11:08 If you ppl also have issues with this material function looking completely different in UE5, you can use the "MatLayerBlend_StandardWithMaskEdgeTint" instead. It's basically the same but with some extras that we don't need. Copy it like he does and remove the tint input + bridge the multiply node in the base color (otherwise one of your materials will just be black). Worked for me at least ^^

Doing it this way is giving me a weird effect. It looks like the grass disappears when you get near it.

for future new user, use "MatLayerBlend_StandardWithDisplacement" instead, its the same as the guy use in the video.

Quick tip: when you want to refresh the layer list in the Landscape Tool, you don't have to remove the material, but rather you can drag the same material to the slot. It looks as if nothing happens, but in fact it refreshes that list while making a lot less updates and hence faster Great tutorial!

To anyone running into an issue with the material instance for the grass. You need to connect the RED connection to the multiply node instead of RGB for the T_Perlin_Noise_M Texture to avoid error @ 2:45

I didn't create Material Function at first, just made a big node graph. It seems OK to get the result of this tutorial even I connect RGB channel for the Perlin Noise. When I follow the next tutorial to adjust specular, I spent a whole afternoon to figure out why it doesn't work for me. It turns out to the I should connect Red channel instead of RGB channel. Thank you for your valuable tips!

I was using MANY landscape textures. Even so, I wasn't happy with the look and my framerate suffered. I tried your automaterial blueprints and with only 2 primary textures, and their macro variations, the landcape (20sq.km) came alive. Framerate went from 10 to 45!!! This is not only awesome and time saving, but is very lightweight. Would love to see a tutorial on instancing meshes and foilage for even more optimization.

I would really appreciate to know your approach to that. :)

Thanks for the tutorial, helped me make a nice blend of two materials. How would you add more materials to the mix, e.g. I want to make a mix of grass, dirt (which are two materials I used for the first blend) and dried grass? Edit: opps wrong video, question still stands tho.

I'll add this from another tutorial: if you can't see anything in the preview pane of the material, try setting the auto/generated/blended layer to a preview weight of 1 and leave the others at 0. Essentially they are all overlapping if you don't. I think it is much more helpful for debugging that way!

Hey Sensei, so i just discovered your tutorials, such great work. I have a weird issue with this one, more precisely, world aligned blend doesn't work. With Alpha or Explicit Normal. Material doesnt show anything. But if i go further with your tutorial and add the modified MatLayerBlend into the equation, it works when enabling normalblend. Any idea whats happening?

@MrBalor89 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I have a couple of questions about normal blend: 1. Are there any drawbacks (performance, etc.) of using it? 2. At 12:52 you said there are some scenes where you don't want to use it - what do you mean by that? It looks so amazing, what kind of scenes wouldn't benefit from it?
