Stylized Grass Tutorial

Рет қаралды 132,195

Күн бұрын

In this tutorial, I share my way of creating stylized mesh grass. First of I started form grass mesh creation in Maya, and try to form small bunches of grass. Then I import grass mesh to Unreal Engine 4 and make a master material for the grass. I talked about how to set up virtual textures in UE 4. I also talked about how to set up this material and RVT textures property. This method is very flexible because you can easily change color and shape of the grass to fit different seasons. Also you can easily use this method in Unreal Engine 5.
Hope this tutorial will be helpful!)

Guys if anyone is having issues with distortions on your grass color, like small noises, it solves by making your 'wind line size' bigger, way bigger! Also, using levels to make your wind noise map with more contrast, that will solve issues too!

I had a problem where I kept getting darker blades of grass appearing between the others which looked bad. I worked out that "tangent space normals" needs to be turned off for the normals to work (in the material details>material>advanced) I also had my material set to two sided which caused some darker blades, so I turned that off. You don't notice the grass being one sided to it's fine. Great tutorial. :)

Great tutorial Victoria, thank you for taking the time to do this, it's very much appreciated. I have a small issue in that the grass doesn't take on the colour of the landscape, even though I have the RVT setup and assigned in the grass material. It's updating too, as I can see the colour in the rvt colour swatch (I did have to use your trick of sculpting and then flattening again). My project settings have virtual textures turned on and I've restarted. Have you any ideas why the grass might not be adopting the landscape virtual texture? I'm using UE 5.0.3. Thanks again for a great tutorial, the final look is really nice. Interstingly, it works fine with megascans grass assets (it adoptys the colours once I assign the same material to it), but not with the one I created myself in Maya for some reason!

@@SeanForsythTutorials If you ever plan on picking your project back up, try sculpting anywhere on the landscape, then use the flatten tool and start from where you sculpted at and flatten the rest of the landscape so everything is flat again. After that, all you need to do is click set bounds for color and height. I hope this made sense 👍

Hey, I posted a comment and then deleted it because I didn't read the other comments. However, I did solve my issue propper by increasing the contrast in my Wind Noise Texture. Essentially the Values where to similar, and too high so it was always applying a bump to the colour offsetting it from the landscape. Just make it super contrasting to see if that changes anything and then tweak it from there! Hope that helps!

@warmfingy9244 10 ай бұрын

What color codes did you use for the different parts of the grass?

@Nothingreallyexists Ай бұрын

Just throwing this out there but I think the wind-line, while its cool, I cant seem to get it to work in UE5.3. In practice it didnt work, but I understood the concept of what you were getting at with adding a wind-line and I think adding it would definitely add some value to grass. I think the problem is something with the masking setup, or the divide before the mask... if i switch that divide to a multiply I seem to get 'some sorta result' even tho its not remotely like the windline you have. I wonder if that windline references a different texture coordinate?

@Nothingreallyexists Ай бұрын

Optimization happens when you profile your projects specific needs. Its very difficult to say if this would be "optimized enough" as thats entirely subjective to your project. This grass creation process outlined here seems to be relatively inexpensive for my project, and I'm making a FPS/3rd person game. IT really all depends on how much resource you want to use, polygon, texture sizes, UE4 vs UE5, etc.

still really loving this! but I had one question, that or (or maybe someone else) can answer ;D. Can I use a texture from my landscape instead of just the 3 different colours used in the tutorial? I see in some games that the landscape has a texture that looks like flat grass on the floor and I want to use something similar. But I am not sure how my grass will look like.

@akbutea_art 8 ай бұрын

Yes, you can use texture. The grass will have the color of your texture.
