Making a Crazy Surreal Landscape in Blender 

Totally, I respect the donut guy but I only conquered my fears on using blender when I discovered Max tutorials.

I’m working on a GTX 790. You can do it

You can persevere, don't always think that you need to have the latest hardware to work, plenty of people do amazing stuff with very limited hardware and people have been making really cool renders many many years ago with slow gpu's or even on their cpu, be clever about your render settings, render only certain areas while you're testing things out, maybe batch 4 or 5 renders and leave your computer on at night so you have different camera settings to choose from the next morning, keep up at it and I'm sure you'll eventually be able to afford a new shiny gpu and you'll even appreciate it more once you have it, cheers!

@@qtshazehouse5345aint no way bro same lmaoo

Feel that had a 4 hour render came back and was like this looks like trash

same i suffer a lot i have intel hd igpu

Just right click it and hit assign shortcut

@@maxhayart Well Now I feel silly. I should have thought of that.

Oh weird. I'll try re installing it and see if that helps

You need to add Texture Coordinator and Mapping nodes in the Shader Editor to the material that you uploaded, and select UV in Texture coordinator, you can also try not to do full UV, but apply UV from the view, to do this, go to edit mode and press U, and then select Project from View

@@lena_bnk Thank you so much. I used the 2nd option you gave because it looked like something similar Max used in the vid when he rotated it. Been pulling my hair out over this

@@Glasseyyy You are welcome) It is possible that yes, the Project from view (Bounds) is better suited to the type of scan for rotating and scaling the texture on the model

Thanks man! I’ve just been using images I’ve shot raw on iPhone

You can also just go to unsplash / pixabay etc to find free ones

You can try not to do full UV, but to apply UV from the view, to do this, go to edit mode and press U, and then select Project from View (Hello from Russsia;) ) dont forget select all verticles OR Project from View (bounds) try to experiment And don't forget to arrange the view of the object so that the texture falls like paper on a bottle

@@lena_bnk THANKS FOR THIS BROTHER

@@lena_bnk I just wanna say you helped me as well with this texture issue ! You the best ! :))

You can add that option to your "Quick favorites". Click "F3", search for 'Display as',>'Bounce'; right click 'Add to quick favorites' (i think).

for real man, these small details missed in tutorials always ruin tutorials for me, end up searching google for like 30mins

@@lindenknights88 Many of Max' tutorials are really for late beginners (?) to intermediate Blender users. However I learned a lot with his tutorials by rewatching them + 'trial and error'.

I can follow along, but every now and than there are hotkeys that people use that I haven't used before, like this exact one@@sir3337

If you find the option in the object properties you can right click (I think, not at my pc at the moment) on the option and choose to set a new shortcut and you can choose whichever key you like as the shortcut. Hope that helps!

uv unwrap it

bake the high poly(The one he made) onto a low poly version. basically faking the crevasses and bumpy look. use substance painter for baking

output > render region. ctrl + b to render a specific region

Try setting the dyntopo to constant detail and choose a value like 20 or something of the sort. Also remember to apply scale and turn on statistics in the overlays menu(the 2 circle in the top right) to keep track of poly count. Hope this helps!

@@kingpennotch8151 Thanks for the tips!! I appreciate it. I'll give them a try later today 👍

Could be the ambient occlusion. I'm having the same issue. Every time I go into rendered view, my blender keeps on loading kernels and crashes. In smaller scenes setting the shading to 'smooth' helps but in bigger scenes, the ambient node always seems to cause problems. (Same for the bevel node) I'm still looking for a solution cuz almost every tutorial for shading includes edge masks or the pointiness node. It really sucks because I want to level up my shading game but no one seems to have this issue.

@@sennedelathouwer6878 Yeah it's the ambient occlusion for me as well. Had the same issue in another project when using the same method. No idea how to fix it. Maybe just paint edge wear manually 💀

@@vf3d hahaha could be a solution but I doubt it would be efficient 🤣

You need to uv unwrap it. You can probably just use cube projection or smart uv project

@@maxhayart I see, I'm new to this, it seems to work properly now. Thanks for helping out! :)

hi, not sure if this is still relevant, but I had a similar problem with the two versions of Blender that I use, and I found the following solution (not sure if it's correct, but it worked for me) - go to the "UV Editing" tab -> go to edit mode -> select your entire mesh -> press U -> "Cube Projection" (or "Project from View", for example). and then scale it to your taste (you can adjust it in the shader editor using the "Mapping" node)

dont know if it helped him but it helped me so now i love you@@nihillost

@@nihillostit saved me

its another 3d viewport, in it put on render viewport shading, disable gizmo, disable show overlays, disable show header

and make sure ur on active camera on that viewport

@@vs22q alright thanks

For 3d very bad

I was screaming that lol

same here cant even pay attention in school. anyway he needs to release a tutorial

Not sure if this will help you but ambient occlusion only shows up in Cycles, not Eevee. So if you're in material preview mode or your render settings are set to Eevee then you won't see it!

also make sure it's on the 'normal' not the base color/roughness
