Creating a VAST Landscape Scene in Blender

[@MarCuseus]

It's even better in motion. Well done.

[@HeadFlyyy]

would be better if you rendered the foreground separately with a higher subdivision cuz it looks very low poly on the left side

[@edinspiegel]

Hmm true - youre right!

[@lucasdigital]

Great results! I bought 3rd-party add-ons True Sky and True-Terrain, which are great, but this video demonstrates that almost all Blender add-ons are time-savers and provide convenience rather than unique functionality. Vanilla Blender can usually do it.

[@edinspiegel]

Thank you! yeah honestly I also tried true-terrain at first - but I completely overlooked the "erosion" feature - so I switched to the height map method - but probably for the next landscape I'll use the true terrain! but for sure vanilla blender can do it most of the time, if you put enough work in.

[@caleldonini]

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!! You earned my sub 🥲

[@apatsa_basiteni]

Damn. That grass looks good, I want to go there and touch it lol

[@agyab3d]

it turns out really good ❤

[@khalilicf]

Looks so niceeee

[@kidgeorgegreenery]

You'd benefit from True Terrain, they do simple height map blending

[@savagesauron4147]

Great job. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@trew64]

great work

[@stevensteverly]

Love this! But in all seriousness, does it even count as a blender tutorial if you don't show me how to install node wrangler for the 1 000 000 000th time?

[@edinspiegel]

Thank you! ahaha - yeah uhhh I should add that for sure next time XD - otherwise people might forget how to... but seriously - I wonder, do people use these videos more as entertainment, or as tutorials? - I try to aim for some sort of edutainment - but Idk if that works :-)

[@JunoInfinity]

Never before have I seen the truth spoken so hard

[@videopro__]

@@edinspiegel this is more like edutainment for me 😂

[@RenderRat]

He never claimed it to be a tutorial!

[@stevensteverly]

@@edinspiegel I use them for a bit of both I'd say!

[@RenderRat]

Nice work again, where do you get your tree library?

[@edinspiegel]

Hey! Thank you! The trees are from the botaniq library.

[@moostar109]

The Plants and Mountains look pretty good. The only thing that puts me off ist the Houses, they seem to be at an angle. Also some Roads/bigger Paths would make it more beliveable. A Bridge would fit the scene too.

[@PatrickDaniels]

I like your stuff. I'm always looking to learn something for each scene I do, not just use the same techniques I'm already familiar with. What, if anything, did you press yourself to learn for this?

[@edinspiegel]

Thank you! I'm glad! I'm not really sure - I usually don't set out to learn something before each project - but I am always open to learning - so that means, if I have to learn something to complete the project in the way I want to, I will. but for this project - I don't really know If I used anything new - perhaps... It's my first time making a passable looking village - and also the best landscape I've made so far - but I don't really know if that qualifies. also, it once again highlighted the importance of lighting, and keeping at the project even if you feel like it's looking bad. - at the 3 day mark I was considering just scrapping the whole project - and ultimately I'm glad I stuck with it. Idk if that answers your question - I hope that helps!

[@sprinkles7912]

for interest sake would that be game ready?

[@moostar109]

The botaniqe Library is not recommendable for games. They have a pretty high poly count and the smaller shrubs are also 3D modelles and not Billboards. It could work with Nanite in Unreal but not for Unity or Godot.

[@sprinkles7912]

@moostar109 😊 ty

[@CGToonStudio]

How do you render in layers and bring it in Da Vinci Resolve? any tutorial?

[@edinspiegel]

Hey! I actually didn't bring the layers over to resolve - I just manually masked them out, and tracked the masks to the footage.

[@CGToonStudio]

@@edinspiegelOkay, I got it Thank you very much.

[@khalilicf]

There are plenty of tutorials of how to render in passes and composite them either in Blender or Davinci Resolve

[@CGToonStudio]

@khalilicf But there is not a single proper one video explaining everything.

[@khalilicf]

@ True, i still find it very confusing so ive never bothered learning it

[@Starius2]

why not just type "11" in the first subdivide instead of having two subdivides?? That really really confuses me....

[@agyab3d]

am watching u🧐

[@edinspiegel]

Haha - I honestly have no idea XD - it would also just work the way you describe it.
