Brushify - Build a level in 1 hour with World Creator

[@bbishopp]

If you cant see the materials show up in the paint section at 6:29 , Just click create layers from assigned materials and it should sort everything out for you.

[@blacklord3212]

this is one of the reasons mmos are really time consuming , great work btw :D

[@psy237]

some tips to improve that workflow: 1. regarding getting more control points: below the fractal noise level strength per step, if you set the first step, step 1 (or the second as well), to value zero, you will gain a lot more control points as well, you do not necessarily have to increase the size of the mesh for this, the size of the mesh should fit what you need 2. your world creator resolution should fit unreals landscapes overall resolution, this way you also wouldn't have to deal with the error message and your landscape from world creator wouldn't get distorted and streched for nothing 3. before export from world creator, in the export tab, activate the "flip y" option. Otherwise your landscape would be flipped and not like you set it up in world creator!

Yes one issue with KZbin is that there is no way to make amendments (even Annotations are gone!). Hopefully in the future this trick becomes more obvious in the UI though. I missed it back in 2019 when I recorded this.

wow best tutorial ive ever seen. Good job!

[@unvaryinggaming]

Great video! I am glad you got around to making a video like this. I would agree that modeling software companies need the WSDA keybind movements, it is the main reason I have given up multiple times on Maya/3ds max/blender

[@HavokSage]

Yup, it's 2019! the option should definitely be there. All of the old 3d software has horrible flymode implementations.

[@MarioCardonaS]

Blender has WSAD keybind navigation. You need press Shift+F first.

[@leecaste]

Maya also has this type of navigation but this should be an option not a replacement, I find WSDA for 3D work uncomfortable and very slow compared to traditional navigation. As I said, being optional is the way to go so everybody can choose whatever they want.

[@HavokSage]

@@leecaste it may come as an option first, but I expect it will outright replace eventually. The muscle memory is hard to develop if you don't have it. The next generation won't have that problem as they're going to learn these game engines before DCC's. The superior control scheme will take over eventually. Just a matter of time now unreal and unity adopted it. Game engines will replace almost all offline rendering within the next 10-15 years. Octane in ue4... rtx. Game engines will be the first port of call for future creatives and designers. The rebranding and positioning is already happening with unreal studio. Eventually modeling tools and rigging will come to game engines. I know this because I've seen it working. CryEngines crydesigner was already lightyears ahead in this regard. CE was also the first big game engine to have the wasd control system.

[@leecaste]

I don't agree with that, not everybody that gets in the 3D industry needs a game engine, the only benefit from a VFX studio perspective would be render times but right now it's only viable for few specific cases because the rendering capabilities of game engines (even with raytracing implementation) are far from matching mature production offline render engines and the developers of these render engines are not sleeping while unreal keeps developing. Superior control scheme is your personal opinion, and may be useful in an environment like in your video but if you are modeling a car for example, this navigation is slow AF and in orthographic views (which are used a lot when modeling) WASD would make no sense. Next generations will have diverse interests like every generation, in the VFX industry young people show a lot of interest in Houdini or Blender for example and don't even mention game engines, in the game industry I'm pretty sure it's the opposite. Game engines are just another tool that, as you said, will keep adding features but DCC software will do the same. Being an all in one software that outperforms specialized tools is extremely difficult if even possible.

[@moldysann7083]

Amazing as always Joe! I am always inspired by you and wanting to get into this kind of work. I struggle a lot with storage and PC requirements though. Does World Creator have a free version? It looks to be a really useful tool nonetheless

[@drchopsticks]

Doubt you will see this but why when I select the drop down menu on any of the textures in the paint menu after I have applied the master material (16:32) to the landscape the editor always crashes when I try to select the layer info from the drop down menu on any of the textures or (paints) I have never clicked the plus button because I think that it might screw something up with the pack

[@HavokSage]

Hey, If you go into your Project, then find the 'Saved' folder. Inside there will be an editor .log file. It will give you some information about your crash. That might help you figure out why it's crashing. The plus button will simply create a brand new layer info file in the folder of your choice.

[@drchopsticks]

Joe Garth ok well I would think with my specs I wouldn’t crash in unreal when trying to paint stuff: cpu:Ryzen 7 2700x @3.90ghz ram: Corsair vengeance 2 8gb sticks at 300mhz GPUs: gtx 1050 to with 4gb of vram storage: 1 250gb ssd for Windows 10 and other programs that I need on c drive and a 1tb ssd for games/programs motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX x470-f

@@drchopsticks usually crashes like that aren't down system specs. The only way to know the cause for sure is the logs though. It could be something simple like file/write permissions etc

[@drchopsticks]

Joe Garth but why wouldn’t that tell the editor to ask for admin details if does crash because of that? Idk but thanks for helping with this

[@KyleKatarn145]

RE: WASD navigation for 3D packages, I know Blender definitely has this going for it, and it's certainly super interesting and helpful, though I will say it's only all that useful for larger scale navigation, like zipping through your town in your 3D animation to find the model you want to focus on, in terms of pure modeling for single objects/characters, I'd say orbiting is currently the best workflow for that because it's much quicker to just hold a button and make your viewport adjustments that way.

[@HavokSage]

you can already orbit with a WASD workflow. It's just pressing a key. There's no real advantage to not having WASD... it might as well be there when you need it. In UE4 WASD only activates when you right click the viewport, the rest of the time you can use the hotkeys as normal :)

[@DTS037]

nice video man, thanks a lot !

[@burnsaga]

Great guide. Just a couple questions: 1.) When importing heightmap into Unreal, can you import at a power-of-two resolution (2048x2048) from World Creator? Or would it be acceptable to set the World Creator resolution to UE4's resolution (2041x2041)? This may be why some parts of the landscape are blocky. 2.) I notice an issue with the water when you look at trees in front of the water. It's hard to tell in the video, but if this is an issue, can it easily be fixed?

[@HavokSage]

1. Yes, you can choose 2048x2048 then import to ue4. UE4 will rescale your heightmap to fit whatever landscape resolution you choose (when creating your landscape entity in UE4), this doesn't cause any artifacting, as long as your original heightmap has more pixels. It's similar to a resize operation in photoshop. The landscape is blocky because there is only 1 pixel per meter. That is always the case in almost every modern game. As I explain in the tutorial, the solution is to smooth out terrain and add details using 3d assets, Do not try to create detailed sculpted shapes with the heightmap, it will not look good as there isn't enough resolution there. That's why the landscape texturing is very important, because it's what creates the detail, rather than the landscape mesh itself. 2. That's caused by screen space reflections. You can try planar reflections which will be more accurate, but of course more expensive.

[@burnsaga]
