gift! Thanks so much!

[@jddoesdev]

I'm so glad to hear that my tutorial helped you create your first map! It's always exciting to see your ideas come to life. Enjoy part 2 when you get to it!

Thank you so much for making this video. I literally ran into a bug yesterday where my textures were getting removed when switching from scenes and I had no idea. Whole time I was just using the plugin incorrectly. This video was right on time. Just subscribed!!!

[@jddoesdev]

Awesome! I'm working on one to go over some of the new features that were just released, but it's hard to distill it all down to a 10 minute video. So many great things!

[@mrjohnson9242]

Thank you for this in depth video, I plan on having my students complete a unit on 3D Environments next year and I will be directing them to this video!

[@jddoesdev]

That is amazing! I'm honored you'd even consider something I made for students. Thank you for watching!

[@mysterious_monolith_]

You're such a good teacher, that even though I had pretty much given up on GODOT and chosen Unity, I am still subscribing to your channel after seeing this video today.

[@jddoesdev]

Thank you, that means a lot and helps me want to continue making these vids. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@erkintek]

I wonder what made you give up 🤔

[@jddoesdev]

@@erkintek I haven't given up. I just appreciate the encouragement. I'm working on the next one right now.

[@JamminGameDev]

This looks really useful. I'm wanting to build out full procedural generation of large (50km x 50km) maps, which will be a significant challenge.

[@jddoesdev]

I don't envy you for trying that, but I'm glad this helped out. I believe Terrain3D has some documentation on procgen.

[@erkintek]

I think mistakes and how to correct them more valuable than bare how-to's. Because I know we'll make those and search hours

[@jddoesdev]

I completely agree. I try to leave a couple in, especially if I feel like it's a common pitfall that others may run into.

[@Lucas-gg9yb]

Great content! Can i add a cartoon shader to the terrain without losing its material properties?

[@jddoesdev]

I honestly don't know the answer to that. Check the Terrain3D docs. They are extremely helpful and thorough. The link can be found on the Github in the video description
