Hello! 👋 Mao here, It is time for another Environment tutorial! This time we are touching landscapes and the water system to create an Island! Want to learn to create an Action Game from scratch? Go to www.unfgames.com/action-game and watch the first lesson for FREE! If you liked this video, subscribe for more! Comment below what kind of Tutorial you would like to see next!👇 You can find my Gaming channel on: www.youtube.com/@maomaopvp & www.twitch.tv/maomaopvp Edit: Since the release of this video we got some frequent questions about the same topics so I will put them here with the solution: Q: I don't see the Landmass Blueprint A: Make sure you enable Landmass plugin, restart the editor AND Enable Edit Layers before creating your Landscape Q: I don't see my water: A: If it is the first time you put it, it will take some time to load. In the video I loaded it into memory before so you don't have to wait, but typically you will wait a few minutes. If you still can't see it make sure you put the Water on the right layer. Above the base can work.

dont know if someone already mentioned it; around 1:18:10 when you're painting foliage on the water plane; its usually way easier to just unclick the "static meshes" button in the foliage editor "filters" section. this way youre only painting on bsp and landscape meshes. definitely a more effective way than moving your camera beneath the surface every time. anyways, nice tutorial, good pacing. keep em coming!

has nobody noticed the water in the rivers are flowing backwards? this is because he is placing the starting point at the ocean or lake instead of it's actual starting point. this is very noticeable at 31:25 when he joins the 2 rivers together the waterfall is flowing upwards.

What really made me twitch was the river arbitrarily splitting before flowing (theoretically) into the ocean. Rivers don't do that. But hey, for an environmental art tutorial, I can overlook it.

I'm still going through this tutorial, but so far it's excellent content. I had some issues with the ocean visibility that I was able to resolve with the following: While in selection mode, click on WarmBodyOcean > Under terrain, make sure Affects Landscape is disabled. This will stop the water from terraforming when you move the divot it creates. > If your ocean only covers a small portion of your scene and the yellow bounding box is visible, you can extend that by going into Water > Ocean extents and adjusting the values to fit your map.

it is NOT only UE5 is powerful, you are very creative too, and the result a masterpiece ! Even at the start of video, without any objects added into the 3D world, your imagination and shaping the landscape alone is very creative @ 48:15 Enjoyed your video.

Hi If anyone has similar river issues whereby the landscape doesn't form around river and the river floats like a column in mid-air it might be worth checking the following steps 1) Check the splines of the ocean to make sure they form around the landscape, I hadn't moved mine and it meant when I moved the water layer to the top the whole thing went kaput. For some reason I must have missed this part of the tutorial. 2) Move the ocean layer to 0 height. 3) then when I moved the water layer up top I got the following. 4) Make sure affect landscape ticked in details box under Water Heightmap settings I am sure other more experienced people could probs give better explanations but hopefully this helps at least one person.

First of all, thanks for this awesome introduction to Landmass and Water plugins in UE5. It's not common to see a terrain tutorial :)) In minute 18, if you first add a Water layer in Terrain Mode and then, add the water body in select mode, your terrain doesn't get destroyed. When I added the water body at first, the water layer wasn't automatically being created and the water body brush was in the landmass layer content. Just a question, how do you get shoreline caustic effect?
