DUDE this is so simple! I love how you went through piece by piece and included mistakes and showed corrections. So simple yet extremely powerful. Don't mind people that are saying 'ThIS iS wRoNg!!1" Like, we all see ways we can change it. That's fine. The biggest thing is that this makes SENSE to me. Thank you for this tutorial!

18:50 I'd recommend using variables instead of constant numbers as much as possible. GREAT TUTORIAL BTW. I love how you don't have a lot of fluff at the beginning.You get straight to the point.

Thanks a lot now my project will have some good random buildings.Really nicely explained to the point that i begin understanding the technik.I will improve it and mak it random so when you plop down the building is different each time.This System will go well with the random material i created to color or tint the models randomly per instance Thanks so much grate tutorial.

Followed the tutorial just to realize that at the end you just manually add floors. This was sorta a useful tutorial as you show us how certain things work, but not very practical. It would have been more useful and practical if you did a forloop and stored the floors in an array. Then for every floor stored in the array say: Add windows and dormers (which you can check on and off). That way you don't have to manually add a variable for >every< floor. Saving that extra 20 minutes of times or 200 minutes (if you add 30 floors). Nevertheless, thanks for the tutorial I did learn a few things, but I personally am not going to use this. Thanks!

Really nice, I learned a lot thanks :D. Just when you did the time laps when you duplicated the node for each floor, just use a loop and in each loop use an array of bool that you use depending on the floor :D.

Hi @Leie Sistal, I was wondering if you would care to explain a little more into detail on how to achieve this.

Very nice! Wouldn't it be better for the performance to use Hierarchical Instanced Static Mesh Components because of LOD generation ? For a city for example.

Really nice Tutorial! It helped me alot since I am new to blueprints. However I have one question : The part where you set the middle floor sections, is it possible to set different meshes for the middle floors that randomly get set? Thank you very much for the Tutorial!

Hello, I'm quite new to all this and just discovered your tutorial, which is excellent for the beginner I am - so many thanks ! Since it's been more than 2 years, I guess you managed to loop the variables in array, in a way like "Hearty Achiever" described ; As for me I just tried that - for the windows details - and it works quite well : 1stWinA is replaced with an array called anyWindowA, and so on for every windows position variation ; As I said, that works just well ; But I was wondering if there was a way to use label as index instead of 0-n, because it displays like, for each variables there are a numbered list option, of course each number relates to the floor number, but it starts with a useless floor 0 in this case... so maybe there is a way to do that more nicely ? Anyway thanks again for this really useful tutorial, learning is exciting and fun that way !! Pierre

Thanks a ton for this helped me a lot. I wonder if mesh arrays and sockets for the positions would be quicker to setup?

So you can't assemble the building using regular meshes and then convert them into Instanced Meshes somehow? I have some complicated buildings I'm trying to do this with and just want to make sure I understand everything before making too much ridiculous stuff in Maya.

Instanced meshes are just regular meshes, but instanced in the construction scripts. Model away, amigo!
@TheAxebeard6 жыл бұрын
I get the idea of them, but not having the ability to move them around in the viewport is what I'm concerned about.
@FlynTie6 жыл бұрын
There is a plugin in the Unreal Store by Mary Nate that does what you want. www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/instance-tool Adding that this is also possible without the plugin, it's just a bit more work involved. What you basically want to do is spawn the instanced mesh and drive its position and rotation through some form of node in the viewport. Have a look at how splines are setup in blueprints since they often use this kind of technique.

Dude, you are doing it in a wrong way. You are making all these things for every floor right? You need a just one method and that method should do the job for every floor. You need a list, and when you increase the floor number, which means you add more floor, you should add that floor to the list. When you decrease, you should remove it from the list. Also you can adjust your windows position based on the previous floor position. I mean you don't have to do that for every floor seperately. I am not UE4 user, I am using Unity by the way. Sorry for bad English. It was a little bit hard to tell. I am not sure if I was clear or not.
