Creating Multilayered Biomes with PCG in Unreal Engine
In this video, we will learn how to create multilayered biomes using the PCG Layered Biomes plugin in Unreal Engine. We will go through the entire process step by step, from creating the PCG Volume to configuring the parameters of each layer.
All issues in video was related to UE 5.3 only.

can you help me find Pcg biomes main Where did you get it from?

@LazyCatsDev 17 дней назад

Hi! Make sure the plugin is enabled and that the 'Show Plugin Content' option is enabled

谢谢

@yantingye1677 Месяц назад

It would be great if there were also PCG tools for city creation available

You can work with procedural Alpha brushes to modify the landscape?, which can be combined in any way and edited at any time. Thank you

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

Hi! My plugin has nothing to do with landscape editing. You can do it however you like - through Alpha Brushes, generating externally, or any other way. The plugin simply allows you to place objects on the landscape.

@ElPajaroLoko Месяц назад

@@LazyCatsDev So, take my question into consideration for future updates of your plugin... great work anyway, congratulations!

@DrZou28 Месяц назад

Nice plugin and great tutorial. But how can I convert all the meshes into foliages at the end, so that you can also cut down the trees?

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

Hi! Thank you! Now you need to do a lot to achieve this. So later, I am going to create useful tools to replace mesh instances with actors.

Hey, quick question whats you landscape material used in this?

Hi! Landscape and material are from Magic Map Material & Maker (M4) - www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/magic-map-material-maker

@ExoticCrickett Месяц назад

hey can u make complete tutorial for beginners, how to make this type of environments from 0-100?

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

Hey there! Thanks for the comment! This video is actually a step-by-step guide that shows how to create these environments using my plugin. I wonder if there were some parts that weren't clear enough? If there's anything specific you felt confused about, let me know and I can explain it in more detail. Building environments from scratch, without the plugin, is definitely possible. It just involves a lot more technical steps, like working with C++ code and Procedural Content Generation (PCG). My plugin simplifies all that for you, saving you a ton of time. Speaking of the plugin, it's still being reviewed by the Marketplace. It shouldn't be too much longer, and I'll definitely announce the launch date as soon as I know! Feel free to ask any other questions you might have, and thanks again for reaching out!

@vega2099 Месяц назад

Should PCG_Main_Graph have been included in the plugin? or is this something needing to be created?

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

Hi! All graphs used in the tutorial included with the plugin. If you don't see them ensure to enable "Show Plugin Content"

@vega2099 Месяц назад

Omg, shows how often I use plug-ins. Thank you. Amazing work btw.

@mrconcept Месяц назад

hi, thanks for the plugin and look forward to using it. Just a thought though this tutorial is way too fast and i had to half the playback speed to properly follow along which is fine but not ideal.

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

Hi! Thanks for pointing that out! I'll keep it in mind for the future.

@armanelgudzhyan192 Месяц назад

Nice plugin! Going to play with it in more detail later, but FYI you should make sure your struct defaults are initialized since right now on startup it prints this error: "LogClass: Error: StructProperty FBiomeSettings::DebugColor is not initialized properly even though its struct probably has a custom default constructor. Module:PCGLayeredBiomes File:Public/Biomes/BiomesSettings.h" Easy fix, but it gets rid of annoying error message 🙂

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

Hi! I've seen the message and tried to fix it, but I don't know what ue wants me to do. This field is 100% initialized in a constructor. It looks like ue constructs structures in some weird way. I will try to fix it anyway because it's annoying me too. Maybe you know how to fix this? :)

@armanelgudzhyan192 29 дней назад

@@LazyCatsDev Oh I see, well I appreciate knowing you're not just ignoring errors like most haha. It is kind of weird, since at first glance it looks correct to me too. I haven't tried this, but I looked in the engine code and it looks like when they define FLinearColor in structs, they usually forward declare FLinearColor too. I looked into CoreMinimal and whether FLinearColor would actually go through there, and from what I can tell, as of 5.4 it is NOT, since it's wrapped in UE_ENABLE_INCLUDE_ORDER_DEPRECATED_IN_5_4. So I'm guessing you could try either forward declaring it and initializing it to the constructor or (hopefully avoidable) including Math/Color.h manually.

@LazyCatsDev 29 дней назад

@armanelgudzhyan192 I have found a solution! Will be fixed in next update!

@armanelgudzhyan192 29 дней назад

@@LazyCatsDevOut of curiosity what was the problem?

@LazyCatsDev 29 дней назад

For some reason ue don't like custom default constructor for structure, if it uses types which is not initialised by default (like FLinearColor). I don't know exactly why. I rid of constructor for that structure and moved logic to another place and this solved the issue.

can you spawn blueprints instead of meshes with this?

@roberttaylor4696 Месяц назад

Is it too much to request Blueprint actors have the ability to be added to this amazing tool?

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

What do you mean? You want to spawn actors instead of meshes?

@LazyCatsDev Месяц назад

If that's the case, I highly recommend never doing it this way: * It's too resource-intensive for games, both in terms of memory and performance. * It's extremely inconvenient if you have the One File Per Actor mode enabled. Instead, it's worth replacing meshes with Actors at runtime only when necessary. I'll finish and release convenient functions for replacement.
