Glad it helped! If you've been enjoying the assets, please consider leaving a review on the marketplace page!

Glad to hear! I'd love it if you could leave a Review on the asset and let others know what you like or dislike about it!

I don't unfortunately! I saw there were already a lot of good stylized medieval/fantasy village packs out there, and I really don't think I could do those any better.

Hmm, I've only ever really been able to match the Genshin style lighting. I tried some Ghibli experiments years ago but they didn't turn out that great. The difficulty with stylized is... there are so many ways to achieve stylized looks, unlike photorealism which tends to follow a pretty rigid PBR workflow~

@@So_Stylized thanks for the answer. Ghibli was just an example and even a tutorial of how you made lighting for this video would be interesting to see

i've also came to this video to see the lighting set up. do you know where i can get some info about stylized lighting? thanks!

If you're using these assets specifically, I have a MPC (material parameter collection) that has a global wind speed and intensity. That lets you turn down wind on all assets. If you're creating your own assets and materials in this style and using the SimpleWind node that comes in Unreal, there should be inputs for controlling speed and intensity there as well.

@@So_Stylized Ah, thank you. I will look for that. I'm using these assets specifically.

Here's the way I handled it, by no means is the "right" way, but it works great for me and maybe you too~ I have the water as a blueprint, which has a box collider wrapping around the surface of the water. This collider only overlaps with pawns or physics actors. When paws and physics objects overlap, they get added or removed from an array. Then there's a timer that runs every 0.1-0.15 seconds that spawns a niagara particle system on every overlapping actor. This system is an extremely simple system that spawns a single water ripple particle. I chose this method because I don't have to worry about setting up any additional code or logic in the future. All pawns and physics props being knocked around in the water will create ripples. I even made a multiplayer test project using these asset awhile back, and was happy to see my friends were also creating ripples as they ran around! Hope this helps~

@@So_Stylized Thank you, that's so nice of you! I was stuck on how to make the niagara follow the player on the water BP! I'll try it! Thank you very much again :) !!

@@So_Stylized if you don't mind still helping, where i need to make an array ? On the character BP or the water plane BP, and if i put in the array, the character in it ? and is the timer, "set timer by custom name" ?

​@@kershiveryt1816I make the code/array in the water. If you think about it without code for a second, the water is essentially needing to know "what are all the things disrupting my surface." So the water blueprint needs to keep track of those things. You can use one of those built in timers, yeah. The downside is those timers always run on a steady interval. For me it made the ripples look a little too artificial happening at a perfectly consistent rate. I created a custom even which has a delay, and then I can put a random float into the delay time, and the custom event just calls itself when it finishes, thus looping as a timer. Hope this helps~

@@So_Stylized Thank you so much!

This artstyle is quite fun from a top-down perspective, I played around with it a bit myself while making these assets! About the optional settings~ 1) The Near Clip Plane is only necessary for the underwater transition effect. It helps make the transition less jarring. If you're going to be looking top down, this shouldn't be necessary really. 2) Anti-aliasing methods are something you definitely should experiment around with in your own project. I think for me I noticed the grass seemed a lot more pixelated or smeared in the other settings, but that was because I was looking at it horizontally from down low. Other methods may work better for you. 3) The Shadow Map Method is weird... by default nowadays they have it set to some weird (Beta) feature. For me it was causing all sorts of weird shadow glitches on the terrain, which was solved by turning it back to the default shadow method. 4) Lumen is all about performance. There is a high cost to it, and I've designed the assets to look good without Lumen. Up to you though! 5) Reflection Method was also just a choice I made that worked for my demo scene, nothing special about it. The documentation linked on the asset page has a bit more info on these settings as well.

As for nanite~ Should be just fine! I played around with nanite on these meshes when I first started making them. I'm not sure it'll be a big help to have nanite on, but it shouldn't hurt it really. They're designed to be fairly low poly and well-LOD'd by default to get good performance. I haven't used nanite enough to really know the ins and outs. Let me know how it goes!~

@@So_Stylized Thank you so much for that detailed response! I have learned a lot. I'll definitely let you know how it goes!

Sorry, this video is picking up a bit more public traction than expected! This is specifically a getting-started guide for my Stylized Environment pack available on the Unreal Engine marketplace, linked in the description. That's why the SoStylized pack isn't visible. You can get the Starter Content by enabling it when creating a new project, and the Engine folder can be made visible by pressing the eyeball near a content browser and enabling Show Engine Content. Hope this helps~

My next asset is going to be similar to this one, just with different biomes and rock varieties. After that, I've considered looking into things like that. Medeival buildings, interiors, wood, props, etc.

That would be cool, I've been looking for something similar to the Runescape banks for sometime, but nothing really on the marketplace at the moment :(@@So_Stylized

​@@So_Stylized What Bioms are you considering to make?

I got a big list, but here are some of the top@@testchannel4690 Tropical (already started working on) Pine (different style than the fir) Dark forest Savannah Mangrove Jungle Mega trees Fantasy (imaginary foliage, like Avatar) Desert

This actually is an issue regardless of what I assign to landscape. This isn't an issue with your environment pack. Any pointers would help though.

@@PoopEaterr_27 Hm, I've had a similar message about "Landscapes need to be rebuilt." In that case you can just go to Build > All Landscapes I think. If you've already tried that I might need to see a bit more on your setup. If you have Discord that's the best way for me to help out~

I have a few errors for me, could I add you on discord?

I followed a lot of Prismatic Dev's tutorials on KZfaq :P

Are you sure you imported the full pack? If you check under SoStylized > Materials there should be a "PlayerInfo" Material Parameter Collection. If you open that up you should see a Vector Parameter named "Position" If so, you should be able to, in any blueprint, add the node "set vector parameter value" and then choose your "PlayerInfo" collection and finally the "Position" value.

Hm, I just tested by adding Vol2 to a new Unreal Project and everything seems ok. I've made it easier to get the lighting since making this original setup guide. You can simply go into SoStylized > Demo and bring in the BP_StylizedSky_Lite. That has all my lighting in a single actor. However, you should still be able to go into SoStylized > Maps > CompleteVol2 and find the BP_StylizedSky_Lite in both of these.

Hey craylix, just following up if the problem was resolved or you need ant further~

I'm currently working on Vol II which is a few more biomes of foliage and styles of rocks, but I have a few structure type things on my to-do list such as castles and ruins. Perhaps they'll be sometime afterwards~

nice wood and buildings stuff like gehshin impact style wich ur pack already looks like @@So_Stylized

Potentially, but I'm fairly busy with my current projects at the moment. Maybe down the line~

My assets don't feature multiplayer support yet, although it's been a request.

@@So_Stylized well it is not for multiplayer, but for adding NPC

Lumen really isn't optimized for gameplay yet. It will drop your framerate by about half, and doesn't look all that different except in specific places such as caves. I hope they keep improving it!

for the ugly floor colour issue for reference at 2:46

But anyone who has the issue can solve it themselves if they go into Mi landscape and turn grass maps off in there, Great asset none the less, and by MI landscape I mean in the actual details page NOT THE FLOW NODE CHART

Sorry about that, I must have overwritten it in the material instance at some point! I'll leave a note to fix that for the next update so you won't run into that issue again.

@@So_Stylized Thank you very much, I posted the temp fix but for context alot of NEW people jumping into unreal 5 use your stuff, we alot of the time lack the basic knowledge needed to set up and change these things to fix them, it's half us lacking the know how and other half file changes as you made the asset better through updates. Thank you very much for being so fast and responsive!

Not even close! A few months ago I'd never modeled anything organic in my life, let alone set up the foliage to work in a game engine, but I did have a bit of experience in Blender making hardsurface models. All this stuff was learned through a lot of very helpful free tutorials and a bit of experimentation!

This is very impressive! If you are ever available I'd love to commission you! Are these models all made by yourself?
