So much good stuff here, now I just need to watch another 10 times or so to start to get it!

[WalidDingsdale]

a cool walkthrough for GAEA 2, thanks for sharing this, looking forward to episode 3

[Igrom_Gamedev]

Great lesson, let's have the next lesson about combining biomes.

[OjalaStudios]

Fantastic video, very informative. However, I do believe a more in depth explanation would be more beneficial for those who just started using Gaea. The reason is that Gaea can be very overwhelming especially in the start.
How do you combine multiple transform into one combine node?

Keep it up.

Cheers

[Connor_auro]

Thank you so much this was very helpful for me.

I have to say - THIS.


GAEA is everything that the 3d modeling space has needed. It's intuitive, simple to use, fast, has loads of support, exportable universally, and is easy. Why is it so hard for blender and 3ds max and unreal to get right the simplicity and power that GAEA has achieved?

Great Tutorial, , , Waiting for next one

[timothy_b]

ur doing great work btw, just wanted to leave a comment

[Popkorn]

Great series! I was wondering, is there a way to use the maps to drive generators in different programs such as houdini or blender. Something simple for excample: Placing trees from the vegetagion map. I feel like this should be simple, but I wouldn't know how to "connect" the vegetagion map/generator to the heightfield of the environment.

Also the music choice is great, love Enderal.

Is there a way to use a draw tool on exisitng maps to manually lower and raise terrain? When I put an input into a draw node it's always just a flat map.

In the new Gaea how I can find the little dot to apply mask ecc

[Amorpoint]

You re a Geae 2 genuines, Thank you so much, can you teach me how to make detailed terrains, please?
