Title:?Skillshare – Texturing Terrains Using Images
welcome in this course you will learn how to texture terrains using images in World Machine. Because we’re after realism, We’ll texture a real terrain from the Nasa Satellite images, we’ll use images from nature, images of rocks, ground, and grass to texture this terrain. The part of how to create terrains from Nasa Satellite images is covered in a different course. This course focuses on texturing. I will show you where to find texture images, what kind of images you need, how to approach them, how to deal with problems in images, and how to apply them in world machine, to different part of your terrain. No colour nodes, just pure natural images.
One comment on “Skillshare – Texturing Terrains Using Images”
It was interesting to watch, but I feel like I didn’t learn anything. The end result is noisy af, because he’s basically using the noise from the photos instead of generating that noise and combining multiple different size noise nodes (and actually understanding how they work).
He’s like: “oh, don’t bother with any other color”. Dude… you can change the hue/saturation/value for whatever image you want, doesn’t have to be “dark brown”.
His English is ok, but it irks me when he pronounces “height” as “hate”. And using hi-res images from Mars, Venus, the fricken Moon! lol. Says that this way is “natural” at the beginning. Riiiight. For what planet, dude?? You might be better off grabbing some photos of terrains from Google Images (taken from a helicopter, satellite, etc) and overlaying them on top.
He says at the end that color nodes and colorizers are a waste of time. Well, I say that I’ve seen better tutorials on Youtube. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YwP0uVz44k
Not taking advantage of the flow map is a terrible idea. He seriously asked why people are coloring the flow when that’s just part of the mountain… Shows how little he knows about geology.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
