In part 1 of our Waterfall tutorial series, we start by modeling our terrain, than go on to model and texture some realistic looking rocks, and trees!

Ok this was a really great tutorial. This video is so old I am not confident I will get a response but here goes. I don't think I missed a step but something went wrong right at 53.41 in the video. I am in object mode. I select a tree. I go to the Object Modifiers (wrench tool). I click on Convert. I go to the particle system and delete the particle system. I press CTRL + J and join them. Everything looks good up to this point but the leaves will not render! The tree renders, but the leaves will not. I repeated the above but this time I did not delete the particle system and the leaves did render. I created a separate blend devoted only to creating the tree and leaf system in order to isolate any issues following the video step by step. Same result. If I delete the particle system the leaves will not render. What did I miss? It obviously works for you. I am running Blener 2.79.
Is this only for blender animations or can I export this for unreal engine?
when I convert from particle to mesh and joint them, my leaf turn black and has no color at all. what should I do?.. thanks
why do my leaves disappear when i join the leaves with the tree?
nih-VID-ee-uh KOO-da please!!
I was working on the tree and was trying to pull up the geometry options like you did, from where it was hidden below on the left side of the screen. I ended up creating all of these extra work screens! I see how to open extra work screens, by clicking on the little plus sign in the upper right hand corner. How do I close them? I only really need two or three.
Let them complain about the smoke all they want, it's easy enough to add some water so it looks more like a "real" fall.
Are you seriously telling me that, those look like watefalls to you?? lol. I really think you actually need to go and see one for yourself…
do we have to put it in a vertex group
CG Geek Is it a low poly or high poly?
45:19 you can hear chicken outside xDD
Hi!
Is there a reason you do not apply the scale to the object before you jump into sculpt mode? @ 3:48
Hey, Great tutorial, thanks for doing this. One question though.. Whewn I try to get the leaves on the tree, using the hair particle system, it doesn't attach the leaves to the tree (even though I use the weight paint and everything) It just sort of emits the leaves in a circular shape. I can't get the leaves to attach to the tree. Can you help?
Thanks!
look at my job thanks to this

What to do
Can't sculpt in blender 2.79
When I add in the displacement modifier it still looks really smooth. What am I doing wrong here?
Do you have a video teaching how to use the "capture motion tracking blender"? I hope you make this video to learn how to do it.
Ouch… the pronunciation of CUDA and Nvidia….
it was very helpfull. Thank for your precious time.
Sculpting isn't working for the rocks at 16:39, the rock just shrinks away even with the draw brush. Any ideas why? 2.77
dont use alpha masked leaf .. try to modal low polly leaf it will reduce ur render time 50-60%.. try it i bet it will
i cant't find the Texture Coordinate. currently i'm using Blender 2.77…
whenever i am in 'camera mode' the whole waterfall strarts to dissappear, so i've put my camera closer to the waterfall and can only see the half of it (the half of the waterfall is still gone), where can i change that?
Steve! Thank you for clarifying the "if you make any changes anywhere else, you will loose them forever." That pretty much takes care of my previous question from the "Realist Animated Trees" tutorial.
Thanks! And please keep up the awesome tutorials!
This is an amazing Tutorial. The finished product will take about 14 years to render on my computer tho.
Who even dislikes this video
Just must have forgotten to apply the scale. Thats why your sculpting looks so weird.
When making the bush tree I cant seem to change it from curve to mesh it stays grey, any idea why?
Thanks for this vid! Helped me and my classmates out a ton with all sorts of stuff!
It is a bit smokey, but I love it! Thanks dude!
bum, bum…cholera, bum!
Kręci, kręci…marudzi! Godzinami tkwi w jednym miejscu i poprawia swoje błędy! Torsji można dostać od tego ględzenia na okrągło! Potem stuka, galopuje …Co za nauczyciel! Robi ładnie ale z trudem wytrzymuję ten bełkot. Niech idzie po naukę do Tut4you
May I ask what prog you used for your screen-cast keys?
Whenever I'm using the sculpt tool, it does a mirror for everything I do. How do I go about turning this off? I don't have the mirror modifier turned on either.
Any suggestions to speed up rendering with particles? When I try to render big particles with gpu cuda crashes, so I have to render with cpu, which is so slow… what should I do?
hi, I came across a problem, that the transparent shader didn't work. I just followed the line-combination step by step, but the other part could not get transparent. Hope you can answer me, thank forward.
great tutorial however, since I last seen it when it was still blender 2.71 I'm not sure if the sculpting has change because when I start to sculpt the mesh doesn't look like yours but more like I used the grab tool even when its was draw.
in the System tab,,,,,,under compute Device…I don't have the "CUDA" tab…. WHY?????
I can't seem to get my sculpt brush to look like yours,what's your secret?
Found part 2 thanks
Hi, When i sculpt i create first some weird faces if i go to many times over the same face and after that my smooth is really slow. He did that in 5 ttimes and i cant even do that. And my smooth strength is one.
Is there a way to get this completely transparent? 🙁
