  I use a GTX 730 Graphics card. Old, I know. Product just crashes! Beware

  Hi James,

  I'm sorry you're unhappy with the product. I'm a bit upset that you didn't contact me before hand about this.

  That being said, your card is 6 years old and has 1gb of video ram. A standard system on windows alone would use close to 50% of this just running a HD monitor and blender open. I don't think it's fair to place such a poor review on a product because your system has trouble rendering 4k textures.

  I'd have been able to help you address rendering issues and give you advice on how to reduce the amount of vram used.

  Awesome work ! Super promising addon, funny to use, super effective. The interface is easy to appropriate and the documentation precise enough to get started with this tool. Experience will therefore allows you to build some incredible landscapes.

  Moreover, the developper is a fantastic guy ! I had to deal with some problems, complex ones, and these were solved in under 24h. It's easy to communicate thanks to his discord, and there is an entire community ready to share and help.

  Can't wait for the forthcoming features !

  This could be a good product but a few things has to be done first.

  a) For PRB in Blender, al we need is a Albdo, Roughness and Normal map. Optionally we can also use displacement and AO map. This addon is using 4K for each map and is using all of them. On top of that there is another 4K map that is useless for in Blender and that is the specularity map. But that is for another workflow. Anyway, 5 times a 4K map for 1 layer of the material is over the top and very heavy. Tip: make this way more efficient. For example: get rid of the specularity map, you don't need it and give a choice to use 2K or 4K.

  b) Past year I did research about plausible albedo values. Around 60% off the textures are off qua albedo value. For example; forest root that look nearly like snow. I contacted the developer 2 months ago, but somehow he doesn't see the importance of it it looks like. How to solve this: Get yourself first a scene with perfect albedo values. That is your reference. Then design materials in it so you know if its off or not. (Subscribe for 1 monts Quixel Megascan for example just to get reliable reference.)

  Again the addon could be good, but as for now I am not using it: It's to heavy and the textures are off.

  Hey Robert, thanks for the comments. We made some changes to the method we capture images in, and have implemented HSL values now so users can adjust on the fly.

  We hope you're enjoying the new update! Thanks for your long term support

  I bought this a while ago, and though it was astonishingly powerful back then, I didn't end up using it that much, it just didn't get along with my workflow.
  So I was pleasently surprised to see just how much this amazing add-on evolved.
  The new interface is easy to use and delivers gorgeous results, and I'm just barely scratching the surface(Due to time constraints, not documentation. The documentation is remarkable)
  Creating environments has never been that easy.
  I'm really excited to see how this could even be improved further.
  Plus, I had bought it for 20$, and even though that is less than the LITE version and it would be perfectly reasonable and acceptable to just give me access to the LITE after it got tiered into LITE and PRO, I got access to the PRO version.
  Doesn't really add much to the quality of the add-on, but it's notable nontheless.

  Hi there,

  Could you please explain what you mean by this?

  I'm sure if you'd have contacted me for support then there wouldn't be a need for such an ambiguous negative review.

  Kind regards

  Gives incredible results if you follow the instructions. Takes a bit of time to learn the material tricks/nodes/adjustments, but is a mega time saver when you have the workflow set up. Also does take a bit of time to render in cycles.
  Looking forward to the updates, very happy with my purchase!

  Thank you for taking the time to write this Jeff, it's very much appreciated.

  I'm always looking at ways to optimise work flows, so if you have any advice or feedback, join us on the discord channel. You can find the link in the documentation page on this store front.

  I love this. I can generate mountains, water, rocks, and more. I'm using PC w/ GTX 980ti, 64GB Ram, SSD and AMD TR 1950x CPU, it does run smooth on my viewport w/ shader on, only thing missing i think is to generate pathway surface like road so i can import car and make it run around the terrain.

  Decent looking. Most particle items are worthless unless you can rotate them on the z axis to make them look different, otherwise you have a cluster of trees that have identical trunk shapes. You can rotate them in every direction except z, which is silly. Also, trees, plants and rocks default to emitting from both sides of the terrain mesh... again, ridiculous. Nice, I suppose, for creating deep background terrain that's out of focus, otherwise fairly worthless.

  Hi there,

  The trees can be rotated along the Z-axis, if you wish. You just go into the rotation tab, and enable object rotation under the render settings, as advised in the tutorials and help documentation. Also in this tutorial here where you can click the timestamps to skip to the particle settings: https://youtu.be/SOQEq-ZzbpE

  It'd be much better if you contacted me on the discord channel linked in the product documentation page, or via emails, before leaving a negative review about something, as I'm highly active responding to all queries.

  The trees are not designed to be used for close-up renders, as it's a terrain tool and not a tree addon. These assets are just to add more life to your scenes.

  Kind regards

  It's too heavy to edit the material. Much heavier than True Terrain 2.x.

  I have Ryzen 3700X and RTX 2080. After placing the terrain, setting the default terrain material and adding water, the viewport FPS drops to 3-4 in material preview mode. I cannot even display it on EEVEE.

  I know that the rendering quality is very good, but due to its bad performance, I can hardly create a scene.

  I would like some more "light" versions of this add-on, or some tips on how to get better performance.

  Hi Kei,
  Thanks for getting in touch.

  True terrain, is not a realtime tool, and was never designed to be. You can create scenes in this addon using eevee, there are certain modes that are not supported by Eevee. And this is what causes the sluggish viewport. Staying in cycles will stop this happening. The water also uses a volume, and this is also why you're viewport is slow with Eevee or the workbench engine.
