Honestly, I do not understand why people disliked this video. At least they have to acknowledge the effort that is put to make this and it is actually free and so are they, to leave if they do not find it useful.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏 I like to focus on the positive side that this might be helpful to some people, and I understand and respect that might not be useful to others as well. I’m a beginner in this TH-cam journey so like everything, I’ll improve with time and practice to provide better content. 🤞💪
I downloaded the file to use PCG spline because I was too lazy to create one myself, but I found many other files and ready-made materials, especially the curtain
this is game changer, looking forward to more amazing tutorials like this, It really helps when we are able to see every single part of your process to learn
We recognize your effort and work to contribute your knowledge to the community, thank you very much for contributing to the common good, a hug, you are incredible!!
That’s awesome! Thank you for your kind words and I’m glad you could take some tips for your own workflow. Got tons of content planned but I’ve been stuck with some projects, I hope to start doing more exercises soon 🤞
Thanks Miguel! Interesting that you create a copy of the project to use on the Cinematics. I can see both pros/cons to that - curious how it benefits your needs. I'm debating whether or not to implement the same process.
Thank you for watching John! I migrate to a new project to have a leaner one and then create two or more versions depending if is going to be playable or not. In the cinematics one, fps are not that much important, so I can crank up the quality settings and use a global post process volume. If is playable, I might create more than one ppv to control exposure changes and quality settings to gain more fps. I might even create a level with baked light if is ever needed.
that's a lot of things to learn right there in this video tryna recreate this just to learn the tools although it's kinda long but gotta do it it's gonna help for sure great work
Thank you! Take your time, it’s divided in small chapters so you can jump back whenever you need. I’ll mix it up with long and shorter videos for future content.
@@mdandrade it would be great if you could show the example of modeling on just 1bed room apartment in Blender and export this model to UE5, step by step this video is must-have for Archiviz since UE doesn't want to release an official addon for Blender like datasmith . Thanks a lot in advance!
@mynextchapters thank you for the feedback and ideas! Definitely I’ll add modelling to the next exercise. I’m planning to do the next one on improvements onto our template so we can have an array of standard material instances ready to be used on the next project. My plan is to do projects progressively and add things up until we’re able to make one with full interactivity and packaged, ready to play.
Hola Miguel! Interesantísimo material! Muchas gracias por compartirlo! Hace tiempo que vengo entusiasmado con la idea de poder llegar a hacer "recorridos virtuales" con Unreal. De momento solo tengo creados los modelos 3D en Sketchup! Quisiera aprender a usar Unreal, pero lo noto un poco "inalcansable" (por lo complicado que se lo ve y los requerimientos de hardware que imagino tiene). ¿Crees que pueda llegar a hacerlo funcionar con esta configuración? 😕 - Notebook Asus Vivobook - Procesador: i7-8550U (8va Gen) - RAM: 16GB DDR4 - Discos: SSD 240GB + HDD 1TB - Placa Video: GeForce MX150 2GB GDDR5 Muchas gracias! Saludos!
Hola! Un placer! Y trabajar en Unreal es una pasada luego que aprendes las funcionalidades básicas, el hecho de poder trabajar en tiempo real y hacer el proyecto interactivo es genial. La verdad que te recomendaría una tarjeta gráfica más potente, sobretodo RTX, mismo que sea de la gama de las 3000. De otra manera te va a costar trabajar con bajos FPS y no podrás usar todo lo que ofrece Lumen. Hay un dicho en los forums que es VRAM is king, quiere decir que entre más GB de memoria en tu gráfica, mejor para trabajar en Unreal. Saludos!
Hi Miguel, thanks for your useful tutorials, I really appreciate it. I followed all the steps you suggested for pebble displacement, but it is not working for me. I can't see displacement. Do you have any idea why it is happening to me?
Hi @pegashba thank you for watching! Let’s find out, in the master material, can you see the displacement being active? If it is, have you set the landscape mesh to be nanite (only works for nanite meshes). Try that, if it doesn’t work, please join the discord channel and I can share some screenshots or quick video.
Hi miguel !!! Thanks you for those videos, this channel will be really usefull for me !! I still have a question, what is the point on Migrate the project ? not sure I understand this part Thank you very much !
Thank you for your kind words! I hope to keep improving on the content too! I do it so I can have a leaner version without the assets I no longer need in the project and I save some disk space too. I only do this when I’m happy with the general look and I’m ready to finish the project.
such a great video thanks alot for all this 🙏.. brother i have a problem when i put PCG i cant control every vertex when i click on it the shape turns to rectangular red with out any Gizmo!!!
Hi there! Thank you for watching! By any chance are you using version 5.4? If so, in the Blueprint, click Spline and then on the details panels click on Override Construction Script. See if that works.
Hi Miguel, Thank you for doing this great tutorial. I tried to follow this exercise, but I'm having a problem using materials or models from Fab. Every time I assign the material, the objects turn black. However, when I use path tracing, they look fine. I created a new level, and the Fab material is fine using Lumen. Only your template is causing this. Maybe there is a setting that I need to change in your template? Thanks in advance.
Hi! It is probably because the Allow Static Light is enabled for you to control the ambient occlusion in your materials. You can either disable the Allow Static Light in your project settings or enter into the master material of that asset and assign a value of 0 to AO.
@@mdandrade Thanks, Miguel. I turned on/off the AO, and it works. However, some fab materials' base texture doesn't show in the material editor even though it is ticked; only the normals, roughness, etc., are showing. The only solution is to recreate the materials using the basic method.
@@mdandrade Thanks, Miguel. On another topic, regarding the displacement map using an ORM texture, to make it work, you need to use red instead of blue in MF Displacement and enable tessellation in the Material detail section. It took me a while to figure it out. Thanks
@leodarwinorjalo7216 thanks! I tend to use the blue channel because it’s commonly used for metallic and 99% of the time I don’t need it in my workflow and I prefer to leave the red for ambient occlusion, which I like to control a little bit more.
Is it possible to describe closed places that have nothing to do with the landscape, such as a mall, a warehouse, or an abandoned place far from homes, because the design of homes has become somewhat common and boring، Great video, keep it up my friend ❤🎉
Hello, thank you for this tutorial, i am architecture student and i rly appreciate you . One question : is it better to model in 3dsmax or in Blender? Ty !
Hi Tomas, I’d recommend you to try both and see which one you enjoy the must and which seems easier to you. I started in sketchup, then 3dsmax and jumped into blender for economics reasons but I also enjoyed it much more and became faster too but some other person will have different feelings about that. Good thing about 3dsmax is that it’s widely used in the industry so you’ll probably get more job opportunities if you want to follow a archviz career in a studio. If you want to focus only on Unreal, Twinmotiom, D5, etc, then either of them will do just fine.
@@mdandrade Thank you once more, for your quick response. I just want to mention that i appreciate how you manage your folders and materials, meshes, everything while woking in EU, i watched first half an hour of tutorial video and i will make sure i become as disciplined when it comes to managing files because it rly speeds up the workflow...Right now im going outside for some fresh air and tonight im jumping back on your tutorial.Keep making Videos -Subscribed
Ah thank you Tomas for your kind words and supporting the channel! I’m preparing a new video starting from zero and more structured than this one as this was made a little bit as an improvisation rather than a clear path. I’ll too take a long walk with the dog to get some fresh air, have a great weekend.
@@mdandrade Okey, im looking forward for the upcoming video, take your time and do it right, i'm glad i have found your channel ! Have a nice weekend yourself !
if you are working in 5.4 and tessellation does not work, you need to not only enable the plugin, enter the commands in the engine parameters, but also enable tessellation in the Perent material!!
Bom dia, Miguel, o conteudo, do video, e fenomenal, nem imagina como ajuda, adorei o seu trabalhos, a forma como ensinas no video. o Ficheiro que disponibiliza, tem coisas, que é uma mão na roda, mas se tiver algum video a esplicar como usar, tipo os background, era ouro sobre azul.
Bom dia Amilcar, obrigado pelo apoio e o carinho. Fico muito contente que possa ajudar com estes vídeos. No meu outro canal expliquei mais ou menos de que trata essa blueprint do background. Mas também irei mostrar na prática e como aplica num outro exercício. th-cam.com/video/pecG-VuTlrM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tkdpM6pjKCptKU8P
Obrigado pela atenção, ja vi o video, como sempre espetaculo, tenho umas perguntas, de forma a optimizar, um workflow, tem coomo contactar? eu sou de cabo Verde.
Thank you! I work with Blender and sometimes with sketchup. I did use datasmith in the past when I worked with 3dsmax but I thought it was a little bit messy at the time. So I preferred to divide the meshes in landscape, structure, furniture, etc, and export them in fbx format, that also allows me to find them easily by name.
At 1:03:24 had a PCG vertex duplication then jump to next subject without any explanation so quicly that hard to notice, such a tiny movement which can be miss easily, took me so long to understand why your spline had an extra vertex than I do that you can drag. Then I found out that you can duplicate vertex while alt press down and drag a vertex.
Sorry about that and thank you for taking your time in leaving a comment to help others who might have faced the same issue. I’ll take notice for future videos and pay attention to those jumps.
@@mdandrade No thank you for this awesome tutorial! I am on 3 hours mark currently 😊 no other issue so far, easy to follow. I really like the idea of treating you like gym buddy. Hopefully one day I can find something useful to trade you back. Or maybe give me your email (only if you are comfortable with it) to share my work when I'm finish this beginner course.
Not sure if you got ArtStation or Behance, but I do recommend it for posting your work and to create an online presence, it certainly can help you in the future.
Do you think will it be good if we do all the Exterior & Interior Cameras first after adding Static Meshes and before all they other steps? That way we only need to do works what in camera views produce instead of everything?
It’s up to you to be honest. If you’re doing the project just as a cinematic render then you only need to show what’s in camera. If it’s for interactivity, it won’t matter much as you’ll need to look at it globally and think what the player will see in-game.
Hi Pavel, I use Blender. I used to work on 3DsMax but for some reason I find more fun to model in Blender than max. I became way faster and it's free to use :D
Thank you very much for the video. I could not move forward in the section we created with PCG. can you help please. After adding trees to Static Mesh Spawner, spline sampler gives error. [Error [BP_PCG_SplineDyt]. One or more rows of the spline interior failed to sample (intersection test failed). Ensure the spline points are not overlapping.
Hi @ turgaysavaci thank you for watching the video! Please try to add a new spline and make sure they don’t overlap when extending or creating new points, just as a test and see if works. As a matter of interest, are you using version 5.4 or 5.3?
Hi @aneia8987 you can download it for free here mdandrade.gumroad.com/l/mhtutorialfiles?layout=profile I'll set up a drive share for future downloads too.
Hola, yo uso sketchup, acabo de leer que el modelo para el ejercicio está en Blender, se importa y se trabaja de la misma manera? Quiero hacer el tutorial pero tengo esa duda, gracias
Hola Mateu, si claro, puedes importar el fbx a Unreal sin problemas. El tutorial mas reciente tiene la parte de sketchup incluyendo el uso de datasmith.
Opah, foi o que deu no final haha 🤣 muito obrigado William! Espero poder seguir partilhando mais conteúdo que possa vir a ser útil! Saudades de Portugal 🇵🇹 a ver se consigo dar um saltinho para a Madeira agora na Páscoa.
Anda aproveitar esse solzão incrivel que vai estar, já agora comprei os ficheiros no gumroad por 5 paus (não é nada comparado ao valor deste tutorial mas prontos) para ajudar com alguma coisa e motivar te a fazer mais cenas :) um abraço.@@mdandrade
Hi @pegahsba I did it to reduce the size of the project in my hard drive. Of course you can leave it as it is, I do it when I I’ve got too many assets in my content browser that aren’t needed it in my scene.
Thank you for your feedback and thoughts. There is also Twinmotion, D5 Render, Lumion, the one from Vray, eeve from Blender, there are many options out there perfectly valid and they provide amazing features and results. I prefer Unreal because I enjoy working on it, I can do interactive walkthroughs like a video game and brings flexibility in career paths as I can work not only on archviz but also virtual production or video game development too, that’s my personal view and why I jumped into it. I’m glad that you can get better and faster results with Enscape.
Sure you can do! But just remember to keep your polygons count low. For a game you’ll ideally want it to run in as many systems and hardware as possible.
Hi @truvalican you can download it for free here mdandrade.gumroad.com/l/templateupdatematerialinstances this one is the updated one. On the video before this one we created a template called basic.
Si poco a poco, lo que tarda un poco es el modelado, pero en menos de una semana se puede completar tranquilamente. Ahora siempre falta es el tiempo que toma el cliente a decidir y cambiar las cosas 😆
Hi, i have a weird issue with shadows. I made your pallette from your last video so i could go along with you in this chapter. But when i go for example to the bathroom part of this house, it's getting so dark i can barely see even brightest spots on the ceiling, not to mention the room itself, it's pitch black. Any help will be appreciated. And also i have very weird noise on reflective sufaces, like woodes floor and walls inside the house.
H Dani, does this happen with or without the trees? And also what are your values on the exposure of the post process volume? You can crank up the skylight too if needed to bring more light or even use rectlights, but it should work as per the values I had in the video. You can join the discord channel and send screenshots if you wish discord.gg/wHEzSAej4j
Hi Migual. At 42.55 I'm having a problem with "Nanite Tessellation" code that you have explain. I'm using Unreal 5.4, and the displacement don't seem to have change. Could you help me with this problem please.
@@amawedebouko7833 www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download Bonjour, vous pouvez également regarder ma vidéo unreal from zero qui montre le processus d'installation.
Something is not working =( I inserted BP_PCG_SplineDty into the viewport, I edit the size. I add PCGG_ForestSet to the pcg graph parameter, but the generated mesh is not displayed in the viewport. I reworked a lot of things. If I go to PCGG_ForestSet and click debug on spawn static mesh, then the mesh appears in the viewport. Help)
@@disabeld32 I'm hoping that with each new version we can see less bugs because it has happened to me too when I don't know why PCG is not working as expected. I think 5.4 has been more stable for me.
i have little problem can you help me ? problem is (Your scene contains a skydome mesh with a sky material but it does not cover that part of the screen) all empty black scene,s
Hi Gabriel, you need to increase the size of the sphere, 1000 works most of the time for me. At around 2:13:38 you can see I increased the size of the sphere so the backdrop looks better. This is assuming that the meshes are placed in coordinates 0,0,0.
Me again!! Mithering you again about another problem I have this this time it at the 1:01:08 time when I add the "BP_PCG_SplineDty" it appears I can't move the vertices when I try to move a single one it moves the whole thing. when I go into the BP editor it tells me "The node is disabled and will not be called. Drag off pins to build functionality" this is on all three nodes; I don't know this is because I'm using U5.4. What is it I need to do to active the nodes Miguel?
Hi there! I just tested it and indeed I couldn't move the spline on 5.4. Please open the blueprint BP_PCG_SplineDty and select the spline, then goi into its details and check Override Construction Script. This would make the points available for selection and transform.
@@mdandrade I have come across another problem. I'm now adding the trees to the scene and the PCGG_ForestSt isn't showing any trees. sorry for being a pain.
@user-tb2le8er9l no pain at all! I’m here to help. Is not showing any trees at all when you add them in to the PCG graph? Try putting other meshes to test out the graph.
It was done over two days including editing. It was freestyle, sort of like I had someone by my side and I was explaining what I was doing during the project.
Thanks for the feedback! I thought beginner because there are no blueprints, functions or UI elements involved but I’m always happy to take advice and improve on the next one.

if you are working in 5.4 and tessellation does not work, you need to not only enable the plugin, enter the commands in the engine parameters, but also enable tessellation in the Perent material!!
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Bom dia, Miguel, o conteudo, do video, e fenomenal, nem imagina como ajuda, adorei o seu trabalhos, a forma como ensinas no video. o Ficheiro que disponibiliza, tem coisas, que é uma mão na roda, mas se tiver algum video a esplicar como usar, tipo os background, era ouro sobre azul.
Bom dia Amilcar, obrigado pelo apoio e o carinho. Fico muito contente que possa ajudar com estes vídeos.
No meu outro canal expliquei mais ou menos de que trata essa blueprint do background. Mas também irei mostrar na prática e como aplica num outro exercício.

Obrigado pela atenção, ja vi o video, como sempre espetaculo, tenho umas perguntas, de forma a optimizar, um workflow, tem coomo contactar? eu sou de cabo Verde.
Podes entrar no Discord discord.gg/3h4CTJNSE9 é mais fácil
Thanks Miguel always whit a very good video content
Thank you for your support Engram! 🙏 I hope you solved the issues you had with your last project.
Thanks, yes i can resolve last project problem. thnaks to you, thanks mate@@mdandrade
Awesome! Sorry I didn’t reply as quickly as I could but I’m glad that all went well in the end.
Don't worry, just by dedicating your time to helping other people, it is already an act to thank you. @@mdandrade
Thank you!
Respect friend❤
Thank you 🙏
Hello. Thanks for your time and work! I Have a question. In your template PCG Spline it doesn't work in UE 5.4?
Hi there! I’ll need to check on that, and thank you for letting me know, I haven’t upgraded it to 5.4 but will do it this week.
Very cool! :) When Importing, why not use Datasmith?
Thank you! I work with Blender and sometimes with sketchup. I did use datasmith in the past when I worked with 3dsmax but I thought it was a little bit messy at the time. So I preferred to divide the meshes in landscape, structure, furniture, etc, and export them in fbx format, that also allows me to find them easily by name.
THX for the answer :) @@mdandrade
At 1:03:24 had a PCG vertex duplication then jump to next subject without any explanation so quicly that hard to notice, such a tiny movement which can be miss easily, took me so long to understand why your spline had an extra vertex than I do that you can drag. Then I found out that you can duplicate vertex while alt press down and drag a vertex.
Sorry about that and thank you for taking your time in leaving a comment to help others who might have faced the same issue. I’ll take notice for future videos and pay attention to those jumps.
@@mdandrade No thank you for this awesome tutorial! I am on 3 hours mark currently 😊 no other issue so far, easy to follow. I really like the idea of treating you like gym buddy. Hopefully one day I can find something useful to trade you back. Or maybe give me your email (only if you are comfortable with it) to share my work when I'm finish this beginner course.
Not sure if you got ArtStation or Behance, but I do recommend it for posting your work and to create an online presence, it certainly can help you in the future.
Do you think will it be good if we do all the Exterior & Interior Cameras first after adding Static Meshes and before all they other steps? That way we only need to do works what in camera views produce instead of everything?
It’s up to you to be honest. If you’re doing the project just as a cinematic render then you only need to show what’s in camera. If it’s for interactivity, it won’t matter much as you’ll need to look at it globally and think what the player will see in-game.
Thank you much! In what software was made geometry of buildings, 3DS MAX ?
Hi Pavel, I use Blender. I used to work on 3DsMax but for some reason I find more fun to model in Blender than max. I became way faster and it's free to use :D
Thank you very much for the video. I could not move forward in the section we created with PCG. can you help please. After adding trees to Static Mesh Spawner, spline sampler gives error.
[Error [BP_PCG_SplineDyt]. One or more rows of the spline interior failed to sample (intersection test failed). Ensure the spline points are not overlapping.
Hi @ turgaysavaci thank you for watching the video!
Please try to add a new spline and make sure they don’t overlap when extending or creating new points, just as a test and see if works.
As a matter of interest, are you using version 5.4 or 5.3?
Great🎉🎉🎉
Top! Só podia ser tuga
Hi Miguel. I am at the very beginning where is the Meshes file in the content drawer? Thank you
Hi @aneia8987 you can download it for free here mdandrade.gumroad.com/l/mhtutorialfiles?layout=profile I'll set up a drive share for future downloads too.
Hola, yo uso sketchup, acabo de leer que el modelo para el ejercicio está en Blender, se importa y se trabaja de la misma manera? Quiero hacer el tutorial pero tengo esa duda, gracias
Hola Mateu, si claro, puedes importar el fbx a Unreal sin problemas.
El tutorial mas reciente tiene la parte de sketchup incluyendo el uso de datasmith.
miguel porrraaaa es o maior man... ur the fcking best!!!! tutorial de 8 horass?? INCRIVEL cumprimentos de portugal :D
Opah, foi o que deu no final haha 🤣 muito obrigado William! Espero poder seguir partilhando mais conteúdo que possa vir a ser útil!
Saudades de Portugal 🇵🇹 a ver se consigo dar um saltinho para a Madeira agora na Páscoa.
Anda aproveitar esse solzão incrivel que vai estar, já agora comprei os ficheiros no gumroad por 5 paus (não é nada comparado ao valor deste tutorial mas prontos) para ajudar com alguma coisa e motivar te a fazer mais cenas :) um abraço.@@mdandrade
Ah muito obrigado William 🙏 amanhã quando beba um copo vai a nossa 🍻
Hi Miguel, I don't understand why you migrated the project? what was the reason? what if we don't migrate the project?
Hi @pegahsba I did it to reduce the size of the project in my hard drive. Of course you can leave it as it is, I do it when I I’ve got too many assets in my content browser that aren’t needed it in my scene.
@@mdandrade I got it, thanks :)
thank u❤
You deserve to go to heaven bro. I wish I had money donate you. Thanks a lot
Thank you for your kind words 🙏 Just the fact that I can help improve with new content is enough for me 😁
@@mdandrade I promise I will share with you my first income U earn using UE5. Otherwise it wont be fair for me. Thanks again
YOUR TUTORIALS ARE OUTSTANDING, PLZ MAKE YOUR VOICE MORE ENERGETIC. IT HEARDS TO BE SLEEPY.
Thank you for the feedback! Probably is the winter in UK, in the summer I’ve got more energy 😅
@@mdandrade 😄
I appreciate your effort, but we can do it more better with very less time in google sketchup and enscape rendering engine
Thank you for your feedback and thoughts.
There is also Twinmotion, D5 Render, Lumion, the one from Vray, eeve from Blender, there are many options out there perfectly valid and they provide amazing features and results.
I prefer Unreal because I enjoy working on it, I can do interactive walkthroughs like a video game and brings flexibility in career paths as I can work not only on archviz but also virtual production or video game development too, that’s my personal view and why I jumped into it.
I’m glad that you can get better and faster results with Enscape.
I'm new in unreal engine, but is it possible to build house in architecture regime and transfer it to game as an asset? Thank you
Sure you can do! But just remember to keep your polygons count low. For a game you’ll ideally want it to run in as many systems and hardware as possible.
Hey Miguel, I don't have the basic option in 5.3.2. What do you think the reason might be?
Hi @truvalican you can download it for free here mdandrade.gumroad.com/l/templateupdatematerialinstances this one is the updated one. On the video before this one we created a template called basic.
thank u
Hay mucho trabajo detrás.
Si poco a poco, lo que tarda un poco es el modelado, pero en menos de una semana se puede completar tranquilamente. Ahora siempre falta es el tiempo que toma el cliente a decidir y cambiar las cosas 😆
Hi, i have a weird issue with shadows. I made your pallette from your last video so i could go along with you in this chapter. But when i go for example to the bathroom part of this house, it's getting so dark i can barely see even brightest spots on the ceiling, not to mention the room itself, it's pitch black. Any help will be appreciated. And also i have very weird noise on reflective sufaces, like woodes floor and walls inside the house.
H Dani, does this happen with or without the trees? And also what are your values on the exposure of the post process volume? You can crank up the skylight too if needed to bring more light or even use rectlights, but it should work as per the values I had in the video. You can join the discord channel and send screenshots if you wish discord.gg/wHEzSAej4j
Hi Migual. At 42.55 I'm having a problem with "Nanite Tessellation" code that you have explain. I'm using Unreal 5.4, and the displacement don't seem to have change. Could you help me with this problem please.
Sorted I't Migual👍
Ah sorry I didn’t see the notification, I’m glad you sorted it, I haven’t tested 5.4 yet.
@@MikeRoyle-t5cI am facing the same problem, could you please help me, how did you solve the displacement problem?
Bonjour Grand , Svp comment télécharger et installer unreal5.3?
@@amawedebouko7833 www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download
Bonjour, vous pouvez également regarder ma vidéo unreal from zero qui montre le processus d'installation.
Something is not working =( I inserted BP_PCG_SplineDty into the viewport, I edit the size. I add PCGG_ForestSet to the pcg graph parameter, but the generated mesh is not displayed in the viewport. I reworked a lot of things. If I go to PCGG_ForestSet and click debug on spawn static mesh, then the mesh appears in the viewport. Help)
Hi! Have you added collisions to the ground?
By trial and error, over a bunch of hours, something worked)
@@disabeld32 I'm hoping that with each new version we can see less bugs because it has happened to me too when I don't know why PCG is not working as expected.
I think 5.4 has been more stable for me.
i have little problem can you help me ? problem is (Your scene contains a skydome mesh with a sky material but it does not cover that part of the screen) all empty black scene,s
Hi Gabriel, you need to increase the size of the sphere, 1000 works most of the time for me. At around 2:13:38 you can see I increased the size of the sphere so the backdrop looks better. This is assuming that the meshes are placed in coordinates 0,0,0.
Me again!! Mithering you again about another problem I have this this time it at the 1:01:08 time when I add the "BP_PCG_SplineDty" it appears I can't move the vertices when I try to move a single one it moves the whole thing. when I go into the BP editor it tells me "The node is disabled and will not be called. Drag off pins to build functionality" this is on all three nodes; I don't know this is because I'm using U5.4. What is it I need to do to active the nodes Miguel?
Hi there! I just tested it and indeed I couldn't move the spline on 5.4. Please open the blueprint BP_PCG_SplineDty and select the spline, then goi into its details and check Override Construction Script. This would make the points available for selection and transform.
@@mdandrade Thank you!! I appreciate your help, and it works
Thank you for letting me know! I haven’t used 5.4 but will give it a go this weekend because for the next exercise I’ll use this new version.
@@mdandrade I have come across another problem. I'm now adding the trees to the scene and the PCGG_ForestSt isn't showing any trees. sorry for being a pain.
@user-tb2le8er9l no pain at all! I’m here to help. Is not showing any trees at all when you add them in to the PCG graph? Try putting other meshes to test out the graph.
sir, can i use this model in my youtube video??
Sure! But please give a shout out to the channel in case someone wants to follow the tutorial and channel.
Thank You So much sir !!
I`ll Post link of this tutorial and i`ll give you attribution@@mdandrade
9hr.....瑞思拜!
😅
How did you even focus for 9 hours?
It was done over two days including editing. It was freestyle, sort of like I had someone by my side and I was explaining what I was doing during the project.
40:50 nanite
..and the title says.. Begginer course... lol.
Thanks for the feedback! I thought beginner because there are no blueprints, functions or UI elements involved but I’m always happy to take advice and improve on the next one.
9 hours!!?? geez
I Need AT3n3 Folder🤣
Hi Suraj, please check my pinned comment, you can download the template for free.
be regular
Will do my best 🤞
Dam this one hell of a long video
😅
10x for the video♥
