This is what I love about CGBoost more than any other teacher. It's not just "here's how to operate Blender." It's "here's how to create art with Blender." Even some of the pre-CGBoost-rebrand videos were things like "here's how to make concept art" and "here's how to organize your files on your disk", which I never see anyone else talking about.

Man, You're worth your weight in Gold!

[heyjude]

love your work, bro, I've learned some invaluable things from your tutorials, the price of the tutorial is very cheap compared to what you get if you spend the time.

Your couse is so so good, I watched all your videos, amazing. keep on

[szhamteck]

please make video about tips for making realistic environment closeup render

[Carlosruizart]

Great as always. It's amazing to see, the ease with which you use with Blender and I like how you develop these tutorials. Thank you very much for your advice. They help me learn more about creating landscapes with Blender. I congratulate you again for your work.😉

[migrantmemoirs]

Your videos are awesome, I will definitely take your course

[SvensContent]

Wow, amazing. I will definitely do this course. Unfortunately, I was too late, so the code does not work anymore. I hope you will have a new one in 2023. I subscribed your newslatter and hope I will get there soon a code :) Happy New Year.

This was quite helpful! I do have a quick question though, where do you get the images you use for the sky planes?

[DonaldDrennan]

Thanks for your tutorial! I would like to create some aerial views of not so epic landscapes, such as the farm lands of Ohio in the1920s. I am animating an airship and I want to create views seen from the airship or at about the same altitudes. Back when I was using Lightwave, I created a scene with a tiling landscape with atmospheric haze. Trees and crop fields I created using a texture bump map, and I made a few low poly houses, barns and silos to place in several areas. Now that I'm using Blender, I have a lot more options. I want to do something similar using different techniques for creating random farmland with roads with vehicles, rivers or creaks, lakes, scattered trees, different kinds of crops, telephone poles and lines and that sort of thing. Do you know of any existing addons that do anything like that? I know there are several scattering addons. It seems like this could be done procedurally. Some of it could be displacement like what I did before, and some things could be scattered. Geometry nodes might be helpful, but I don't know how to use them very well. Do you have any advice?
Thanks!

The final result is impressive, thanks for sharing your knowledge, one question: What capacity does your computer have? It is to have an idea of ​​how much my machine will suffer haha

[mosog]

@3:57 I think the best tool for concept is Nvidia GAN

[artikostudios]

What website/application do you use for the refference gathering noteboard?

[joelescudero]

Hi Martin, where can we find some big open field images such as one on 9:49? Thanks!

[Pigzel]
