Thanks for the tutorial Johannes. Your landscapes are the best and it never hurts to learn from the master!

Nicely done!

Big thanks. Excellent tutorial.

See the new thread Tree Creation Tutorial because I want one to match this one. PLEASE.

Reading is easier than doing! Page 5/6--how to delete the 3 Terrain Layers? Page 9 ?which shader Channel and having Shader/Mixer can not find in the then currenty available dropdowns access to the Simple for the blender.

And wheres the trash can icon ref p300 of the C4 book? Have just spent 8 hours reading and trying to continue with this tutorial and finding things out most of which is a path of illogicality--and i'me just not illogical enough to follow the programme designers approaches. HELP!

The manual actually mentions what "Promote to Master" does. But it's only mentioned in regards to importing Amapi objects. It should be mentioned on the first page because it was the most important thing (other than the "Render" function) in the program.

(Shonner. I presume this response is related to another thread?) Found the trash can with the help of my wife "theres a funny little blob up there, might that be it?" Also, if I double click the Blender I get a differently detailed Insert drop down than from a single click--but still can not apply "Simple"

Great tutorial, I followed it very easily - but then I am very familiar with everything you did. Keep up the good work. It saves people a lot of time, especially those who are fairly proficient with Carrara. Not every tute is meant for beginners. Patrick

It is a very good tutorial, but it is maybe not for beginners. Some of the shader concepts were a little vague, and the measurements used didn't seem to match my Carrara settings (world is in inches, terrain is in miles, elevation is in thousands of feet..., and I'm not even sure where all those preferences are set). It did give me my first realistic-looking image with the new terrain modeller. Concepts like "add more bump for realism", and a comment mentioned outside the tutorial "darker skies mean you are at a higher elevation" are invaluable! Endless experimenting might not reveal those little tips. Thanks Johannes!

Patrick 210 I have done about 50 to 75 C4 landscapes but in trying to strictly follow the - I agree excellently produced-- tute, Ihave not found a way to get Carrara to accept the instruction to change the Blender to "simple". Are you saying you did?
