How To Create Realistic Cliffs and Rocks in Blender transcript

[Music] okay I'm going to start with a cube and I'm going to scale it on the c-axis with s then press Z and maybe scale it on the y axis don't forget to apply the scale contrl a scale and now I can the remage modifier if we lower box of size this will increase the faces now add a displace modifier I can use Cloud's texture adjust the scale now I can lower the strength in this place modifier adjust box the size I don't need too much geometry right now I can activate this button to see the modifier in edit mode now duplicate the mes with shift d c we are using using remes modifier this will create only one mesh now I'm going to add a cylinder scale it on the z-axis duplicate I can adjust the boxes size if needed now duplicate and move it up to select a mes select any face or vertex then press L and you can add more cubes or any mesh I'm just trying to make a rock like shape once you are happy with the mesh right click and convert to mesh now I can go into sculpt uh press shift and I can smooth the mesh I'm going to select the scrape brush and flatten some parts I'm going to add the multi resolution modifier subdivide it if you want you can spend more time sculpting but I leave all the work to the textures I need to unrap the model so in the modifier I'm going to select the level viewport the same as sculpt and apply it now into edit mode hit U and wrap I'm going to use Cube projection now add the display modifier but this time I'm going to select uh displacement texture these textures are from poly heaven.com the texture I'm using is Cliff side just click on download Once you add the texture here in mapping you can repeat it if you need now in displ modifier I'm going to set coordinates to UV and adjust the strength you can use mid level to prevent mesh clipping now I'm going to add the material select the Shader and press control shift T I'm going to select the color normal roughness and also the displacement in the Shader I can lower specular to 01 or less if you need more details you can add a subdivision surface modifier just move it up so it can affect the displays now I want to see more Shadows so I'm going to enable seene lights over the strength now add a sunlight I can add a second Shader and mix it just uh press control zero and I'm going to pick a color and use a geometry into f then uh separate X Y and Z connect from Z so we can mask based on the height now I can control the mask with a map wrange or color ramp of course you can add textures to the Shader if you like and now it's time to duplicate the model to create the cliff you can scale and rotate it try to randomize it maybe scale it on a particular axis but I'm using only one model so you can create more to randomize even more I'm going to change to Cycles Render for lighting I'm using an hdri this image is from poly heaven.com the name is industrial Sunset now I can duplicate the sunlight in data disable cast Shadows and now use a very low value in strength this is just to thin the shadows and we should use a bluish color for daylight finally I added some models you can find free architecture assets on my gumroad or for AR station stores I leave the links in the description and maybe I can add some vegetation and that's it see you next time
