This was above all the others for the way you added fog and changed the light position. Excellent work.

Why is everyone saying this is so great? I have a really good computer with 32GB of ram, and unless I turn my settings all the way down to low, the frames drop to like 8-9 fps, and that gets rid of shadows, and really everything that makes this look good.

Great Tutorial - indeed! Thank you for uploading. I tried to delete some trees to create a clearing (place for a house) bit I did not have success. Any idea how to do it?

You need to add Self-prunning and Difference nodes in order to prevent trees and grass from spawning on each other.
