In this Unreal Engine 5 tutorial we'll get to creation of the landscape material using the heightmap from episode 1 and weightmaps from episode 2. I'll show the whole process, including importing the textures, setting up the master layer function, individual layers, wetness and colorization functions. I will also show the process of creating auto material for the case where there are no premade weightmaps. I will aslo touch the subject of correctly applying the image as the base texture of the landscape.
You can download the heightmap and weightmaps I used for this project for free from my Gumroad:
tinyredkite.gumroad.com/l/lid...
Or you can download the landscape with materials from Unreal Marketplace: www.unrealengine.com/marketpl...

You can download the heightmap and weightmaps I used for this project for free: tinyredkite.gumroad.com/l/lidardata Or you can download the landscape with material from the Unreal Marketplace: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ca3460d7309940cdaf594dd6d02ca83c In the video I complained about Unreal's "Blend Overlay" function and replaced it with simple Multiply. But Overlay can be easily recreated: multiply the overlayed layer by 2 and then multiply it with the base layer, then saturate. More on the topic in this awesome tutorial: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJyjZ8uXvqelh58.htmlsi=f7AZn75ZliBSFVbV&t=3181

Thanks for all the hard work in this series, really impressive. Just a side note, could you raise your recording levels up, its difficult to hear you, I'm having to raise/double my volume.

@tinyredkite 3 ай бұрын

@TC-1207 Thank you for your kind words! As to the volume, could you please confirm that you have the level in this particular youtube tab to max? I compared it with other tabs I have open, and I didn't have to change the volume at all, and my headphones are on 58%. But I definitely will raise the recording level, microphone is far from maximum. I also speak much louder later in the process, while I'm getting less shy and more excited )))))

@@tinyredkiteSounds like it might be my laptop causing issues, I noticed that other videos (not all) are fairly low as well. I am re-watching this now on my desktop and it is louder but it is lower than other videos but not terrible. I am wondering if KZfaq is adjusting audio levels during uploads, just a thought. Thanks again for all your hard work, keep it up 👍

@TC-1207 Thank you very much for double checking it! And for appreciation of the work I do. I rechecked the volume on KZfaq and actuial video, it's the same. I think that the biggest problem is me - in the beginning I'm very stressed and speaking very quiet. Wait till I become more comfortable and start yellling further in the video, it's like twice louder. I will work on it and will definitely raise the microphone sound for the future recordings!

Very nice. How do we add real world data like tree placement.. roads .. etc .. I’d like to create a digital twin neighborhood.. and it’s a pain. Especially the homes. Have to create that in blender and import into unreal.

Love this series!! I had a tutorial request, can you make a tutorial on making photorealistic auroras in houdini?

@tinyredkite 2 ай бұрын

Thank you very much! Unfortunately I hadn't create auroras in Houdini, so can't help with it at this time. But maybe somebody else already created one?

@@tinyredkiteno worries!! I saw a hda on it but its not that realistic, i'll wait for you to drop a tutorial on it!! take your time :)

Thanks for the tutorial! I met a problem, I followed your steps and created the material instance， in its parameter table I can't see each layers' parameters,,which should be divided with layers' name, but all layers' parameters in some global parameter goups, do you know how to fix it?

@tinyredkite Ай бұрын

Thank you for the comment! If you look at 16:12 (where I show the setup for grass layer), you'll see that each parameter has "Grass" in the name, and also in the bottom left in the layers details you'll see a dropdown with group named "Grass". I didn't emphasize that in the tutorial, but this is how you group the parameters. Simply click on the dropdown and type the name. Then select all the other parameters that should go into same group and select the one you've created from the list. I hope this helped! If not, please let me know, and we'll try to get if fixed for you.
