  This add-on is great!
  I manage to work with a gtx 1070.
  For biome shaders it is possible to set 1k for the viewport and 2k or 4k for rendering.
  I coupled this add-on with the Nisarga ultimate add-on which provides a very complete and good quality asset collection.
  With a few hours of learning you can very easily have very good results!

  Great addon, works smoothly with your own textures too .. I´m creating real life terrains with contour lines and sculpting and then using this addon for making it look realistic. It´s amazing, it surprises me in a good way on every step. It is simple to use, yet you have control over so many attributes and I never encountered a single crash. It helps you to create your art work xx-times faster. Thank you for creating such excellent addon.

  Love this so far but I am having an issue when placing trees. It seems when I delete the trees in the scene section of blender and then respawn them, True terrain wont respawn them. Am I doing something wrong here? I am using Cycles.

  This is a great product, I had trouble with placing trees and when I went onto their discord I got an instant response. I am someone who knows barely anything about computers and they were very patient and helpful. Would highly recommend

  It's a very good addon but it needs more tutorial I hope, thanks for this good stuff

  I don't like this product. I've been hesitant to review it, as I know it's complex, and needs some study to make work properly. That said, straight out of the box, adding a second ground shader grinds my computer (a very fast PC) down like accidently adding 10,000 grass particles to a scene. So, I can use a ground shader and a cliff shader without wrecking things. There's no reason 3 materials mixed on a landscape should even vaguely slow things down. I even use the speed up shader option. I routinely model in Evee with many 4k materials, lights, fog etc, because I enjoy doing so, and my computer can easily handle it. As a matter of fact, the only thing at all that grinds my computer down is complex water shaders and thousands of particles. But even if I just use 2 shaders on a landscape, the resulting mix is often jaggedy, as though it's somehow applied per triangulated face. Other mixers don't do this. There's a terrain mixer for sale here for $1 that does a beautiful job of slope mixing right out of the box. My point is, if I need to study this product more to solve those basic issues, I don't want to. On to the spawned assets. Agin, out of the box, I had to fix an issue with them floating. You need to drill down to the offset slider and set it to zero. Why? Another very popular nature asset set on this site spawns nicely on the ground, no need to adjust anything. It's also exetremely heavy. I mentioned that earlier concerning the 3 ground materials mixed. Just be warned that my extremely fast PC that has few issues with anything stumbles on this. Other people seem to love it. Shoulder shrug. I have Pro, the latest edition as of Sept 30, 2021. It seems to be somewhat overstated in the demo video. Just my constructive, well-considered thoughts.

  Hi Doug,
  As you mentioned in your review, you're using Eevee... We explicitly state that this addon is not for Eevee and Eevee will cause slowdowns when mixing materials. This is because Eevee cannot handle complex shader trees.

  In that respect, the one star is a bit irrational as you're grading the product on a feature its not built for.

  If you'd have ever contacted us, then we could have made this clear and helped you work through any issues that you've had, but we've never had any contact from you whatsoever.

  I do appreciate your comments however, as its a valid argument for making it clear not to use Eevee, so in that respect, thank you for your comments. Rating is still a little low in all fairness though..

  Kind regards

  Rich

  This is a very nice add-on !

  I purchased the ULTIMATE version. I believe it's worth more than the price.
  Great documentation and tutorial videos.
  It was easier to operate than I had imagined, it was lighter in operation, and I got great results.
  I haven't tried water yet, but I'm looking forward to it !

  I'm Japanese and I want to introduce it to Japanese Blender users, so I'll write it in Japanese as well.（私は日本人で日本の人にも紹介したいので、以下は日本語で書きます。）

  What I actually found out after using it.（使っていて気が付いたこと）

  1. eevee でも結構いい感じの結果が得られる。ただしDisplacementは効かない。なので、eeveeだと、のぺっとした仕上がりになる印象。
  2. Cycles -> Experimental -> GPU Compute
  　Subdivision ->Dicing Rate Render(6.00 px) & Max Subdivisions(8)は（1920×1080設定では）必須設定。レンダリング時間が大きく変わる。
  3. Assets -> Trees -> Ultra はレンダリングがとても重くなる。ハングすることもある。Medium 品質で十分な場合が多いと思う。※木は草や岩に比べ結構重くなる印象。
  4. Pure-Sky と組み合わせてCyclesでのレンダリングは非常に厳しい。（Pure-Skyのボリューム関係のノードがCyclesではだめなのだと想像。Pure-Skyで太陽光源の位置だけセットし、World設定をPureSky以外のものに切り替えたりなどすると結構いい感じになったり。）
  5. カメラの焦点距離にこだわった方がいい。Blenderは標準で50mmになっているけど、風景としては望遠すぎるので24mm などがよいかと。7mmなどにすると壮大な絵になります。
  6. Pure-Sky はeevee 前提のアドオンだと思いますがTrue-terrain もeevee はまぁまぁいい結果を作ることができるので、夕焼けや明け方などではPure-Skyと組み合わせる場合に限り、eeveeの方がかなり良い絵作りが可能です。
  ※クリップサイズに注意。Blender標準のカメラのクリップサイズは、0.1～1000m ですが、Pure-Sky は10～40000mを前提としています。なのでTrue-terrain の前景・近景も見せつつ、Pure-Skyの雲を見せたい場合は、0.1～40000mということになります。クリップサイズの幅がかなりひろくなるので、レンダリング時間が多少伸びます。そこはいろいろ設定で対処。
  7. Assets -> Trees(Rocks) -> Place とし、Click to Place すると、木（や岩などのアセット）を置いていけますが抜ける時はESCキーで。抜けないと操作するたびにアセットが置かれます。※最初これで結構はまりました。

  以上です。
  Pro-Lighting: Skiesも購入して試してみようと思っています。

  Thank you creators for the wonderful add-on !

  Wow, these low ratings here and their comments are so unfair. If anybody is here to check the rating, please read the reviews of folks who gave it a 1 or 2 star. You'll notice that none of them - as far as I can tell - are fair or make sense.

  This addon is fantastic, and even if there is an issue, you can message the developer or join their discord and ask your questions.

  I'm happy with the purchase!

  I just love everything about this add-on! Appreciate the in-depth YouTube tutorials and documentation. Only thing I really would love to see is a a bunch more tree species, a few more sand textures especially for deserts, dunes and dry lands + one or two textures for salt lakes / salt flats for grounds. Other than that I'm super happy with those realistic results!! Very impressive =)
