Gaea tutorials wwithout files

[JB01]

Hi,

To the Gaea team. I came across a tutorial you published and I am wondering why you don’t share the file associated with your tutorials so we can follow what happening and become better using the software ? is the file a secret?

The project itself?

or the file nodes?

• In both cases one answer is the file node, it’s not licensed to just share ( megascans asset) you can just replace this with anything mind, or get the megascans asset, but if it were shipped without the file or a different one, then someone follwoing step by step woudl still be confused and just not understand.

• Another could be for tutorials like this ( step mby step) some of the goals are to make a users step by step themselves to understand why and apply the ideas themselves ( a learning process)

• Finally it may be something the team want to refine to add to the examples

There could be even more reasons but these are a few logical ones.

Here is the Original File Node input

In cases where Maarten has shared files and deep learning.

Hope that helps

Kyrgyzstan Valley Terrains

Hey there, for the Gaea 2 Starterguide I created a terrain that I wanted to share. I also took the time to create a very heavy but more realistic terrain. It covers extensive erosion, rock formations, and detailing. Plus a really complex texturing setup. The terrains require you to draw a valley, and for the heavy file please bake the first half of the shaping once you get it to a place you like!

Partially I don’t want to make it a habit of sharing each file because it can lead to more questions than answers. People will try to just make the file work rather than actually understanding and learning the techniques used.

I create rather complicated node graphs, and I’d have to revisit/improve them because to someone who’s learning and didn’t create them it probably looks like a confusing mess haha.

The idea of more examples etc. has been discussed. might take some time to refine a few terrains into simpler versions for more examples.

Regarding this it’s mostly just a time management thing. I am 1 person. I need to research ways to create terrains, then record edit and upload tutorials, test SEO stuff, record, edit, upload documentation videos, create art for thumbnails, blogs, covers. So it will likely happen in the future when time allows for it. But for now documentation and content are the priorities.
