Hi, thanks a lot! I want to make sure if you are using UE 5.4.4 Seems people are having problems after this releas of unreal, I`m investigating

@@defect6189 thanks for the reply i updated unreal engine to 5.4.4 but pcg blueprint class not working only this pcg blueprint class is not working everything else is working

@@Burkhaniddin can you reach me on discord?

@@Burkhaniddin Join our server pls, we had some progress on it, you might help us a bit by testing a simple theory discord.com/invite/qNw5ynM

I`m currently working on a huge update, perfomance is somewhat better but no huge difference. It is already optimized as much as possible, so you can only use lower generation quality preset or use less meshes.

Follow documentation pls defect.gitbook.io/defect-marketplace

I`ve created chunks system, but seems its overkill in 5.4.

@@defect6189 overkill you mean you don't need so much points or that it's too heavy on performance?

@@IstyManame No, I mean there are more tools in 5.4 to handle this now then in 5.3, but I started in 5.3 so...

@@defect6189 Wait there are official workarounds? Do you mind sharing some pointers? It's a pretty big issue for me, sorry for bothering

@@IstyManame Yes, no problem. I know that they have partitioned grid now, and to my unrerstanding it is intended just for that. I didn`t touched it yet, so can`t be more helpfull, plus there is not much info about it

Unfortunately epics wont allow sellers to release without latest engine version support. 5.3 and 5.4 is completely incompatible in my case, and maintaining two different versions is a nightmare(( I had everything ready for 5.3 but they wont let release without 5.4 support

River is for 5.3 aswell, but I stopped support for it. It still works well there

@@defect6189 thanks for the explanation and best of luck to you, definitely some of the best foliage i have seen. I will wait a bit before i convert my projects to 5.4. Will keep an eye out and keep doing phenomenal work!

@@defect6189 Let's say this is 5.3 compatible and u start supporting 5.3 version, do you think this can be game ready, i know the required specs are higher for a game, is this somehow flexible as in you can tweak settings and make it more performant?

@@uavisionx I've squuzed max from it, its just nanite + lumen are so perfomance intensive. Realistically speaking I think it will work well for production in next gen of graphics cards. It is ok now, but most of the people don`t have even rtx 40 series yet. But you can check realtime demo anyway

It uses nanite, so it doesn't matter much. Still very consevative, 1,5 mln for largest trees, why quxel trees are up to 10mln

Hey, thank you! Loading times depends directly on meshes count. There is absolutely nothing I can do about it. We are selling it for $60, extra is for your taxes. If you find it expensive, we never niss a chance to take part in sales, usually 50-70%. I love mawi work, bit it`s $400, so I don`t know how can you possibly compare it. I`m going to stick to my releases plan, I would go on with PCG and so on, not planning to change anyting about it. I beleive Epics will improve it at some point

@@defect6189 it's ok, just gave my feedbacks on why I won't buy as it is 👍

Also you're doing baking and other process at the beginning for sure, like lods. With nanite and runtime gen you don't need to wait so it's not epic's fault, you can already improve loading times a ton.. try hierarchical with runtime and avoid lods and hlods

@@MarioCola Oh, could you reach me via discord an explain a bit more? I`ll really appreciate that as I was struggling with that for long time. I can add you to our secret chat, where I will annaunce, how you can get our forest for $5 (minimal price possible on marketplace) in return, thanks! romab_maswell

@@defect6189 sure, happy to help if I can, but it's pretty easy In the PCG volume settings in outliner turn on is partitioned and runtime generation, scale the volume always with brush settings not scale Then in the graph enable hierarchical instancing and add grids between the get landscape nodes and the rest (don't use input output those are deprecated) In the static mesh spawner change component to hierarchical instance static mesh and you're now good to go and able to play with different grid sizes I suggest also to add PCG gen source component to your player blueprint, you can also choose in the outliner settings of the graph how much distance and direction from the camera will affect the runtime gen Set higher grids for bigger meshes you want to be able to see from a distance and smaller ones for closer objects, I even spawn flocks of fishes underwater, dynamic lights etc If you want I can send you a link to a block-out build of my environment, on my machine it takes 16 seconds to fully load from clicking the exe to everything rendered and ready, and I don't compile shaders beforehand on this 7x7km environment I didn't want to hate on your asset, but it's no usable if it takes 12mins on my machine to just load a small landscape

no jokes, thank you!!! Is there a way you can add a road spline to it?

@@veith3dclub LOL, I`ll start releasing twice as fast now)) Road spines are in my list, I`ll definately add them some day.

Hey, thank you! I`ve experimented with masks, and i`ve found that forcing lod bias to 0 for alpha works best in my case

@@defect6189 that works aswell yes!

Hi! it`s not plugins, it is a finished asset www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/pcg-biome-forest-poplar-interactive-foliage-trees-wind-system-nature

@@defect6189 yeah sir , can u show how to use all river , foliage , trees , wind etc..) can u make complete tutorial?

@@prasannabn7439 This video is a complete tutprial for my asset ;-) all features covered

Thank you)) Hope you like it))

unfortunately you won't be able to use your plants. Or rather it is possible, but you need to have very advanced knowledge, if you still decide to do it, you will have to do it yourself, the support of this package does not include the addition of third-party plants.

Yes, my goal is to do a biomes, not a tool for creating biomes, but it is still possible if you are an experienced user

Thanks

Thanks, man.

Thanks! I`m improving it constantly)) I`ve found a way to greatly optimize shader and working on it right now))

Thanks a lot!

Yes it is 🙂

It is, check the demo

What do you mean? All assets included, river biome is sold separately, but I belive you can get the idea if you watch tutorial or play demo th-cam.com/video/ClyXTDiG8Ro/w-d-xo.html

@@defect6189 I mostly meant that from what you're showing I found it unclear If you're just selling the assets themselves or if you're selling them and you've also set up some PCG functionality that we can use from the get go.

@@ceejay1353 I see, it is both, an assets and PCG biome system, with complete poplar forest biome with presets. More to come next

Yes, it sold separately. It is here for compatibility demonstration, tried my best to make it clear on marketplace

It is already, hope you enjoy!

@@defect6189 awesome thank you !

Thanks a lot! It is released finally))

Thanks!

It`s approved already, I`m finishing screenshots, documentation and tutorials

It is finally released))

@@defect6189 Got it! 😜

agree

Hey man, thanks, you are absolutely right! I can do watewer wind effect I like (I might do it someday as a proof of concept, as I`m greatly interested in this), but it just won`t run in realtime:-) leaves are in the 5 level of hierarchy, I`ve simplified it`s movement down to the bones))

It`s not released yet, how could you buy it?

@@defect6189 i am talking about the river, no tutorials about it. This one would be same?

@@deutsche-schule Did you checked documentation? defect.gitbook.io/defect-marketplace

@@defect6189 Thanks, will try.. but its better to have full tutorial about those marketplace stuff..

It is released now))

I`m hoping it will be out in a week or so)) It works only with landscape. Regarding optimization, it`s optimized as max as possible, but it is still extreamly heavy. It is true next-gen, maybe even targeting rtx 50 series))

@@defect6189 Okay :) Week is good

@@gdl-nik It is out now! ;-)

@@defect6189 Super 🔥 Thank you

Thank you! It`s justa huge angle on directional light and cloud shadows. Plus some color grading in post-process volume. Other than thet it`s just standard unreal engine))

@@defect6189 Thank you very much!
