Frequently asked questions

Does A.N.T.Landscape work with Blender 4.2?

A.N.T.Landscape is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so recent LTS builds and later releases are covered. It was previously included among the bundled add-ons in Blender 4.1, and version 0.2.0 was published in May 2024. If you're on 4.2 LTS or a newer version, it should load without issue. For older Blender versions, the version history on the developer's page lists earlier releases you can review.

How do I install A.N.T.Landscape in Blender?

A.N.T.Landscape can be added by dragging and dropping its downloaded file into Blender, or by using Install from Disk in Blender's extensions preferences. The download is around 59.5 KB and requires no special permissions. Once installed and enabled, you'll find it in the 3D viewport sidebar under the Create tab. The developer's page provides the download along with a link to Blender's extension installation documentation if you need step-by-step guidance.

Where is A.N.T.Landscape located after installing?

A.N.T.Landscape is accessed from the 3D viewport at View3D → Sidebar → Create tab. From there you can add its landscape meshes to the scene. As an Add Mesh add-on that also includes a displace function, it works within Blender's standard interface rather than as a standalone window. If the sidebar isn't visible, open it in the 3D viewport and switch to the Create tab to reach the tool.

Is A.N.T.Landscape free to use?

A.N.T.Landscape is listed as free here and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. It requires no special permissions to run in Blender. For the current licensing terms and any conditions attached to the GPL, refer to the developer's page. Keep in mind it was formerly a bundled Blender add-on and is now offered as-is with limited support, so licensing and status are best confirmed there.
