In this video I dip into the world of game development using the Unreal Engine - one of my other many hobbies - and show you how I do some procedural static mesh generation thingy to aid in level design!

Great video, clear and to the point. Although 1080p would have been nice :)

Thanks - I'll have to check my settings on the OBS Studio that I use to record these - maybe I can fix that!

This is a great tutorial. Much appreciated! Would be possible to show how you could use the gizmos to change size (length) for height instead of typing it in?

@HoarderOfHobbies 3 жыл бұрын

Hmmm the way I am doing this one you don't have access to the gizmo for the generated meshes - but let me think of how you might be able to accomplish that idea and if I figure it out I'll make a video :)

This is great, you should do more with UE4.

Thanks! I plan to do more game dev stuff - I also get into a lot of Houdini procedural stuff too and I might do a Houdini/Unreal video as well - but thanks, yeah I'll do more!

Wow this is a great video which I was able to make a road using this concept. But I am now working with getting points from a csv file to and set the spline point location before get the location. But I cant manage it how to get these point without the loop count and repeat width properties

@HoarderOfHobbies 3 жыл бұрын

Sounds pretty tricky - I'll have to play around with importing csv point data and see if I can offer any help!

I have an unusual task. I need to send a static mesh in the form of text to the emitter in real time. I managed to set up the emitter to work with meshes in real time. Also connected the plugin 3D text. It remains for me to figure out how to make a static mesh from 3D text actor in order to give it to the emitter. The plugin uses C ++ and has a scene component inside itself that can give a static mesh description. Is that enough for procedural generation?

Are you using Niagara? I don't think that my methods here can help you much with that - in these methods I show here you'd need a pre-existing static mesh, so you'd have to bake out that 3D text into something permanent for my ideas to work on them I think.

hi if my mesh is a actor BP, how should I modify the blueprint?

@HoarderOfHobbies Жыл бұрын

HI - I'm not 100% sure but play around with changing the type of the repeating item - you'd have to try and pass through any variables that you need to, but if you expose them as public you should be able to

I did everything you did and it won't show the mesh for some reason. I'm using UE5. I've been stuck with this for hours now with no luck.

Sorry I have not tried UE5 yet, so they may have changed something about procedural meshes - I'll try to download and check it out

Hi can it make a instance vertical? like a building floor

@HoarderOfHobbies 3 жыл бұрын

Sure - you could add a loop and offset the Z location based on the loop index and that would make all the stuff duplicate upwards as well - I'll make sure to add that idea to my next video! :)
