The Best Way To Create Nature In 3D

[@CGGeek]

hope everyone has a blast creating 3d nature! and if u pick up my nature essentials assets I'll luv u forever 💚

[@hardwire666too]

Also decent shortcut for some of this is to use import image as planes and just use the knife tool.

[@CGGeek]

@@hardwire666too works, but results in an Ngon instead of clean topology - so bending and twisting the grass blades could look bad then. But the knife tool works great at taking the grass and making a cut lawn version!

Wayyyy better! Its my go to now

One of the best easy nature tutorials... Not new.. But a new way of doing it still.. Makes it easier and quick to have simple nature assets either as background element for product shot scenes or for anything else... Really cool

[@flow_leit]

Damn, very straight forward, pedagogic, easy, realistic and very high quality tutorial. I wasn't even looking for this ! (For once KZbin algorythm works well) and i don't even use blender, just C4D. But this is the perfect workflow to adapt. Really cool video !

more like twigs in this scene 😅

6:05 im having issues here for some reason when i select the first type of grass it really works perfectly well but when i try to add a second type of grass ( variation ) it bugs and becomes gigantic and crooked I can’t figure out why ?? 🤔 Note: when it becomes gigantic and I try to reduce its scale it multiples in many small grasses but the rotation is weird because it’s so messy that i can’t figure out a solution

Thank you very much man. There’s people who can’t afford premium courses like yours, so giving this for free is just gold for us. Thanks again!

I get that! Was definitely there early in my career as well :)

[@elitely6748]

Being early for a new CG Geek video is always great. The tutorials are fantastic so incredibly helpful for everyone!

This officially killed any particle system approach to this in the future, thank you so much!

[@dustybikes86]

super cool, just this week i feel like i've grown in understanding of blender enough to actually understand everything you did here. This is a great project I definitely will try because it is just advanced enough that i will learn from it, but not too advanced that i will get frustrated and fail at lol!

[@ClearTheRubble7]

Another great tutorial, CGG! I used it to scatter scraggly, yellow/green grass in a desert setting, and the scene "popped!" Now I've got to work out the sagebrush, cactus and tumbleweeds! 🤠

[@animaster360]

I too had used gscatter but for the plants instead of modelling them i used a free plant library by the people at geo scatter(not g scatter )Setting up both the addons is a bit challenging but once you are done. You have a variety of different biomes to chose from

[@anonymouxx9261]

also.. i have been looking for this video for such a long time i wanted to know how to create nature cuz i had ideas but no tools and gscatter is gonna be so helpful :D thank u!! thas why u're always epic!

[@gaudok3281]

Been a long time since I have watched blender videos, used to be obsessed with your videos, but couldn't remember your name so I straight up searched blender grass and your channel popped up, no kidding

Can u permanently add some assts to the gscatter library or do u need to add them every time u need

[@simoncodrington]

Fantastic video mate. Loving these little practical vids showing exactly how to get this stuff going

[@batman3698]

life hack: Install the addon images to planes. add in loop cuts (control R), and use knife tool (k) to trace the shape of the strand. It's a faster way to make the strand models and gets them textured directly. It's also a good idea to bunch the strand images together into a single texture to save video ram.

[@benjidoggo5405]

Yoo, that's what I found out AFTER I did this tutorial! I did a fern leaf instead of grass and it took a long time to do .

[@inspirationproductions4020]

Hello, I am having an issue with the grass during the 3:00 mark of the video as it shows you moving the grass pieces indiviudally, but when I try to copy that the grass bends with the grass blade I am trying to bend.How do I fix this issue?

[@harpoonlobotomy]

Under the 'proportional editing' button, make sure you've checked 'Connected Only'. That should fix it.

[@pouleto1]

Amazing tutorial and execution. Very clear even for a newbie like me. I was just asking myself if there is a way to animate the grass that it blows in the wind? Do the normal physics like "force field" work with the grass if it is made that way?

[@theterminado8638]

Saving this for my upcoming animations

[@bigsky7617]

I'm looking to make a cinematic car scene in the mountains or the countryside, most of it at high speed but some at slower speed. Are the assets in your pack light enough to make a large scene, for long cuts or far-away shots? I know it says good for scattering, but I tried Biome Reader before finding this and the grass levels immediately bog my machine down (12900kf, 3080ti, 32gb). Any tips you have for making a light but realistic background for this would be greatly appreciated. I've looked a little at 2D for the distant meshes, but I'd like some good looking stuff for slower close-ups. Thanks for everything you do, I think I'm going to grab the pack just because!

[@The_Shoebill3D]

very useful! One question though, is there any way to unwrap the plane so that you have to do less UV editing? After projecting from view, I always wind up spending 20 minutes at least editing the UV's so the textures look right.

[@sebastianodibusti]

amazing way to make ambients bro, thnx a lot!

[@MadTwistCGStudio]

@CGGeek Can I use blender for photorealistic Archviz or I am better of with 3ds max and corona in terms of speed needed to acheive photorealism?

[@sr1488]

Hello, I am an archviz artist and the reality is you can use whatever. HOWEVER max is significantly faster to get going with archviz considering the archviz assets available are pretty much always set up for max and corona/vray. That being said I use redshift because I prefer the render speed and I have a lot of conversion scripts set up so it's not too bad. The big issue you will run into is scene optimization, blender kind of falls apart at larger scenes and max can handle really massive scenes with no problem. That + how many good archviz tools are made specifically for max makes it much more streamlined. But if you only have access to blender you should still get into it that way, you will still be able to make really good projects- just harder to expand your operation if that makes sense.

[@pingpong1585]

Gscatter not working on blender 4.1

[@blenderarchviz]

Good tutorial.But in nature every grass mesh will have different color hue ,saturation and brightness wich you can randomize by object id node to get same result .So your grass will be more realistic by this way and not so flatish green carpet ))) Just search some tutorial "How to randomize mesh color of multiple object by object info"

[@noahlmatos]

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaaa

[@adam-xo4xv]

to optimise this you really should be heading into a photo editing software, aligning all of these grass blades together on one 1028x1028 canvas, just by cropping out the useless white background. you can then have all the UV's within 1 grid, 1 texture and saving you a hell of a lot of texture space.

[@LiminalLo-fi]

Hey running into small problem with the grass extending outside of the plane mesh causing for some messy floating clovers in my planter boxes. Any idea what might be causing the issue? Your video the grass all stays within the square plane mesh.

[@leodjondo3489]

Isn't this method resource/performance expensive?

[@CGGeek]

Actually no! in testing using alpha maps with less vertices results in slower rendering times and poor results especially in eevee.

[@planbuilduse5994]

Great video! Concise and to the point. I love it.

what about trees? will the tree pack be updated as well/eevee?
