Important Gaea 2 Settings and Things To Be Aware Of

[@AndoXR]

I can't seem to find out how to unlock the 'advanced' tab in the gaea options. using the most recent version 2.0.4.0

[@jayantbhatt007]

I just installed 2.0 in the beginning it was looking the overall UI, now I'm liking it. Now the older version looks trash and outdated lol. Btw thanks dude

@@jayantbhatt007 thanks, yea I do think it was quite the switch but once you get used to it it's quite nice. I do like the improvements to the node search, makes adding nodes that bit faster

[@LIGHTNING132YTG]

I see a lot of videos mention the Arboreal Node, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Are there Nodes exclusive to the paid versions and is Arboreal part of it?

[@kiwivi21]

@@LIGHTNING132YTG there should be an aboreal node in community version as well as there aren't any nodes you can't use for it. If you are using gaea 2 then it is called trees now, otherwise make sure you are on the latest build you can be of gaea 1 just in case. Hope this helps and you can find it

I just bought gaea 2 (indie for now) and at the moment it is SUPER buggy. I spent a full week where I couldn't even open the options menu without it crashing immediately. (their support take a LONG time to get back to you if you have problems) IMO this software is not ready to be released to the paying public. you're basically paying to be a beta tester and when you run into problems their support is lacklustre to say the least. I really like node based workflows but for now it's back to world creator for me because I just can't trust this thing not to randomly crash

[@kiwivi21]

@@chemicalBR0 that's fair, I can't say I have been running into as many issues myself but that isn't great. The support team does seem hella bogged down though, hopefully not too long before everything evens out

[@chemicalBR0]

@@kiwivi21 I do prefer the workflow of gaea compared to world creator and gaea seems to produce more beleivable realistic results than WC (especially in the texture workflow). I can see that it has huge potential for my needs but it's just not there yet in terms of stability. it would have been cool if they had kept a legacy version (1.3 or whatever) for people to download and use in the meantime because right now I feel like I'm stuck with software that just doesn't work as intended.

[@kiwivi21]

@@chemicalBR0 completely agree, I believe they have plans to put gaea 1 back on the website at least till gaea 2 gets more stable but not sure when that's planned to happen. Definitely looking forward to gaeas increased stability though as that's really the only thing holding it back

[@peterbelanger4094]

The release candidate (2.0.0.16) wouldn't even install for me. It set off my antivirus!!! I feel like Quadspinner ripped me off!!!!

[@kiwivi21]

@peterbelanger4094 damn not too sure whats caused that, worked fine for me. Flick a message to the support and hopefully they can get it working for you soon

[@scutteh]

That's what the options menu looks like :D At the moment it still crashes for me. A little unstable in this current build. Some quite cool additions now I'm a bit more familiar with the new UI

[@kiwivi21]

Ah the crashes can be quite painful. The new ui and overhaul paired with the speed of gaea 2 is quite awesome, cant wait for them to improve stability and add in the missing nodes

[@Native_Creation]

Mine was crashing extensively as well

[@kiwivi21]

@Native_Creation yea have been hearing a lot of people running into crashes. As mentioned in the video normal and clay renderer crash but would be interested in trying to find other definite crashes (definitely are a lot of random ones as well)

[@LudvikKoutnyArt]

The UI still looks as laggy and clunky as Gaea 1 :/

[@kiwivi21]

I think once they get everything going and fix the bugs and crashes, it is better outside of some minor things
