Thanks for watching, Wisam! Happy you found it useful :)

Thanks for the comment, glad you found it helpful and cohesive :)

Well, I wasnt worried until you said that xD

Cheers :)

Glad it helped!

Happy to help!

Thanks for the feedback, Im glad it was useful and easy to follow :) Are you possibly talking about tessellation and displacement? Some of the newer aspects from UE5 broke Displacement for a long time but in 5.3 they've brought the tool back to work nicely with Nanite. Maybe that would be worth doing a video on!

Whoo! Thank you, number 1000 :) glad you like the tutorial

i was messing around with it and got it working, but the vertex color was shared across all instances and im not sure if there’s a way around it 😔

Yea, you essentially can think of it as using the red, green and blue channel as individual masks. You can do anything you want (use multiple textures, modify existing textures) and the red, green and blue channels are just the way of dictating where each texture is applied

@@Braytonks3D Okay, this will help a lot, Thankyou so much :)

Hey Adam! Unfortunately I think Vertex Painting is one of those things that there currently isnt a solution to yet after the implementation of Nanite. From my limited testing, you should still be able to do the mesh painting as I do here in this video, the "vertices" will just be different because theyre derived from the nanite triangles rather than the imported mesh's topology. Again, I only tested this briefly and it was also with a project that I imported into UE5 from an old UE4 project which I feel like causes inconsistencies and issues. Further testing is needed

Hi Braytonks3D can you please make a video about 'how to make a non height lerp vertex color material just like you mentioned in the your video 5:34 . It would really help alot.

Textures that changes based in its position in the world.

I haven't done enough testing to know for certain but it seems to. The only caveat being that it of course has to use the nanite geo vertices

I'm not sure, actually! I know UE5 changed some stuff with displacement, so maybe they hid those maps in the bridge materials? I'll have to look in that

@Braytonks3D I've read that you have to use the red or green channel from the combined roughness, metal and ambient map to get height but I can't get it to work. I've been at this for hours and can't find anyone who knows how to do it lol

@@peterrandall6761 I found a reddit thread that suggested it was packed into the blue channel of the ORD map that comes with those materials (Occlusion, Roughness, Displacement would be my best guess)

Vertex painting does work on nanite meshes, but currently not across multiple instances of the same mesh. If you check paint on all LODs, and apply changes you are greeted with a warning that the changes (vertex painting) you made will be applied to all LOD levels. This means it will "bake" the vertex color information to the mesh. This is fine if you want to paint to a single mesh. But If you have a modular building, which consists of multiple instances of the same type of meshes, like walls, floors, corners, etc. you can't use this method as shown in the tutorial. But you can still utilize the workflow shown. You can paint your vertex color to a wall mesh, let's say you want moss, then the only difference is you will be multiplying your vertex color with a noise texture projected in world space. That way you can achieve similar results across multiple instances of the same mesh using nanite .

Check out 11:45 for an example when I darkened the bricks. Basically you would use a simple Lerp node instead and plug Texture A into 'A', Texture B into 'B' and the vertex color of your choice into the 'Alpha' slot. I'm doing the same thing with the darkened bricks example but instead of using two different textures, im just modifying the single texture to have a non-altered and altered version to vertex paint between
