Ha, It's actually a texture from another youtube tutorial, I'll try to find a link here. I believe the texture is actually ripped from wind waker.

Yas please! I need ALL the tutorials XD

think it was this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9Z1mct9uczVcqs.html although I took it a pretty different direction. I'll add it to the pile of videos to make!

dont know if anyone cares but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother recently =)

@Garrett Mateo Yup, I've been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)

Sorry for the late reply (man I tend to say that a lot). The biggest reason that grass will be dark on one side is that 3D lighting engines have to cheat or make simplifications in a lot of ways in order to run well enough in a game. One of these cheats is to cheap out on the calculation for light that bounces off of a surface. UE4 will simulate a couple bounces for static light, and I believe zero (could be wrong) for dynamic lights. This means that your grass looks good when it's lit directly from the front, but dark or even black when it's lit from the back by light scattered off of the ground or other grass. The fix will depend a lot on your setup. If your directional light is "static" or "stationary", which it is by default, you've got some options. One expensive one is to turn up the number of simulated light bounces. I'm not sure if that setting is in the directional light or world settings. This can increase your lighting build times though - it's actually one of the easy changes people do in order to get photo-real scenes for stuff like architecture visualization. Cranking up light bounces can make your scene take ages (as in hours) to bake lighting, and you don't want to do it if you don't have to. This isn't a great solution, and I don't believe it's a solution at all if your skylight is movable. Your better bet is to change some settings in how your foliage interacts with light and shadows. A common setting is to make grass cast but not receive shadows, because casting shadows onto grass can be expensive and can also break the illusion a bit. You can play with the settings in the details panel a bit, to get the right combination of lighting features. You likely also want a "Sky Light" in addition to your directional one. A sky light adds a bit of ambient light from the skybox, and configuring it can get your shadowed areas to feel more correct. Finally, you can make changes in the material. Ensure the lighting mode is "Two-sided foliage" instead of "subsurface". You may need to crank up the subsurface parameter so that light passes through your material more easily. If the lighting conditions are consistent you could kind of use a hack and just make the material unlit, passing the color directly into the emissive channel. Hopefully this helps, I'll be playing with grass again soon here so if I come across anything I'll post another comment!

Thanks, seriosuly.

used one fom internet. i really like shader complexity and triangles count of that!
