Sharp edges on sand, trying to achieve smooth sand

[cosmozach (Zach)]

Could there be any reason why my sand dune looks like this?

The above is render mode, viewport, in camera view

I’m using cycles, its a landscape auto mesh

I’ve tried subdividing it a couple times and it looks the same

So confused!

Hey thanks for responding

Adding a subdivision surface works?

[moonboots]

It looks like you subdivided with Smoothness value at 0, which tends to flatten the surfaces, do you have a previous version?

[cosmozach (Zach)]

Ah,

No - I’ll start the landscape mesh again and look for this option

I’ll post my findings

Thank you

[cosmozach (Zach)]

Thanks for looking at this

Can still see squares and lines, unlike real dunes/sand

[cosmozach (Zach)]

New landscape mesh

these are my options (left) - i dont see a smoothness value here i can change?

[cosmozach (Zach)]

New mesh, even lower resolution

I don’t know this addon, what are you trying to do? it looks like the Ocean modifier, maybe try it?

[cosmozach (Zach)]

it’s the landscape addon

[moonboots]

I don’t know anything about it, I hope someone knows better than me

[cosmozach (Zach)]

Thanks

I started the mesh again with higher X/Y subdivisions - not sure why i couldn’t do it again

yes, I don’t know what all the parameters are for, but it seems to work fine, that’s why I was asking if you ever subivided after (right click > Subdivide) ? because if you did with a smoothness of 0 it could be the reason why you had this result
