Quadspinner Gaea beginners part 1

[@SlobboVideo]

This is great, thank you so much for making this, can't wait for the next parts.

Great tutorial, i bought Gaea when it was still in early access and it's fun to create terrains with it compared to other solutions like World Machine. It also has a lot of tools/nodes that speed up the workflow.

[@cowsmanaut]

Glad you are enjoying it. It's one of my favorites too! :)

Thanks, I try to keep putting new ones together, just a matter of free time outside of my work schedule :)

Is there any way for me to make a rolling hills style terrain? also great video 🙏

[@cowsmanaut]

yes, Perlin, set to billow, adjust scale, erode, set the downcutting stronger, then aperture. I have an example on my artstation I think www.artstation.com/artwork/EV1eon

@@cowsmanaut WOW, Thank you so much dude 😁👍 for this and for all your videos 🙏

[@cowsmanaut]

@@t4ky0n You will probably need to poke at settings to get what you want.. you can also reduce the Octaves of the perlin to help get a solid staring shape.. it should sort of look like your hills to start. the other two nodes are just to sweeten it up :D

Thanks for the tut man ! I have few questions : how do you animate and export it ? we have to move a slider then export each time the height map ? there is no other way ? can we create a map that is not square ? something like 1136x1920 px . or do I have to do some stitches on a 3d software ? Thanks !

[@cowsmanaut]

Animation tools are coming soon I think, I've not seen them yet, but I've seen the videos Dax posted of it in use. For no square you need to crop after you've baked the map. Using mask and transform tools it's pretty easy to keep things in the area you want to use. Then when done, you just cut out the section you don't want in Photoshop or Gimp or whatever image editor you use.

[@cowsmanaut]

I think non square sizes will be coming in a future release though, I know that has been talked about in the Facebook group, but it's not as high priority as some other tools.

think am just having a problem with real time i press layers the way you do, but the mesh doesn't change upon clicking like what's happening with you

[@cowsmanaut]

This is possibly a bug. There has a been a screen update bug that is solved by restarting Gaea. It is also possible there was a change to the node your are using, do you see an "update" button at the bottom of it? Some nodes require manual update to see the change.
