Create An Alien Landscape In 5 Minutes - Blender 2.8 Tutorial

[@whythovr6888]

Dude amazing tutorials. Thanks for not taking 30 minutes to show your process. Saves me a ton of time and I really appreciate it. Keep it up

[@846nick]

fastest and most straight forward tutorial ive seen especially on such a complex program

[@ravnOne65]

instead of using the displacement map as a node, use it in a displacement modifier, in that way you will have a mesh. This mesh can be used in eevee too

[@darrenalbansyah]

can you help,how do i control the height of the landscape in the displacement modifier?? im using eevee btw

[@kotyaraw]

@@darrenalbansyah use brightnes/contrast in color menu

[@marcotp9]

Can anybody help ? My displacement map are not as sharp as his , they look like low poly almost

Awesome! I can now make really cool space terrains!! Life is so awesome, blender is Awesome and Blender community is awesome! Thank You PopNerd.

dude you are so underrated this is so amazing!!! Thank you for the awesome tutorials and keep doing what you're doing

[@PopNerdStudio]

Thanks!! Much appreciated :)

[@PopNerdStudio]

If you use this tutorial & post your work on Instagram, tag me @astronautalpaca on the post and I'll share your post as well! Also, let me know if you have any questions or critiques. Edit: Many people have asking for how to do this in Eevee: Through modifiers! Add a subdivision surface modifier and a displacement modifier, and use the height map as the texture in the displacement modifier. Edit #2: I've added this in the description, but if you havent seen it, if neither of these links for the maps work (they've been working for some people and haven't been working for others), I'd recommend typing "Terrain Displacement Map" into Google Search & you'll find a bunch of images.

To see displacement in the viewport you can also use a displace modifier and add in the image there instead of having to stay on rendered view to see the displacement happen procedurally.

For the Atmosphere at 2:15, I found it a lot better to use a UV Sphere instead of a cube as you see a white outline when using the cube.

That's weird. Do you see the white outline when you render?

[@2006jakebob]

Honestly doing procedurally is probably easier and more modular. You can make some amazing landscapes this way

[@PopNerdStudio]

I wouldn't say it's easier because you'd have to more tweaking to get interesting results but it's definitely more modular & better for customization.

The techniques to use the assets to make are sometimes more important then modeling stuff, you could find a lot of tutorials on modeling a landscape but not much on actually using it in a real scenario, as someone that works in production on a regular basis this guy actually shared good stuff that beginners would find very use of

Hey Nice tutorial But when I click displacement and bump mine still stays flat

[@StarCourtesan]

[@damiensummers2764]

I did this tutorial. It took me two computers, b/c I was putting the wrong files in the Image Texture nodes, and therefor, it wasn't until I re-tried the tutorial on my lap top, was I able to pin point my error. Regardless, I tried to do a 100 frame animation, as though one were flying a drone over the surface, and that took about five minutes per frame. Can you give me any advice on how you would apply "moving camera's"? I know that's the sort of thing an VFX chip would render in a few seconds, but it would still be interesting to know how you would do it before shelling out several $1000 to buy one. Thanks again, great tutorial!
