Creating Natural Assets: Rock

In this chapter, we will be creating realistic rock assets using the Rock Generator built-in Blender add-on. These rock assets are perfect for giving a realistic and natural feel to the landscape environment we’re creating and can be used in multiple exterior nature visualizations.

You will learn how to generate realistic rocks with one click. Also, you will be able to adjust the rocks’ shape and add more detail to them.

Next, you’ll learn how to unwrap and texture a rock. Here, you will learn the fastest way to set up PBR (Physically based rendering) materials in Blender. And finally, you’ll learn how to optimize the rock geometry – you’ll save 75% of rock geometry without sacrificing too much rock quality.

In this chapter, we’ll be covering the following topics:

Installing the rock generator add-on
Creating rocks using the rock generator add-on
