Displacing Geometry: Creating ‘Ninety Days’ in Unreal Engine 5 

Creating ‘Ninety Days’ in Unreal Engine 5 | Complete Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PL5uQePynMSiJ687OW13gNSN5JEShvs72Z Watch the full Ninety Days showcase video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ca2ME4Wy0eM.html

Does no one at Epic saw this as being double the work instead of using Displacement like we used to?

We need displacement and tessellation for landscapes! This is NOT an alternative to the old workflow! UE5 needs a solution to this problem ASAP.

Wiktor I hope you're doing well! Thank you and the team for committing the time for a swift tutorial!

More of that kind of videos please. And mabye a tutorial on creating Landscape Materials, where you can't see the texture reputition and so on.

So glad I found this. Wiktor you are my idol.

This is so much radness on so many darn levels

Fantastic! Hope there's more comming, Thank you!

Thank You😍

The final and perfect solution would be a landscape or a huge nanite mesh with billions of triangles where you can paint on with blending your biomes with your displacement maps.

SECOND VIDEO AND I ALREADY LOVE THIS SERIES!!

This is amazing thanks

That's all well and good for planes, but how do we apply it to a landscape? Are we supposed to be creating landscapes from planes now? I heard about virtual heightfield meshes but they do not support collision... which means a characters foot will just ghost right through any of the displacement, so it doesn't seem like a solution. Please give us a solution for landscape!

2:30 You don't need to open the model window to turn on Nanite. You can right-click the model in the Content Drawer and there'll be an option to turn on Nanite.

Awesome..unreal is just amazing

Awesome, I was giving up hope thinking I had to do it externally, so glad it can be done internally!

I wish quixel made more city environments or buildings in bridge

Wiktor please show us how you made your terrariums for the 90 days. Please please.

Wow, found a treasure, even have Chinese, that's awesome, thanks🥰

I dont understand how are we going to do modular mesh work with a workflow as rigid as this one. How do you duplicate a wall, add different types of dirt/cracks/noise/plaster on it and then duplicate it again and have another different variant? Or how are we supposed to blend multiple materials nicely? In the past, a proper shader setup could give is a very similar result than what the video showcases and at the same time extensive control on blending, duplicating and adding variation, and what not. This workflow seems rigid, unfriendly... and it's all just for one single plane mesh that you wont be able to do much with. (I have a ton of materials that I can surely transform into cool plane meshes but what the hell do I want that for?) I mean, the Ninety Days results speak for themselves and they are incredible. With a million meshes and amazing details. But I feel I'm missing something. So just to get it straight: the new workflow idea seems like wont be too friendly for layering materials. The new workflow is all around creating very simple base meshes that you transform into complex highpoly-nanite assets with amazing details inside the engine directly? Later we create a shader for the nanite-asset that has some basic layering of materials without any displacement for stuff like dirt and moss or you directly tackle this through more geometry/decals ?

I don't have modelling mode as an option? Am in UE 5. I've got every other option on the dropdown. Any idea? Sorry I'm a complete beginner 😁

Can we do this with displacement maps coming from World Creator?

This is crazy I never knew

I displaced a roof to have tiles and when the camera/viewport pulled away nanite put holes in the mesh and made it totally disappear the further away I got. How can I stop this from happening?

How can we use this in landscape materials? I still don't know what's the official workflow. RVT is buggy.

Can't we achieve the same result using the quixel mixer? Os is it not enough?

This is huge.. I mean really HUGE

so is this then better for performace because nanite makes up for the extra detail, and theres no extra shader work?

Just wow

But wouldn't using the method shown In this video increases download size because it was making new textures?

The environment you show at the end is pretty much my goal as a game designer..any idea of a direction to go using this workflow to get that type of environment? also props for revolutionizing making games.

Aight, now how to use it with landscape materials? With blending between layers and all?

Can use parallex onclusion for this ?

I want to know how to apply this new displacement to my vertex painting... I cant find a solution yet so I give up using displacement in vertex paint material :(

I don't see the select mode option. It always has to happen to me...

@quixel did they remove the modeling mode? I don't see it and sift 5 is tied to fracture mode now...

How would you get puddles in this if vert paint doesn’t work on nanite?

Going to have to agree with other people here, how is this usable with other than cinematics in reduced spaces. How do we apply this to big landscapes, what about blending, layering and automaterials. This looks cool but sounds kindof not usable outside these controlled cinematic projects. Thanks for the cool tip tho.

what info is stored in the rgb channels? sorry newby here

How much does nanite impact size of project?

NO, thank you so much ❤️

does anyone know the skybox they used here?! its gorgeous. 😍

Sorry guys I am just starting, can you please let me know how should I do for bigger than 2x2m? Like 20x20m? Should I stretch this plane already done or should I create a huge plane first and do all the steps next? In that case 1 million would be too low, right?

why when i tried to simplify the plane its stay loading and dont let me apply ?

Wow

I don't see the virtual streaming button

The inbuilt version of bridge doesnt download/import the displacement map last time i checked. Is/will this be updated now that we know we can do displacement in engine?

Is there a way to make the plane tileable (most of the time after simplifying the object (for example in Blender) the sides of the plane have a different amount of verts, which causes seams when duplicating the mesh)? And while this is a great workflow for concept artists who could slap millions of faces on an object, I am concerned if this workflow is viable for gamedevelopent. I mean the end user would not want to download a huge game and fill half of his harddrive with geometry data. I would really like to use a similar workflow without worrying about that (since im quite new to gamedev some guidence on these subjects would be really nice :) ). Btw the results of the ninety days challenge were extremely awsome :) .

Has anyone tried this? I followed this tutorial exactly as shown with the exact same textures and got totally different results...

The only way to tell between this and reality is just the characters and ai

i will love to learn from people that work on fortnite rx580 4gb my game runes 240+ fps and i open unreal engine 5 only 30 fps people that work in that game must be next level

As a noob, how can I do this with my own textures, like taking a picture and using that picture as a texture and having it pop up like this? thanks for any information on this.

Wierd. I can't find the Check box for the Virtual Texture

UE5 workflow without tesselation is just plain BROKEN. Please at least make some announcements that you are working on the issue in any direction. The only solution as of now is not to use UE5.

This, Virtual Heightfield Mesh and all other tricks to replace tessellation are shitty as hell. just bring back the old tesselation & displacement in material and we're okay with it if displaced meshes/landscapes don't support nannite.

million triangles? really? it is not a miracle. it would be miracle if you do the same with one triangle
