UE4: Creating Splines with Non-Destructive Landscape Layers - Complete Guide - Part 3/3 Tutorial

Full Tutorial, Video and Notes: www.worldofleveldesign.com/ca...
Unreal Engine 4.24+ gave us new landscape layers. This means you can now edit and modify your landscapes non-destructively. In this tutorial learn how to use Landscape Splines with new non-destructive landscape layers.

I love how you go into detail and explained everything so clearly!! Every tutorial on TH-cam does not do that so well as you do!!😂 Thanks!

[@ripunjoyk3617]

I almost was mad thinking that how can we use the splines to apply material and searched and searched and came to a halt thinking it's not possible I guess. But then you emerged from heaven today. Thanks a lot to you man. You deserve the likes😍👍

[@benblaumentalism6245]

Very articulate, eloquent, and lucid. I appreciate the time you freely give. Thank you.

[@MicMan2710]

Watched all three of these videos. Helped a lot learning UE5 even though a few things are different now. Thank you

[@bentripn]

Another excellent informative video, thank you very much!

[@davidjohnfranco]

Thank you so much for this video. Everything I needed to know !

[@robbie_]

This is a good video, very clear. Thnks for sharing.

[@PeterLeban]

I was wondering when will you make this spline video, because I think they've become one of the most powerful landscape design tools in Unreal. :)

[@sams_3d_stuff]

Thank you so much dear sir!

[@shadergt2610]

Thank you!!!)))

[@mae2309]

THANK YOU, you sexy beast!! I always wanted to know this topic. cheers

[@crawling1020]

very useful thks a lot~~

[@Video-by6lp]

Thnak you !!!

[@matteckenrodt]

Am I able to access the landscape spline layer in blueprints to be able to have for example a train that follows that the spline automatically?

[@markcastro9480]

I have a question. Why doesn't the spline point get created when I hold CTRL and left click ? I've been trying it many times and have followed all of your steps.

[@zigastrmsek2]

13:17 when i name it to my layer i want to use, nothing happens no matter what I do. it worked before but now it just won't. even if my layer blend is set to none weight and alpha blend

[@ArcaneRealities]

Is there anyway to make the cobblestone actually follow the direction of the spline - the way the stones are laid down dont follow the path in the way a road would be laid down right now the way you have it - so is there a way to rotate the placement of the stones to follow the splines curve ?

[@Dexxter_slav]

Same question but probably not. You will need a Mesh spline for that. Or did you found the solution?

[@mb.3d671]

Would there be a way of putting a nav mesh on just the landscape splines?

[@slim-jb3it]

hey , im having a problem with splines icon or the control point not showing how ever you call it . when i put it down there is nothing until i put down the next one and it just creates nodes , but the icons are invisible , how can i fix that?

[@AdireetiVlogs]

Sir when I use material from megsacns for rads the texture are not in right direction how to rotate the material

[@RCsFinest]

Is triplanar mapping also an option for doing the texture projection?

[@danielsmith3257]

Can you manipulate landscapes at runtime yet in UE4?

[@rohunggul]

what to do if i want a reverse of it. i have a flat landscape filled with roads and buildings and houses, and i want to make all the meshes to follow the terrain if i sculp the landscape, could it be done? thanks

[@jessicahinkins7804]

How do you make the splines smaller?

[@gaming4K]

i don't have the edit layers tab and my landscape doesn't move up with the splines. .

[@zeon3d755]

How'd you apply a material layer to a spline? I am trying to do it in UE5 but failing.

[@josephyoung6161]

My landscape dont move with the splines. Why?

[@massivetree7937]

Have you tried this with World Composition? I'm having all kinds of issues with it.

[@WorldofLevelDesign]

I haven't tried this with World Composition yet.

[@massivetree7937]

@@WorldofLevelDesign When I try it, Unreal ends up freezing on me at some point. So badly I have to actually restart my computer to quit Unreal.
I'm guessing since World Composition and these new procedural landscape tools are being worked on for 4.26 that the system isn't exactly perfect yet.

[@WorldofLevelDesign]

@@massivetree7937 That's what I heard too that World Composition is getting a make-over with new UE4 version and the new non-destructive layers aren't streamlined together yet.

[@mt.boonholdingslimited8168]

Why don't I see this on 4.26.2?

[@stormolflak]

👍

[@michaellhenson731]

My cobblestone doesn’t look as clear as yours. Mine is see through

[@WorldofLevelDesign]

This is because cobblestone layer needs to be set to LB Alpha Blend and as Non-Weight Blended Layer.
