HOW TO CREATE TERRAINS IN COPERNICUS
Create a height field from scratch in Copernicus using terrain layers, heightfield noise, terracing, erosion, and strata details to develop a natural and art-directable terrain setup. This tutorial also covers height-based color visualization, subtle noise variation, and techniques for breaking up overly uniform gradients to achieve a more refined and realistic result.
This workflow is valuable for artists looking to understand how familiar SOP-based terrain concepts translate into Copernicus while taking advantage of its layer-based approach. By the end, you will have a stronger foundation for building procedural landscapes with greater control, flexibility, and visual polish inside Houdini.

How would you then bring it into Solaris and Render it or get more details and more detailed textures?

This tutorial by Alasgar should point you in the right direction: https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/how-to-render-terrains-in-solaris/

Hi Peter,
I still have a huge uncertainty about how to render COPs, whether it's a HeightField COP or a regular COP.
Little by little I'll figure it out, but right now I can't render COPs, even in simple cases like the beautiful color gradients created with mono to RGB for this HeightField, or even longer animated sequences.
It's a different workflow, and I'm still learning it. 😄
The problem is that Karma XPU doesn't seem to accept rendering them the way I used to do it before.

As I mentioned to the previous poster, this tutorial might be able to point you in the right direction: https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/how-to-render-terrains-in-solaris/

You didn't go into detail into every node and geology, we need actual info on real world data too when we replicating realworld objects. And your personal project for solaris do not match the tutorial results you showed us. you should've given us more detailed and more longer version of this lesson.

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback. This specific video is just a quickstart to help people start out creating heightfields in COPs. There would have to be a much more in-depth, multi-part course in order to go into those very large concepts that you mentioned. I'm not sure what you mean that the project doesn't match the tutorial results? Would you be able to elaborate on that?
