This course will explore the exciting world of procedural content generation (PCG) using Unreal Engine. We’ll break down the basics of PCG and show you how to use it to create various environments.
Throughout the course, we’ll walk you through the build-up and workflow of PCG, providing comparisons to traditional scattering tools like Rail Clone in 3ds Max or XGen/Bifrost in Maya. You’ll learn how to use these tools to create detailed and complex environments, all while maintaining control over the final result. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of PCG and how to use it to create stunning environments in Unreal Engine.
We’re excited to bring you sessions from Unreal Fest 2023, available to watch on demand: • Unreal Fest '23 Playlist

It is awesome seeing those new tools in action and on a functional content (something that is doable, that you can imagine using it to make a real game).

Awsome! Randomness provides reality, procedure controls the order and noise provide the randomness. Learned a lot, thanks!

Is there any relax option for the scattered point?

is there any way to check when the pcg graph generation completed? is there any node or output?

Are the roof geometry in pieces before so that the orientation of the tiles will be aligned? can that be done in another 3d software or does it have to be done all in Unreal?

Does this system work on runtime? Or only in editor to set up a scene?

@darylobert 2 ай бұрын

works in runtime

Heads up for the UE team - You have provided session content & pdf's for most of the UE Fest 2023 sessions in your BOX account. The pdf for this session is swapped into the folder : Hands-On Introduction to In-Editor Modeling . Cheers, b

Is there a way to target only the start and end vertex in a spline? For example if I had a spline spawning a bunch of houses in a line.... and only wanted to remove the first and last house from the spline. The use case is related to using imported splines from open street map. the points that overlap between the two splines... are not easy to get rid of. Self pruning or difference nodes dont seem to work..

Nothing comes to mind other than to use two more splines manually placed at the ends

@RoeJogan 8 ай бұрын

@@1234macro Yeah that was something I tried.. except I have 10k+ splines which will make it a bit tricky/insane to go this route... Unless.... oh I think I might have solved it thinking.... but still a crapload of work. If the splines were brought into a 3d app... somehow there could be a way to select the starting and end points for all of them.. invert... kill the segments and verts inbetween... and export out the verts as a mesh.. and mesh sample it.

After your SplineSampler, instead of a spline you have points. Now you can filter out the first point very easily, using PointFilter where $Index > 0 (because the first point is always index zero). To get the last point, use the NumPoints node followed by a Maths Subtract node and filter out where $Index >= (NumPoints - 1).

@tijmdevries2222 8 ай бұрын

Just filter index 0 and max index to get the first and last point. I use it a lot.

How to make the fence fit each other properly when placing on a circular boundary environment? This works fine when when the Fence line is straight , but when it gets Circular , angular gaps start appearing between the fences, and if you try correct that using Z rotation , say you made it look nice and proper at 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock of the circular fence perimeter, then that also works for its diagonally opposite 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock but for any other directions, ANGULAR GAPS start appearing between the fences. How to make the fences stick to one another in a circular environment? Anyone knows any video that points the solution to this problem please?

@AkitaMix 3 ай бұрын

Better use spline meshes instead. With spline meshes on a spline, you can 'weld' meshes together; with PCG, you can't.

@darylobert 2 ай бұрын

Moving the offset of the rotation to the middle helped a bit .

real mess with ue is that noone tells is it good for game dev or just for renders, cause ue covering every 3d industry directions. i think this is too much for game dev but i cant really tell, so it drives me, as a beginner on a path of mistakes using render technology for game creation whitch drives me to frustration.

PCG is 100% meant for games too, not just cinematics, but as always: if you make something too complex or use too expensive elements you can ruin the performance. BTW, you are making a good point. I also noticed this to be a problem. There are even some high profile filmmakers/designers on KZfaq who teach UE5 and sometimes they make misleading absolutist claims to "always" or "never" use specific setting for best cinematic offline-like look, disregarding performance completely and pretending like nobody uses Unreal for gamedev. It's not a problem when they acknowledge the context and make a disclaimer, but more and more often I see some advices that would be terrible if implemented in a game and they will tell you that it's the only correct way, because they only care about rendering pics and videos.

This is 100% not a game-friendly approach to make a moss.
