I am learning things about WC from these videos, but these are very poor tutorials. They skim through topics at the very highest level, don't actually show you most of the steps required to complete the tasks described. They do not talk about the concepts/workflow required to actually understand how to accomplish your own goals. Unlike the advertisements, WC is NOT a zero learning curve application. Like all applications that use complex mathematical formulas to accomplish the final result, they are very difficult to learn, because as a non-math person, none of the terms really mean much to me. All options need to be tried to get a "sense" of what will happen, and there are a lot of complex interactions between different layers. While some of the concepts related to handling these layers are mentioned in the video. The new user is left to stumble and flounder along with no real referenced to what most of the buttons do, and very important concepts simply skimmed over in the most casual of ways. In future video attempts, please explain the editing workflow concepts to achieve different kinds of goals. Show the steps taken to create the effects of the screen, don't just say "look I'm mousing over this thing with this brush selected, it does these neat things and is AWESOME".

where is episode 2 ? that you will work non destructive way on ue

Bro, everything you said about Unreal landscapes and putting it in another video... is actually what I want to hear now. Where's the video stream were you get into those specific details? The documentation confuses me even more lol, 😵‍💫

Can WC export each map array one by one to auto material like gaea?

Dude! Why did you stop? This was such a great series. I'd have loved to see you do a large world step by step.

I like this kind of livestreaming, live debugging, thanks!

Hey mate, thank you for tutorials ! do you know how to export geometry in One unic mesh ? (because most of time is exporting in differents meshes...)

W

man man man, intuitiv ist anders. wo werden die daten beim export gespeichert? Und was hat es mit dem Temp Directory aufsich? Ihr verlangt viel Geld für wenig Software, echt enttäuschend!

Man, this whole video series is rather disappointing. And looks to be more of a cash grab than an actual official guide to using WC2024. The person making the video tells us that he has created a great document for understanding the software, software which we have already payed good money for for by the way. But in order to access the documents information we must join his PATREON $$$. Also, Livestream 1 was the only version that was really helpful with information usable for us now and actually free. And even it was pretty sloppy. Livestream 2 was disjointed and poorly thought out with little information. Livestream 3 was to sell DASH to us $$$. This Livestream#4 takes place using a version of World Creator 2024.3 which isn't even available yet to use. So there is no way to follow along. At 18 minutes in he tries to show us a new feature and it crashes. Once again the presentation is just really unprofessional. I assumed that because this KZbin channel is linked on the Discord for WC that it would provide users with real useful material. But instead I feel like I am being sold snake oil that may or may not work but I still have to pay for in advance. Please, whatever your name is, get your act together. Or if not then at least put a disclaimer at the beginning of your videos that confesses that you are just winging it and trying to make a quick buck $$$ off of WC2024 users hungry for true documentation. Instead what we get is, "Hey there, I made this landscape in no time at all before this video started. Trust me. By the way PATREON, blah blah blah. Look I got a preview version that you can't use, watch me play with it. In answer to all the good questions posed, the coders of WC are working on that for the FUTURE. But for the time being sign up for all the PATREONS and PLUGINS which need you to pay for monthly $$$." Sad... 👽

awesome stream. thanx for the river explanations.

Hello. I don't have much experience but can I watch this and build alonside?

Okay, so I enjoyed Livestream#1 even with the hickups along the way. I found it quite informative for me as a novice to WC and UE5. But #2 becomes useless around 55 minutes in. He crashes his UE5 project and then restarts with a save from the night before. But there is simply no way for me to follow along with this disjointed approach. The video is 4 hours long, I quit after hour 1. Maybe, instead of doing a livestream with us along to wait for him to figure out what he is doing, he could edit a coherent version that doesn't have so much wasted time. And actually have a process which others can follow. I wonder if the DASH showcase was as poorly portrayed? Oh well, I already paid for WC 2024. I guess it was too much to hope that my software would come with some decent video tutorials. :(

Are these not available in World Creator 2 cause I cant find this menu

Hi thanks , may I know what the name of the demo project which has the red car and vibrant interior lightings? Thanks

Awesome tool! Will be picking this up!

can i use all these options in personal licence

Still no tessellation level settings? Ideally the usefulness of using displacement maps on low poly terrain with distance based tessellation allows detail from the maps to pop out. Currently at close range everything is flat. I understand we could increase the resolution of the terrain so the displacement maps can bring out photo scan quality materials but at a price of slower performance.

So I made a mistake when I added my textures/mats make sure your have "Show Biomes" toggled off, to me it's a material/texture on/off button and that can help you see how the biomes transition into each other better. Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust displacement map levels in texture mode and tessellation itself or it just isn't mentioned here - which means it's almost completely useless here until exported to a DCC program that utilizes displacement + tessellation. unless you know some way we can manipulate the height map to see photo-scanned materials pop out?

great as always)

Question: Doesnt the splatmap workflow only make sense if you use weight blended layer as the way the splatmaps get rendered already removes information from underlying layers? Thats how I understood how it works. If you import a set of, lets say 5 splatmaps, you can see that where layer 1 is white/grey, layer 0 is black/grey meaning that by adding all 5 layers together, you basically get 1 ( full white). Using non weight blend only makes sense if every layer exported scales from 0-1 in value, which it doesn't when exporting splatmaps based on my test. Also, wight blend is potentially cheaper since it doesn't require all layers to always be rendered on every component based on their weight.

Hi Tyler, thanks for the stream and the effort you put into this. Where can the document, that you showed us be found? Or isnt it public?

please add ability to change materials and objects in exe presentation mode so we could create it without using unreal engine 😊😊😊😊😊😊

💃 Promo*SM

What should I do if I lose the link? plss

Excellent Stream! That doc looks amazing!! I plan on sharing it with all my Ue students if you make it available! Thanks so much. Material LAYERS are so underused, and landscape textures patches are more or less a hidden secret - fantastic share.

I noticed the landscape sizing might be a glitch of some sort with 5.3? It took FOREVER to delete the components when I imported a heightmap at the default 1k with WC. But when I changed the resolution to 1017x1017, the component size was MUCH more reasonable.

Yeah had a work meeting scheduled at the same time... going to catch the recording. Many many thanks for all you do for the World Creator community. Always look forward to your videos!

Thank you, Tyler. Unfortunately, I couldn't watch the live stream, but I'm looking forward to watching it now. I'm sure I'll learn a lot, as always.

I've been using World Creator for 2 days - Day 1 was going through TP's introductory course for WC, and Day 2 was walking through this livestream and building out the same project - fantastic, I've learned so much, thanks!! What a great basis for a WC to UE workflow :) For anyone else following along, from 3h15m in when the function nodes won't accept input, the correct node type to choose on the Master Material is TextureObjectParameter; this will allow you to feed your textures to the Texture2D inputs within the Material Function.

Hi Tyler, I want to say a lots of thanks for you tutorials in World Creator. As a 3D artist I found it really useful. Short videos, that focusing on a specific topic is so handy to get the knowledge in a fast way. Also the speech and the motion design elements are fitting so well. Thanks you for your work

I am using WC 2023.4...with map tiler...but it does not show much detail even im 8k terrain for the topology...with 1k height map and 1k texture map....can j add errosion flow for crispy details in this version of WC 2023.4?

Is there an artist friendly heightmap program?

Any way to have the software itself figure out where rivers would be due to water runoff like we can do in Gaea?

The gradient type setting is missing in the latest version, did it move somewhere else?

Wow this looks so much simpler than Gaea!

Thanks, I enjoyed this series

Thanks for sharing! I hope there will also be a tutorial on Blender workflow scheduled in the near future...

I update my world creator to newest 2023.4, the Exoprtiong is so confused,Where can I set export folder? all data exported to C:\Users\admin\Documents\World Creator\Export

QWES? What are you smoking man? 🤪It's still the same WASD, but Q&E are down and up as usual [Unreal]

Haven't seen it yet, but I know it's gonna be super useful. Love how WC+UE5 works

This is exactly what is was looking for, can't wait to check it out!

Amazing content. Thank you.

$289 are you kidding me? Get bent!

I bought it last year, the license only lasts for 12 months. Lack of decent tutorials and the multiple versions of the software available at the same time just lead to confusion ad frustration. I have now been using Gaea and it has been a much better experience - better tutorials and support.

nice video but I have some questions...What are the terrain sizes supported by World Creator? For example, if I want to import the file into Unity or Blender, what dimensions should I use?

How to do beaches like the one in " I am " video. Can't seem to find the shorline biome or make it work

Where is the shoreline biome in WC 2023

DID they fold? Links are 404
