World Creator 2 Fundamentals | 1.0 | Introduction

[Music] hello everyone and welcome to an introductory course to world crater - my name is Tyler Puryear and I'm going to be taking you through how I created this terrain you see in front of you from start to finish [Music] the goal of this course is to teach you how to use world creator 2 in a realistic project-based approach you shouldn't need any prior knowledge as I will be guiding you through the process step by step while covering the ins and outs of the program in addition I will be covering not only the technical aspects to the program but the meaning behind as to why I'm doing something a certain way I'll be sure to cover the general workflows of creating a terrain and some tips and tricks along the way each video will be a continuation of what was covered in the previous video so that you can follow along more easily with a single project by the end of this series you ought to be versed enough to go out on your own and start creating worlds so let's go ahead and get to know exactly what world creator really is at its core we're all credit to is a real-time application that focuses on the generation and design of landscapes and terrains it is an artist friendly solution that aims to be the fastest and easiest landscape design software to help you not only stay productive but also focus more on creativity it uses the power of your GPU to process everything in real-time so you can literally see mountains rise canyons carved or erosions flow without waiting minutes sometimes hours for a CPU based solution to generate work grader 2 uses a layer based system to stack effects and details on top of one another making it clear how each detail is affecting the other there are several generators that can displays these effects either procedurally or via a custom design that you shape or paint right on the scene this approach is also seen in the fully integrated texturing solution within the application making it easy to visualize realistic environments for anything from prototyping to full-scale visualizations the end result will let you export your terrain to be used in other 3d applications and game engines there are several apps that could easily use what you have created in world crater 2 to further enhance the landscape use and how it is rendered before we begin we must first purchase and download a copy of the world creator application if
