Easy Realistic Procedural Beach In Blender - Beginner Tutorial 

Thank you : D

Thank you : D

Thanks that was fast hahahaha

My pleasure, glad you liked it : D

Noted!

I pressed C for circular select. The island becomes fine most likely due to the light being to horizontal, thus not leaving any room for shadows making the lighting more ambient.

Thank you : D. Yes, i started doing that.

Message me on instagram and i will send you the file without the textures.

@AlternaVisionStudio Thanks, dude, I'm a 3D Max user of 29 years trying to learn Blender...it's SO different LOL!

@@williamminnaar6311 No worries, i use both, mostly 3Ds max for rendering tho, they can complement each other perfectly.

Doing that will require longer videos, at this point my channel is way too small to share videos that are equivalent to courses and that will kill the reach and no one will be able to actually find the videos. Once i have a good reach i will be making course like videos on youtube or high end scenes like the ones i have on my website and socials.

the Botaniq Addon : D

@@AlternaVisionStudio Great! would you mind to share with us the link of that?

Sure : blendermarket.com/products/botaniq-trees@@corsicroz5343

Whatever wave image you could find, you could also make tileable inside of photoshop.

Interactive meaning that it interacts with it's environment. If you add a rock or a ship it will interact with the water material based on the AO and make waves without you specifying it. Otherwise we could have just used the position output in the geomtery node based and used a separate xyz node or simply used a gradient : D It updates in real time as long as you are using cycle's in a fashion that resembles dynamic painting which indeed is interactive.

@@AlternaVisionStudio thats basically describing procedural workflow 😅 Procedural materials, meshes ect will always react to changes, but it's not what you call interactive

It is true what you said about about procedural materials reacting to change but they do within themselves and often are unaffected by different object. Let's take a procedural wood material and this material for example. You make your nice wood material using a couple of musgrave texture and it's all good but it wouldn't change it's look if we get something near or if we change the way the mesh is positioned. But in this case if we add a ship, a rock, or any objects it will "simulate" fake waves that interact and update with outer objects, even if you animate the ship for instance it will update. But if by interactive you mean it should it should adjust to the camera angle we can also do that, just wanted to keep this beginner friendly.

@@AlternaVisionStudiomate all my procedural materials react to their surroundings or shape changes. It's totally an artist joice to include this functionality or not. Interactive means you create an environment and then let others interact with it, demolish stuff, move items around, create new things ect, it also includes a controller of some sort to be considered as interactive. In your instance it's just an environment created with procedural materials, it has 0 interactivity. I've been working with interactive projects for many years so I know what is considered interactive and what is not.

I understand where it's coming but it's all semantics, more like game engine interactivity and 3D modeling offline software interactivity. If you ever want to share your environments or knowledge feel free to join our discord, i will be also sharing some "true" interactive unreal engine environment i did recently. @@povilaslondon

Thanks for the feedback, the screen record shows the full process without any jump (except when i had a crash) so the video is indeed complete. I do understand the frustration when following tutorials and they are a bit too fast, but consider slowing down the video or just messaging me on instagram or discord, where i even sent the scene file to people that asked without the textures of course, it's fine to not get the exact same result, as this is highly dependant on you and on the noise map seeds and lighting, which need to spend time polishing it for your own specific scene, the take away here was knowing how to use the AO node. Todays video will be way more advanced but its 45 minutes long so it might helpful, should be out in 2 hours.

Using simulations ? Sure why not in the future.

@@AlternaVisionStudio not simumation just faking simulation using modifiers and wave mod. etc because the simulation is blender sucks so cheating would be the good way around

I agree with you fluid simulations are a pain to work with, flip fluids but still. One way to fake waves is model their rough shape, so the appropriate shading and use cards to fake the foam. Simulation nodes could work but i am not as familiar with them.@@user-zd7cq8xq7y
