It takes a little while to setup your Landscape Painting Material - But, once you've got it, the actual painting process is pretty simple :) Hope that helps!!
For anyone finding this using version 5.5, to get the layers to appear now as shown at 1:02, you should see a new button on the Layers tab that says "Create Layers From Assigned Materials". It should be right next to another button that isn't present in this version that says "Create Layer." The layers should appear now. From there you still activate them as shown in the video by assigning a weight blend. I hope this helps anyone as confused as I was.
Ok, royal i'm not kidding, you're a genius. I was just watching a 20 min tutorial but you managed to explain all that in 2 mins......... SUBBED. This is EXACTLY what i was looking for. Someone who gets straight to the point.
People should be aware there's also a whole setup where you can change what brush gets painted based on altitude, slope, etc etc etc. It's pretty complicated, but if you're making large landscapes, it's worth learning to set up. I'm not sure if RS is planning to cover that, but "unreal auto landscape material" should find long-winded rambling tutorials about it.
It looks handy but it won't work for me. I've followed RS 2 min tutorial for auto materials click by click for 2 hours and it just doesn't work in UE 5.3. All the other tutorials are like you said, long winded and rambling to the point they forget to teach. Gonna have to do without it. If there is a better one, maybe I'll find it.
@@Iamgoldmanthere something that I don’t understand, I follow those procedures step by step it end up not working for. I don’t know if there’s a different way in Mac 🖥️.
Folks watching this for UE 5.3: if you get an issue where the material is all black and you can't actually see the layers in the Paint > Target Layers > Layers section, you need to name each layer in the Material Graph for your new material. 1. Click on the Landscape Layer Blend you made. 2. Open each Index in the Layers section, and put in a Layer Name. 3. Do this for every Index in your layer. 4. Duplicate the Layer Blend and follow the video to set them up for Base Color and Normal. After this you should be able to see the materials in the layer and continue to adding LayerInfo for each of them.
thanks dude ,there was literally 30 min tutorials about this and they dont even work , thanks for this gem , straight to the point , nothing else , really appreciate it
well I just learned something in 2 minutes that I couldn't figure out in 2 weeks. And I've been searching a LOT for this kind of a tutorial. Thanks, man!
@@nanshire2278 don't know if I understood the question, but, first you need to split the rgb chanels of the map, each chanel is an individual map itself, you just need to check wich one is each and plug them respectivelly
Have been trying to figure out how to paint onto an imported heightmap (with satellite image added). Want to use the satellite image as a reference for painting. Still haven't figured it out ha
For some reason when i follow this my landscape has a black shadow that wont go away. Ive legit followed the video 3 times and the shadow wont go away. When im real close and i move my camera i can see the textures are there but they are like covered up by a high opacity black or something.
dope great video didnt take too long and got the the point, most tutorials everyone complains that people are too fast but im the opposite I think they teach too slow! You spit it at us at a speed i think everyone can follow along to
If anyone is experances crashes when connecting the Normal and Texture maps on the graph to the Layer Blend a fix that worked for me is to have an increased texture streaming poolsize. The command you'd want to use in the console command on the bottom left is r.streaming.poolsize [IMPORTANT] (input the amount of VRAM inside of your GPU as I have 24gb I put in 24000, if you have 8gb then you do 8000) so for me the command I will write would be r.streaming.poolsize 24000. I hope this helps anyone that's had this issue when using 8k textures or a lot of materials.
How do I actually use separate landscapes? Every time I apply my material to whatever I have sculpted it applies it to everything on the map, is there a way to just have mountain have mountain rock then the rest grass?
Oh my days! An actual tutorial channel that doesn’t piss-ass around making a simple tut like 28 minutes long. FINALLY someone who gets straight to the fuckin’ point. Subscribed.🫡
Thank you for the video! Just like you have, I have a 3rd texture (The yellow looking texture ((Not colour, or Normal)) - How would you implement that into the graph alongside everything else?
Thank you Royal for tyhis i watched couple of tutorials they were bably explained or too much going on but this was easy to understand and short so thanks
ive jsut watched it back and have no idea how u dragged the texture and colour maps in from 3 teextures turning it into 5 . is there a shorcut or something you need to press to separate the stuff or am i dumb
the only issue is the tiling. The tiling doesnt work preoperly doing this. IT jsut zooms in on the material. So most materials used will look bad basically zooming in on 1 tile and making it the entire landscape. So it may jsut be 2 huge leaves instead of highly detailed numerous leaves per tile
HELP!!! i do it 100% the same way and nothing happened 😅 i activated my 3 materials and save to surfaces but wehn i will paint, nothing happened At the beginning i use gras material for landscape material Maybe its the problem?
its crazy to me that this is not allready bake into the engine its like having photosop without the logic done. but dont they just honestly do a plugin for this , that supports everyhting like virtual textures, texture bombing etc. so toy dont have to spend 2 weeks just creating a fully fleshed out world material
I made everything according to your setup, but when I put the material onto the landscape it appeared pitch black. And under the Layers in landscape mode, there is some Heightmap, not my custom materials. What could get wrong? Any idea? Thanks *** EDIT - I already fixed it
@@nirvanbarketaian bro, it has been a while, so I am now not sure what exactly was the problem, but I guess I only switched from Paint card to Sculpt card by accident under the Landscape mode..(that is why I was seeing the heightmap) There were some issues still with some blackening on landscape tho, but I just switched to upper 5.2 version of UE and seems to be fixed. Good luck.!
Indeed you need to go to paint, but if then you dont see any layers, go back to the material, click on the top Layerblend node, in the details window give both layers a name, the same for the other blend node, also give them the same name
Is anyone else having issues with layer blend breaking the material when you put the normal maps in? it jsut turns to a glowing white ball. Feels like a bug. i have my blueprints set up exactly like this :( or maybe its my materials i downloaded from the bridge?

Sounds like a must-have for landscapes, especially if you are aiming for a realistic art style.
Sounds like something that should be provided by default like other engines figured out long ago.

The best tutorial for Landscape Texturing! Straight to the point and functional! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the fast tutorial, so many tutorials are long-winded and half of it is just the teacher breathing and mouse clicks. This was awesome
i wish all tutorials were this quick and to the point! :)
the megascans have a map for roughness and some other stuff, it's the greenish yellowish image, if I'm not mistaken, the green channel is routhness
How do you add the 3rd map for roughness into the graph?

@@PDR_Dini, okay. Do you know how to do that with multiple textures? i am stuck on this part and can't seem to find an answer
when assining the material make sure to select the Landscape File from the outliner not the landscape mesh and you can see it working fine
Awesome as always
Exactly what I was looking for, described perfectly. Fantastic !
This worked perfectly, I made 6 terrain textures with this fine example...THANKYOU!
i once watched a 1 hour video for the same information.
thanks alot for this short video !
Perfect, everything Perfect

another great video

Always efficient and helpful. Aces.
Great apart from the tiling look. The Landscapelayer coordinate node just made the tiling bigger or smaller but it's still there

감사합니다. 최고에요 :)
Is it possible to use this on static meshes? and instead of painting each layer, can you use an albedo texture to "paint" where each material goes?
easy simple concise, thank you sir!
Is there a quick way to blend like this but also add in the displacement maps? Using the yellow materials that come with the megascans materials?
Awesome video, thank you so much!
This was incredibly fast 😂 I have to go back as I missed a few things!
very clear!
thank you! good thing that epic games made the ue4 and ue5 interfaces almost identical
Godbless this youtuber
i like those fast videos i can learn faster instead of long videos that do the same thing
thangoo very fast and informative .👌
a hero
Can someone explain me why my materials doesn't appear on the left in paint when I put the material into landscape material ?
1:54 what fantastic song is that ??
brilliant tutorial just like i like it
Thank you Royal for tyhis i watched couple of tutorials they were bably explained or too much going on but this was easy to understand and short so thanks
HELL YEAH! YOU DA GOAT
Fkn pure. thanks man
how do you plug rgb separately? for pbr materials
I M HAPPY THAT BLENDER HAS THE EASIEST PAINT TERRAIN
My good man, is there a way to change the size of just one material without changing the other two? Great videos too btw :)
thanks!
why are you not using ORM map?
very helpuful thank you
How do you get the textures to not repeat when painting?
Thank you
Can u make a tutorial on auto material?
I can't open the landscape window. How can you do it ?
How can I fix overly repetitive tiling within this setup?
I love you Sir
thank you mannn
Just watched 2 of ur videos. Amazing ! Insta sub!
Super Useful Video!!!
ive jsut watched it back and have no idea how u dragged the texture and colour maps in from 3 teextures turning it into 5 . is there a shorcut or something you need to press to separate the stuff or am i dumb
he did multiple materials
When i put normal maps become like emissive material.
the only issue is the tiling. The tiling doesnt work preoperly doing this. IT jsut zooms in on the material. So most materials used will look bad basically zooming in on 1 tile and making it the entire landscape. So it may jsut be 2 huge leaves instead of highly detailed numerous leaves per tile
I think I made everything step by step (I even slowed down the speed of the video to follow), but I am unable to paint - everything has rocky tiling
This layer has no layer info assigned yet. You must create or assign a layer info before you can paint this layer.
is there a max amt of materials you can add?
no
Set it up, but the material is all white. Your node says "layer blend', my version says ' landscape layer blend'
I've learned more in there 2 minutes than from this past week at school....
HELP!!! i do it 100% the same way and nothing happened 😅 i activated my 3 materials and save to surfaces but wehn i will paint, nothing happened
At the beginning i use gras material for landscape material
Maybe its the problem?
Hey bro,when you landscape for mobile, it lags much more. Is there a solution?
GOAT
its crazy to me that this is not allready bake into the engine its like having photosop without the logic done. but dont they just honestly do a plugin for this , that supports everyhting like virtual textures, texture bombing etc. so toy dont have to spend 2 weeks just creating a fully fleshed out world material
how do u get rid off repetition?
what if i want to increase the normal value?
things like this should be automated. it's so many steps for repeating the same stuff for every landscape brush
I made everything according to your setup, but when I put the material onto the landscape it appeared pitch black. And under the Layers in landscape mode, there is some Heightmap, not my custom materials. What could get wrong? Any idea? Thanks *** EDIT - I already fixed it
how did u fix it
i have the same problem
@@nirvanbarketaian bro, it has been a while, so I am now not sure what exactly was the problem, but I guess I only switched from Paint card to Sculpt card by accident under the Landscape mode..(that is why I was seeing the heightmap) There were some issues still with some blackening on landscape tho, but I just switched to upper 5.2 version of UE and seems to be fixed.
Good luck.!
Remember to click on the plus for the layerinfo inside paint mode (landscape mode)
Indeed you need to go to paint, but if then you dont see any layers, go back to the material, click on the top Layerblend node, in the details window give both layers a name, the same for the other blend node, also give them the same name
hero
am i being stupid, but as soon as i add the material it applies it to the whole base layer and i cant paint brush it acts more like paint bucket
Maybe your tool strength is too high? check the settings/details
At 0:59 when I add the material to the landscape, I don't get the three materials under layers as you do. Any clue?
Me to i had this problem...but you have to set UP name of layers in the blendinglandscape node....its work... Dont jump step...
@@pascalarchange8363 i dont get it plz explain
Is anyone else having issues with layer blend breaking the material when you put the normal maps in? it jsut turns to a glowing white ball. Feels like a bug. i have my blueprints set up exactly like this :( or maybe its my materials i downloaded from the bridge?
