Hi, i'm no expert but from experience you can use the Slope node to mask places where you want grass and cliff for example. So you export the main height map as usual, and also the Slope node(s) for the layers masks.

@draadhaai 4 месяца назад

I cannot express how incredibly useful this was. A step by step for generating more optimal landscapes was one of the things missing from my UE experience. Thanks for making this tutorial possible. I happened to have the assets already so I did generate the landscape with you. Do keep in mind, I have a 4060 Ti and my number of points to spawn ran terrible at 0.5, so I lowered it to a very nice 0.25 instead, which still gave a nice landscape to toy around with. Few questions/tips: In the beginning you don't seem to mention which UE project template to use. I opted for 3rd person just so I could walk around easily as well. You seem to have gone for No Template? Also, because I used 3rd person I noticed the grass and other elements still had collision, so I disabled that. With the scaling you provided my 3rd person character feels rather small though, but that is easily adjusted. Once again, thanks for the incredible tutorial! Well worth the time!

Extremely great tutorial. Really happy that you also introduced the partitioning part of PCG. I have two questions: - Can we control the grid size of pcg partitions? - Would the techniques shown in this video also applied if the landscape was a static mesh instead of a landscape? I'm not sure how one would mimic getting the grass and cliff masks.

@azielarts 3 месяца назад

Hey! Thanks so much, and great questions. Yes you I believe you can control the grid size. I believe it is controlled by your world portion grid size that you set up for your landscape. Hmm I am not 100% sure if the partitioning will work with a large mesh instead of a landscape. I think I need to test that. Everything else about PCG would work mesh though.

@johnsarthole 3 месяца назад

I came back to this because my head hurt trying to remember how to make the partitioning actually happen - so you have my gratitude One thing worth adding is that the scale of the PCG volume can be passed on to actors placed by the PCG graph. I'd suggest that best practice is to set the size of the volume in it's brush settings rather than using actor scale

@azielarts 3 месяца назад

No problem, if I am honest, I forgot things all the time and have to refer back to my own videos. It is just so detail oriented that if you forget one checkbox it's like... Where did I go wrong? Ooh good point on the scale, I will look into that

@mic007129 4 месяца назад

Looking great, how is the performance of the detail if you compare it with the details in the materials?

@azielarts 4 месяца назад

For me performance is great, however the asset pack is very we'll optimized to begin with, and that is most of what contributes to the performance. The partitioning system is the other.

@redwolf2901 2 месяца назад

Great Tutorial, newly subbed as you explain it all clearly. If at all possible could you do a tutorial on Gaea, as having a hard time importing the river height maps to set the rivers up, the only way I am able to do it at the moment is by dragging a plane in or using a spline.

@mathysvandermerwe6094 2 месяца назад

This tutorial worked great. Thank you very much. One thing that I did have happening was right after I switched on the partitioning on the PCG graph. The Surface Sampler is showing an error for two of the partitions with "Skipped - tried to generate too many points" with both of them around 400k points. The map is 4033x4033 and I set the points per SqM to 0.3 and point extents at 10. My extents used to be 5 and it had the same issue for all my partitions. NOt sure yet what the impact on the PCG spawns are byt making the extents larger though.

Great question. hight maps yes, not sure about landmasses. Bioms would be simple. Just create either on PCG graph with parameters for the different bioms or just have different graphics spawn. I think either works, though honestly I have not tested it at runtime

Just starting out with UE and watching all kind of stuff to see what's possible. Quick question: is it a reasonable way to purchase such packs and modify their contents to create an own style? So changing/altering textures, exchanging assets like trees and rocks with own stuff? Do you have even access to all the content (like fbx/obj, pngs and such). Or is this a dumb idea? :D Btw, really enjoying checking out your content. :)

Hi, first, thanks a lot for your work, it's been a great learning experience. I'm facing an issue now when i try to apply the topic of this video to a project. Every time i create an open world level and import a gaea height map and add ultra dynamic sky (no material) , it looks greats in edit mode but does not show up in the render (with mrq). It's the same when i simulate, i've got only the near landscape tiles and i don't have any idea how to change this. Any advice or recommended tutorial for this ? I'm new to world partition stuff, so there's that (i'm on UE 5.3.2).

@Sluggernaut Месяц назад

Nice. I'll try to finish watching soon but I was trying to follow one of the recent videos that UnrealEngine put out where they do some stylized post processing. It was based off of one of their 4.27 projects but amazingly just came right over to 5.x. The problem came when we are supposed to have some simple stylized grass that uses virtual textures to sample the ground and change their color accordingly. Can this do that?

@azielarts Месяц назад

This is more about modeling and basic material, but you could absolutely hook it up to runtime virtual textures in the material

@SunbroTreadway 3 месяца назад

I am very new to UE and design in general, but I've had some ideas I wanted to start working on as a complete newbie, and one question I've had so far is I know games with a ToD cycle can obviously keep track of days passed, but can you build different biomes to have a passing seasonal cycle? I'd like to try and build a heavy woodland area to eventually lose leaves and have snow accumulate and then go back to a lush season, where on the side of the map it'd go from a plains to a mountainy area and have each of those go from tall grass to more barren and light to heavier snow, respectively, as time passes. Would it just be a matter of coding? any plugins or additional tools that can help lean me towards those goals?

@stormrungaming Месяц назад

Do you already have a video on how you created the layers with Gaea? Ive been watching other tutorials but they dont give me the layers you have.

@lowkeygamedev 2 месяца назад

The reason this is taking minutes is because each partition is generating points for each other partition, and then you are rendering the foliage ontop of each other N times. You can test if this is accurately the case by clicking a single partition, and hiding it. Plug a 'get actor data' with settings 'self' and 'merge single point' and then also call 'cull points outside actor' after the sampler to address the issue of mass creation and spawning on points.

@Phraxas52 4 месяца назад

How do I use auto-landscaping while still maintaining the ability to detect the landscape material in a given area? I only detect the auto landscape material and not if it's grass, cliff, shoreline, etc. Is there maybe a better way to finding the landscape material than by taking from the layerinfo? Maybe I shouldn't be generating my PCGs based on material at all..? Another YTber is telling me to use a mask layer for each material or area I want to run my PCG on, but I'm looking to automatically generate the terrain itself, not import it from Gaea or other program.

@azielarts 4 месяца назад

That is a great question. I think there are multiple ways to approach it. The problem I ran into with auto materials, is that, depending on how they are built, they might not actually story any data in a landscape layer. If the data is only based on Hight or Slope or other things, as some auto materials are, then have not really come up with a good way to reference the data. Maybe this other YTber has a solution?

At 4:00, suddenly WorldDataLayers andWorldPartitionMiniMap disappear from the Outliner. Are they deleted before the landscape import? I cannot get the landscape to import and just get very tall empty boxes on import.

@KimSjborgPedersen 3 месяца назад

Hi, when you import your heightmap the resolution is 2048x2048 but when I use the downloaded file it is only 2017x2017

@user-od3ke2xq4u 3 месяца назад

So, I'm having a weird issue. I'm using a different grass mesh than you are. So, when I scale up or actually even leave it at the same scale in the "Transform Points" My foliage in some areas, predominantly in the areas leading up the mountains are floating above the landscape. I have a feeling that it's due to the z axis. I cannot seem to figure out what the issue is.

@MidnightshadeProductions 8 дней назад

Does that mean that the only way to mask the automaterial landscape layer is to replace the texture mask with the one generated from gaea? is there another way to mask the material?

@azielarts 8 дней назад

Yep you can mask by height or curvature or other ways, but in order to have it drive PCG, you need some sort of mask data that the graph can read. For me I have not found a way to get these other types of masking to drive the graph yet, but there definitely might be ways.

UE5.4.1 crashes while attempting to create landscape from provided height map. Any hints?

Can you please show how to add the rivers and the walking path to this please?

@azielarts 4 месяца назад

Yes sure! Basically you can want to go to your material and make a landscapr layer. Then, using that layer, either paint a path/riverbed material or make a texture for where it should be placed (like the tutorial). In the case of a river you will then just need to add a plan with a water material on it( I think I have a RU-vid Short on adding water). Hope that helps.

@paulomartins2575 2 месяца назад

we can make that to be procedural? (every time we press play, the PCG randomize)

@azielarts 2 месяца назад

Yep absolutely

@azielarts 2 месяца назад

Hey what's up! sorry I didn't see this before. Did you end up fixing it? Yes I would turn off collisions for the grass and other foliage.

HI. In 25:54 You said we have to add the Special Noise Node, But i cant find it in Unreal Engine 5.2.1. AnyOne Can help Please.

@ishaan9597 2 месяца назад

great tutorial but my trees and bush and stones are spawining on same locating like stone is on top of grass , tress they are overlapping even after i change the density , seen it wont change pls reply ?

@azielarts 2 месяца назад

Hey there are a few things to check. If you are using the same points to spawn two different foliages, they will overlap. To avoid this use point filter to filter out different ranges of points. Or you can use a difference node to cut out one set up point from the other. If neither of these work it is probably because the extents of your points on the bushes are too small, so you can set the points extents to be bigger so they collide with other points cutting them off

Any way to stop the grass and trees from spawning halfway up the cliff? All of my grass PCG point data values are above 0.9

@azielarts 4 месяца назад

Yes you can filter it by z hight values using the attribute filter node. I will try to make a video on it.

@Latoni. 27 дней назад

I wasn't able to get this to work. I followed all the steps correctly and even restarted twice to make sure but every time I go to import the landscape the landscape disappears and 4 large red squares appear. Idk what I could be doing wrong any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Thank you, but I need to make the character like Disney any video for this?? or suggest for me one channel we can learn like what you explain in correct way .. thank you

@azielarts 3 месяца назад

You have a few option. If you want to download one, you can head to the marketplace www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/content-cat/assets/characters. I would look for one that already has animations. OR if you really want to make one yourself, you could try this on ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tCiGg26DV-k.html

@mirkoemir Месяц назад

When this job is done, we don't need to execute it anymore, right? once the PCG area with grass, rocks, trees, and bushes are generated, the entire map is saved to be used on our game. Is this right?

@azielarts Месяц назад

Yes Once you are done you just hit the clean up button and then it disconnects the logic. You can go ahead and package it like you normally would.

everything was fine till min 5:51 when i push the "import" landscape button and appear the mountains in white, for me appaear 4 giant squares but no land around. Did i did something wrong?

@MeanLemur24432 28 дней назад

go into window, world partition, right click then load the landscape. Disable the fog as it makes things too foggy or decrease the fog amount.

@Phraxas52 4 месяца назад

My surface sampler keeps giving me an error of too many points even though I have the points per squared meter at .0001 and the PCG is set to be partitioned. Unbounded is false. What could be causing this? I'm only at 250, 100 scale.

@Phraxas52 4 месяца назад

Oh, point extents at 10 fixes that. I'm not sure what this attribute is.

@azielarts 4 месяца назад

Oh good, I am glad you fixed it. Yes, the points size must have been messing with you there. The points extent is the size of the points themselves.

You are not alone and this is 2nd comment with same issue since UE 5.4 came by. I have same problem. I did not pass the import part too. On my old tryI've passed but already stuck at missing some textures on hills so I've made new project and now i can't pass the Import part. Ehh such a waste of potential :( @azielarts any help/advice?

@FPChris 4 месяца назад

FYI A grass scale of 3.0 is nearly as high as Quinn. 2.0 is about waste high.

Ooh good to know. Yeah you will probably need to adjust for the characters you are using.

@FPChris 4 месяца назад

My bad you reduced the grass around 30:40 lol and answered my previous question too about the PCG volume size. I think my confusion is I'm used to extending the bounds for the Post Process Volume and I thought it behaved the same way.

No worries@@FPChris glad it locked in for you 👍Yea totally really does look like a ppv but then has completely different characteristics.
