Artstation - Introduction to Gaea
https://www.artstation.com/learning/courses/QJg/introduction-to-gaea
In this course, Kem Yaralioglu will cover the fundamental nodes used for terrain creation in Gaea. This is a brief overview of all of the common nodes that he uses frequently to create landscapes. This will not necessarily cover how to create a production level landscape but will cover how to use the nodes together. This course is designed to provide a solid base for navigating, understanding, and using Gaea.

This course will be a bit different than most of our courses. In this course, we will focus on how to switch to Maya for game artists from any other 3d software like blender or 3ds max. Now the reason I say for game artists is because I will mostly be focused on the modeling and texturing side of Maya. This means we will not be covering things like animation, rendering, or simulations.
