🌲[New Tutorial] Scatter Large-scale Forests in Blender
Hey Reader,
Zach here,
Ever tried creating a vast forest in Blender?
One of our recent tutorials covered just that, and it’s been a hit, with over 200k views.
In that previous tutorial, Martin Klekner taught you how to create realistic 2D billboards of trees, so you can create large scale forests in a very optimized way, while still looking stunning.
Many had questions about how to effectively scatter those optimized trees over a large environment.
So, that is what our new tutorial is all about:
In this tutorial, you’ll learn two scattering methods:
- First, using Blender's good old Particle System
- And second, using the power of Geometry Nodes
This tutorial uses some techniques from our comprehensive environment course for Blender.
However, the course dives deeper, offering a plethora of environment creation methods. Already, 7000+ students have leveled up their skills with this course.
