Making dunes

Written the 25th of July 2025

Thanks to the new Gabor Noise introduced in Blender, generating deserts is now easier.
Using this node as a base, I was able to build a procedural Dunes system using Geometry Nodes. From the biggest sand dunes to the smaller sand ripples, I made sure the system works for both!

Barchan and Transverse are the possible formation methods, again thanks to the Gabor node, then the system also spawns some desert plants for added realism, and you get control over the slope of the dunes.
