I've been trying to recreate sand dunes for a long time, looking up for different resources to see how others achieve the dunes' shape, and yours is the best and most realistic and better looking approach. Awesome tutorial, thank you!

[@eyedesyn]

Oh nice that's super awesome to hear thanks for watching and glad you found this helpful!!

[@LoganPinney]

Yes 3D Bossman!! Always so excited to see new tuts from you. Awesome set up here & Thanks for the discount code :)) I'd be miles behind where I am now without your courses. The SOM community has really helped me create a network of friends and colleagues. Thanks so much for all the knowledge you share with the motion design community. Procedural puggo for the next tut pls lol ;)

[@eyedesyn]

Logan thanks so much for kind words as always!!!! Appreciate you trusting me with your learning journey and its crazy how far youve gotten from zero 3d to rocking it in the world of Unreal! Proud of you, bruv!!!

[@MrBeaun]

Fantastic tutorial! As always, I left with more knowledge than was promised in the title!

[@eyedesyn]

Glad you liked it! It's a bit beefy so thanks for sticking through it to the end hehe

[@IlyaAndreev-1]

Great tutorial! Thank you ! Landscape and environment that's what we need 👍

[@eyedesyn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BlackForLife09]

Amazing tutorial.....thanks heaps mate!

[@beMOTIONdESIGN]

VERY helpful for me as I'm just learning Redshift. Thank you for this!

[@eyedesyn]

Awesome Ben! Def reach out if you have any questions!!!

[@harrisonvincent2192]

Ahh yes, the perfect tutorial at the perfect time! Needed this, thanks homie.

[@eyedesyn]

Very welcome, brother!!!

[@yeoldebrian]

Thank you, I learned so much! And I hope they get the C4D material into the s26 material editor soon too!

[@patrickpax3D]

Very cool tutorial! I took the idea of a procedural desert landscape creation a little further and created a whole generator with which the user can create a desert in just a few clicks. Thanks for your inspiring videos!👏

[@eyedesyn]

Oh super cool!!!

[@Serenke3]

Thank you!

[@SamWelker]

Looking great EJ!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Sam!! Much appreciated!

[@ididzy]

I love you. And I would've loved you more if you made octane tutorials as well. Please do them! 😭😭😭

[@eyedesyn]

I don’t use octane unfortunately! Maybe someday I’ll get back into it 😄

[@harshaan8984]

THANK YOU EJ! Also, the C4D shader is full of magic so I really do hope they can optimize it for redshift. Imagine real time layer shaders 😲

[@eyedesyn]

I hope they port everything over! Thanks for watching!

[@VincentFink]

@@eyedesyn did they port everything over?

[@btmathews415]

Excellent techniques

you rock Ej , see you in c4a this session

[@eyedesyn]

Heck yeah can’t wait to see you in the Square!!!!

[@mixergamer3560]

EJ JUST AMAZING🥰🥰

[@jackh8719]

This tutorial is great, hope to see one created using C4D + Octane

[@fullbars]

I second this. Really want to see this as a Octane tutorial

[@eyedesyn]

If you check out the Mars Landscape tutorial in Octane on my channel you may find similar techniques that you may be able to use for this!

[@mgalbu]

Great stuff as usual! I use both Redshift and Octane and the wavy lines part would have been so much easier in Octane. It has its own native pattern generator so there's no need to mess with those old C4D surface shaders and all that. Cheers, M.

[@eyedesyn]

Oh nice thanks i didn’t know that Octane has it’s own pattern generator! What is the node called? I’d love to check it out!

[@mgalbu]

@@eyedesyn It’s called Custom Pattern, it’s very well implemented and has great presets to have fun with. Cheers, M.

[@user-zx1bz3eu9y]

thank you!!!)

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@Banana-eg1dr]

I'm maya Redshift user. There aren't many tutorials with Redshift but I got a lot of ideas from your c4d tutorial.

[@eyedesyn]

That's awesome to hear that this can also apply to your Maya workflow!!

[@hakambakr9363]

nice work is in c4d

[@davehedgehog9795]

Helped greatly. Thank you!

[@eyedesyn]

Glad to hear it thanks!!!

[@normanpitts6652]

Ur the best

[@eyedesyn]

You’re awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@ssjenforcer191191191]

Alternatively you could use a plain effector on point mode? I like that method and use fields to alter the landscape. Is one method easier to use than the other?

[@eyedesyn]

You could use the Plain + Shader Field and load up the shader in point mode but you’d have to make sure you use a high poly mesh. Using a Bump Map allows you to make the waves without worrying about geometry density!

[@user-rg8uk7nz9u]

I just want to say one thing: Oh My God!!!!!

missed u my guy.

[@eyedesyn]

Missed you to brother, youll be seeing more of me!

[@m4r_art]

EJ you have made such vast contributions to VFX artists' understanding of Cinema 4D that if the company has any merit and empathy, they should totally MJ Hassenfratz you into their hall of fame. Thanks a bunch for all your tuts across the years!

[@eyedesyn]

Wow thanks for such an amazing comment!!! Really appreciate your super kind comment! Appreciate your support!

[@Robwearsglasses]

I second you comment! EJ you are a gem of the 3d/motion community!

[@mohabkarim]

Can you please make a tutorial about water animation in cinema 4d

[@danilocoelho9915]

Even after have transitioned to Blender, I miss EJ videos. They are such easy to watch.

[@eyedesyn]

That means a ton!!!! Hey maybe I'll finally learn Blender someday and you'll see me on the dark side of the force hehehe. AND MY TUTORIALS WILL BE FREE! :)

[@sergiomarchelli]

That's why I didn't transitioned to Blender! C4D is perfect!

[@aurelienruiz]

is it possible to have the same tuto for octane ? :)

[@donross7820]

A Reference Node allows you to use the new node system and the C4D Shader. Also, a keyboard shortcut for Solo Node (I use Command+Return) can be really handy. Thank you! This is full of great techniques.

[@eyedesyn]

Reference Nodes are HUGE! I just hope that they port over the C4D Shader - otherwise you have to keep digging into multiple materials vs just the one with the old shader system which is why I opted to not use the Reference node route! And I agree with the short cut keys - another awesome benefit of the new node system is the easy solo buttons! Thanks for watching, Don!

[@bbrachman]

EJ: Can you do the same scene without Redshift? Been using C4D since V6 and I have never needed any outside renderer. I only do product renderings for retail buyers. (Besides, I now have free Redshift with R26 but it confuses the heck out of me) PS: Your heat shrink cellophane video and your Object/Mesh Builder video are my go to reference for packaging.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks Bruce glad my tutorials have been helpful! So for this you can use the native renderer since most of the work I did was with the C4D Tile shader. It’ll just be a lot slower to render in physical/ standard

[@bbrachman]

@@eyedesyn I was told (by Maxon) that R26 Redshift is CPU only. So, it is inherently slow without its normal use of the GPU. I cannot afford to buy Redshift and really have never needed it for product renders. Just good enough for Walmart buyers to see what the product might look like.

[@JonathanWinbush]

🤙🏾

[@eyedesyn]

What up what up!!!!!

[@randomtopology]

you can also use one displacer with a layer shader to get stack noises, right?

[@eyedesyn]

Totally!

[@rodneypitts7299]

Do a a.i art workflow tutorial pls

[@eyedesyn]

That’s a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@laurenmoore1237]

Its been a year, has Maxon ported the c4d shader node over yet? Could I create the material for the sand using the new redshift node system?

[@laineb123]

Hey this might be delayed, but I found out that there is a Distorer node in redshift, which you can drive a tile texture into it and then in the distorter port pipe in a maxon texture then play with the amount!

[@charles007k]

jesus that viewport render is so fast! what kind of GPUs are you running?

[@VincentFink]

desperately looking for how to do this with native render or Arnold render, without using Redshift or other fancy plugins. ;(

[@eyedesyn]

arnold needs a maxon shader!

[@TimandLauren]

Hey EJ, Is Octane faster now than Redshift for rendering? -Nvidia GPU user here

[@eyedesyn]

Depends on how you use it but overall redshift is faster

[@lolthisnerdsaidmemes]

Ayy it's been a while!!..

Ayyyy good to be back! :)

No?
