Hello!let's solve this. To add the hornbeams trees, you need to go in the marketplace in the epic games launcher. If you type "megascan trees," you'll find a few free collections, and one of those is the Hornbeams pack. Hope it helps!

@@UnrealverseLabs never mind, I figured it out. Even though it says it’s not compatible, just choosing engine 5.3 will add it anyway. Didn’t know this was possible.

Thank you!Glad you like it! How do you math to scale your terrains? We can use a little of math to have a more precise max height.

all good wrong PCG in the level

Good to know!If you have any problems, just let me know

That's a very good question and it would awesome if it was possible. I never did that before, I took a look on the plugin, even in the c++ classes but not luck. If I find a way to do that, I reply you again with the solution. That would something that I'd like to do as well.

@@UnrealverseLabs I know there’s a module in the python library called unreal.WaterSplineComponent, it could be possible to read certain splines with a tag and create a spline with that?

Thank you!I glad it helped, I'll post new videos soon :D

Glad you liked it!

Hello! That's odd. A few people are complaining about similar problems, but I couldn't find the same error testing here. It might not solve the problem, but have you tried another version of the engine or a new project, to see if it's the version or something in your project?Maybe there is something in your project that need to activate some additional plugins.

@@UnrealverseLabs Hello, glad to get your reply. I am currently on versions 5.3.2 and 5.4.1. The 5.3.2 version is normal. In 5.4.1, the water body cannot be rendered in the lens sequence. The same is true for new projects. I have not found a solution yet. No official reply has been received! No matter what, there are other solutions, so thank you! I hope Epic can solve this problem as soon as possible!

Glad you like it! I could do some tutorials in Portuguese but I was wondering if anyone would watch. :D About Glass materials I'm planning to do a video about it. I give you a heads up when I posted. Thanks for the comment man!

@@UnrealverseLabs Muito obrigado, fico aguardando ansioso!

Hello @Josh_Alfaro. The masks that you created on Gaea (Slope, Snowfall, Flow and so on) need the height map generated in Gaea as a Landscape to be accurate. So you need to import the height map (from the erosion node usually) to Unreal Engine and generate a landscape with it. After that you can use the masks that you create on gaea or the textures to use in your material layers directly on Unreal Engine. They will apply the material that in the material layer all over your landscape using the Gaea mask as reference. If you change the Heightmap inside of Unreal Engine the mask won't be 100% accurate and you will need some manual work painting the landscape.

@@UnrealverseLabs thank you!

Can you please make a tutorial on how to make a master material based on height blend? Maybe layers with cliff, grass, and water? This would be amazing!

@@UnrealverseLabs do you know how to turn a PCG instance, say if a mossy cliff with foliage, into an assembly that he spawned in a static mesh spawner?

@@Josh_Alfaro It'll be my next video, sir! stay tuned!

Glad you like it, Sir!

Hello @user-zr9qe7cq8c!Sure. Do you have discord or you're in any platform that we can discuss about it?

Hello @Preirin . If you generate a landscape using a height map e got the data from that landscape I don't see why wouldn't work. You still having issues with that?

You're right!It is also an option do that.

@@UnrealverseLabs Odd a lot of stuff is changed between versions LOL...but I'm getting it!

Thank you for your comment!

Glad you like it!

Thanks for the heads up about the Create Layer Info. I might have accidentally cut it while I was editing. Glad you found a way out!

Since 5.2 👍

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna take a look!also we can use a material on the river bottom using the water system and filter by the material. It works well too!

Hello!For me the Water System is working without any problems on the 5.4 Preview. Sometimes the Water Plugin has some bugs (for still be an experimental plugin) regardless of the version. Have you checked, if there is more than one water brush in the outliner? or test the Water System in other level or even in other project?

@@UnrealverseLabs i ´ll tweek around. thx!

Facing same problem. Suddenly Ocean and river ceased rendering at UE 5.4 preview Pls let me know if you solved it anyway.

Facing same problem, and test in a new project, the water renders in a black shade, Pls let us know if there is a solution.

@@aidz2009 hello!Might be a bug for the 5.4 preview, even though my UE 5.4 the water system is working fine. - Did you try a more stable version like the 5.3 or 5.3.2 to see if the problem persists? - Also, did you change the Water Shader properties directly on the Water Shader material from the Watersystem, if you do that all the changes that you did on the water shader will reflect acroos all your projects. If the problem is across projects the chance to be something with your Unreal version vs Computer or a change directly on the Water System is more likely.

Thank you! It means a lot. As an architect myself, I'm familiar with your courses and they helped me a lot with Vray. Congratulations!

@@UnrealverseLabs Great to hear!

Hello and thank for your comment! Your question is really good. To do that, you need to go in your master material inside of the Unreal, RMB on the material and choose the option "Asset Actions" and then "Migrate". After that you need to choose the project that you want to migrate to.

@@UnrealverseLabs OK. So sort of the same 'process' to get assets into your project from the Unreal Marketplace. Thank you!!! 👌

Thanks!

hello!To rotate the Landscape inside of Gaea you need to hold Alt + LMB and move the mouse to the direction that you want it!

Thank you, I glad it helps! 😁

Hello!Hello! If you want to create a landscape and use the masks from Gaea, you need to employ the Landscape Layer Blend Node and apply the masks in each layer.

Can you make small tutorial on it. I try these in blender but texture resolution was very low and it is not look realistic. But i used other texture from blender market it works well.

Hello!thanks for the heads up, I believe now it's working!

@@UnrealverseLabsYou are the man, I will now get started. =D

@@UnrealverseLabs I just finished completing this one. You do things a bit different than me, was fun to watch =D it's good! I use Unreal Engine for cinematics not for video games, so is always nice to find channels that go over stuff like this.

Awesome! Do you use any different techniques?

@@UnrealverseLabs yes, when I create landscape I make a landscape material where I paint the materials of my choosing on. So I create several layers. Although I recently hit a slight problem. I wanted to create multiple layers AND take advantage of the displacement. But it greyed out sections of my landscape. So when I return to my home I will research it to find out why. I suspect it's due to different heights of each texture. But I can't be certain. Also I'm curious, was the reference photo you used for this from the GOG holiday sale? I saw it on GOG yesterday and was like "I know this photo!!" 😁

Hello! What happens to the normal when you try to rotate?

Great suggestion!I'm currently working on a course that will cover more advanced topics such as PCG trees and much more, stay tunned!

The tutorial about the material will be online very soon 😉! About the casting shadows, I don't remember having problems as such . The real-time capture shadow usually works well. I often do see problems with mesh artifacts on gaea imported height maps, though!

You're welcome!

Thanks!I appreciate it!part 2 in the next few days!😉

Thank you, too!the next one will be uploaded soon!😉

You're cool 😎! Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Thanks! I'm glad it helps!

Happy Christmas! I glad it helps!😁

Hey @michaelkukula. If you're referring to ambient occlusion (AO), you just need to use a Multiply and a Vector 1 Param to control the AO Strength. This is different from Roughness and Normal, as they function differently. Also, for AO, you don't need to isolate any channel using masks if you have the AO map alone. You would only need to isolate a channel for AO if you're using an ORD map.

@@UnrealverseLabs Oh sorry. It showed the wrong timecode for some reason. I meant the normal starting around 4:58

Oh sure, about the normals, it's a bit complicated how it works under the hood, but long story short: We need to mask each channel in the normal because each channel stores different information. Red Channel (X-axis): The red channel represents the X-axis or the horizontal direction. It determines how the surface faces left or right. Green Channel (Y-axis): The green channel represents the Y-axis or the vertical direction. It determines how the surface faces up or down. Blue Channel (Z-axis): The blue channel represents the Z-axis or the depth direction. It determines how the surface faces toward or away from the viewer. So, when we increase the intensity of the R and G values, we're increasing the intensity of how the normal vector is applied to each pixel. Then, together with the blue channel, we translate this information to the texture. I hope it helps!"

@@UnrealverseLabs ah cool! Thanks for the info!

Thank you too!

Yes, you can use this workflow for build your materials and then use Path Trace rendering

Thanks @Gasetasierra! And you can Path Trace using the same workflow!

@@Gasetasierra Thank y❤u

Hey, man. In this specific scene, I'm using the Water System Plugin from Unreal. If you haven't used it before, you need to enable it in the plugins panel. I believe the water system will be a good balance between quality and ease of setup because you can control caustics, foam, and waves with this system. Once you have some water using the water system, you can create a blueprint of your boat with a 'buoyancy' component on it. Set up the buoyancy the way you think is best, and your boat will interact with the water in real time. I hope it helps!

thank you!more to come soon!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, man!I glad it helps!

Thank you!

Thanks for the sub!
