Just one note, regarding the displacement: set the Magnitude to 0.1 in the default material , duplicate the Blend intensity and Roughnes, plug them in the Displacement slot of the material and use the two scalar parameters (7:40 in your tutorial) to adjust the properties. I've made them as separate parameters, so I have more control. It's just and added function I've made on my own material, using your technique. And, by the way, THANKS! Big time! I've been struggling for almost a week to find a good, simple, efficient and, in the meantime, complex landscape material. This tutorial helped me build my own, and, I may be bragging, but it is better than all I've tried so far. THANK YOU and keep up the good work!

How are you enabling displacement with this setup? I've followed many tuts but it doesnt appear to work for me. Im on 5.3.2

dude nice to see new videos from you !!! have a happy new year man

"1+click" creates a scalar, "2+click" creates a 2-vector, etc so to quickly add 4-vector node just do "4+click" and you'd get 4-vector. Also on the same note when you right click on graph editor and contect menu shows up type "*", "/", "+" "-" to get multiply, divide, add, substract, etc Speeds things up quite a bit

You helped clarify a lot in the most understandable way possible. Excited for your future advanced landscape material videos. Nice work!

Not sure how, I can barely keep up as he just clicks places and does shit and You constantly have to back up over and over and try to see what he is doing.

Thanks man. This is like 10 times faster than unraveling those secrets from the Content folder by trial and error. You saved so much time for so many people.

You have so much knowledge on key aspects of unreal for virtual production. I'm currently in my first year of a degree working on live visual design for our production parks VP studio. I was curious if you were ever planning on releasing an online course or masterclass on unreal engine in virtual production as for me personally it would massively help my growth and understanding 🙂

Hey! So i actually teach 2 classes at Gnomon Online right now if youre interested. 1 is an Intro to Virtual Production and the other is a World Building course. www.gnomon.edu/academics/individual-courses/course-list/introduction-to-unreal-for-virtual-production/ I hope to see you in class soon!

I've been looking for this for hours.. For a simple yet powerful setup. Thanks so much for Your time! Would You know how to add wetness layer? I am trying to get that in but blending doens't seem right.

@roy_tanmoy 3 ай бұрын

great neat video, thanks for sharing just one question is that why you chose ARD for texture_object to connect to the Texture_variation? why didn't you chose albedo or the normal?. Also still didn't understand the last vector4 you connected in the texture_variation node

You, mister. I LOVE YOU! Holy damn you know your stuff. Please make more videos, talk about stuff I want to learn from you!

The texture variation node hooked up precisely as you have it here does absolutely nothing to the tiling on my texture

Thanks for the tutorial, some nice tips in there. Does Nanite landscape tessellation work in a packaged build for you? I tried a lot of things out to get it to work with nanite but when in a packaged build the landscape just gets broken into triangles with no tessellation. Standalone mode works fine though.

@DallasDrap 5 ай бұрын

I havent tried it with packaging yet tbh, however i do know that in 5.3 its more of an experimental feature. I think i saw somewhere with 5.4 coming out early next year that it will be more stable so fingers crossed that works!

Great video! One feedback is the resolution is quite low from a 1080p monitor, its hard to read, i guess you use either 4k or 8k monitor which makes the interface smaller so thats why.

@Blairjones3d 3 ай бұрын

You forgot to add the Slope Blend function 😆 I'd love a tut on how to intergrate one into this material setup mate

First of all, thank you for the tutorial, it's great. But there is a problem, when you record it in the format of your screen, then when you play it the text in the tutorial does not look good, many times what you show on the screen cannot be read, I would recommend you record the tutorials in normal format and not in 21:9. It often makes it difficult to see what you are explaining. Thanks again.

landscape layer blend when connected to my material attributes node, gives the error [SM6] (Node LandscapeLayerBlend) Cannot mix MaterialAttributes and non MaterialAttributes nodes. Any idea? Great video btw.

@bamlyolo3109 5 ай бұрын

Do you have a snip of your graph?

@DallasDrap 5 ай бұрын

Could be a few things, for starters make sure that what's going into your landscape layers are "MakeMaterialAttributes" or if you chose the Material Function route, make sure the MakeMaterialAttribute node is plugged into the output and the output is plugged into the layer blend. When we reduce the material output to that single pin, if you for example plug in just 3 Albedo maps into the landscape layer blend, its not going to know how to read that, so when its just the 1 pin it needs to be a material attribute node going into it, otherwise you can keep the material output node extended and plug in the individual base color, normal maps and all that stuff, but that way in my opinion gets a bit confusing and combersome which is why i didnt show it :P hope this helps!

Hey i followed this tutorial but when i have more than 3 types of material on one tile of the landscape then it just doesn't work

You have to change the textures setup to shared wrap in order to work

Kinda mad why they just didn't put roughness on the red channel.

Why do the colours always look grey and muted? I think the same colour grading brain rot that infected the minds of DPs in Hollywood nearly two decades ago has evidently seeped into the minds of game developers as well. I'm sick of infantile anime wankfests and their toxic neon colours, and I'm sick of the grey-brown-yellow look endemic to UE5. It's so depressing to look at. It makes me feel ill. Why does UE5 have this opaque, matte aesthetic? It looks like ugly log footage from digital cameras. Lumen bleaches everything it touches, and I hate bloom.
