Awesome video man. Just my two cents - You got a knack for this, you should totally continue this series. Biomes, continents, oceans, maybe even rivers and lakes which are surprisigly annoying haha. Something like Sebastian Lague's ecosystem stuff perhaps. You're one of the only people making quality content in this area! Good job my guy

just store all generated chunks, i think it would be better

Where do we find those textures? Are they from the starter content? I couldn't find them... Again, great series! Thank you!

they are from quixel megascans. here are all textures i used in the video - bright desert sand - dry cracked mud - grass dried (with green grass) - rock cliff - snow cliff - fresh windswept snow - layered rock cliff - grass dried (mostly mud actually) - uncut grass thank you for watching my videos!

[@MaximPerry]

@@fetiska Thanks! I seem to be stuck at 2:35 - My material looks identical to yours (top green, bottom grey stone), but what I end up seeing on my terrain is a uniform blend of the two (basically green stone). I've been trying to play with parameters, been rewatching over and over to see if I missed something... Any thoughts? Could my problem be with my terrain rather than the material? The only thing that I have different is that in my version of Unreal (5.2) the Absolute World Position has 3 outputs: XYZ, XY, Z. I instinctively used XYZ to put in Mask (R G). Cheers!

[@fetiska]

[@Martin-vn7gs]

Great work man. I managed to make the terrain generate in a circle and to remove chunks that are far from the player. I love the terrain but the mountains I am getting using the "Noise" node are not realistic enough. I wanted to try blending some seamless textures with the real world heightmaps but I couldn't find a way to "read" a value of a texture's pixel with blueprints. Is there any way to do this?

[@fetiska]

Getting pixel color isn’t possible in both blueprints and ue c++ unfortunately, as far as I know. Probably it’s possible with some external c++ libraries. You can also try creating different noise parameters with different height curve for every parameter and using all of them together for a single landscape. That’s how I achieved results shown in the videos. Thank you for watching and for the feedback!

[@Martin-vn7gs]

​ @fetiska Thank you for the answer. I tried with render targets and it kind of allows to read a value of a pixel but it was terrible in terms of performance. Can't wait for the next video!

can you use procedural generation on top of this? like if im using electric dreams pack, would it generate forest on top of this?

[@fetiska]

yes, you can the tutorial is in our discord community: discord.gg/zyYcJMFkXe

[@BenUK1]

Is the terrain truly infinite? I wrote my own engine a few years ago that used multiple octaves of Perlin noise to to create an “infinite” terrain very similar to this, except that for practical purposes it’s not infinite because you rapidly start to hit issues around the resolution of floating point numbers. This means that you start to see artefact's once you go over a certain size and the minimum distance between two increments increases. I’ve heard that you can get around this by “origin shifting” but I’ve never seen anything that actually shows how to do this. Any ideas?

[@fetiska]

this terrain has the same problem, but "far lands" begins at super large distance. I showed that in my community post (link below). Even minecraft devs haven't solved this, they just limited map size to 32 million blocks, as far as i know. Also by origin shifting do you mean something shown in the video below? my post about distance artefacts: kzbin.infoUgkxJ6pCVjUd5SnfqfB9F_xX1r-J6iJoC8t2 video about origin shifting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJTWeoCimtlqfNksi=Po118WqFHYmnezF_

[@themax2go]

I think it's not a matter of whether it looks realistic, but realistic enough for a certain purpose... and IMO that's where most game companies go totally wrong, spending so much time on eye candy (which this essentially is, but yours is amazing!) and little to no actual gameplay - they're in general all the same (well, starfield / SF is not a space game / sim, but "an RPG on planets with space travel between planets"), at least at the core they only "sell" the illusion of freedom - ED, NMS, SC, ...

great help man thanks for the vid i am having a couple issues tho 1: how do i delete chunks behind me so i dont have chunks loaded i dont need and 2: when using multiplayer the client will render the chunks but will fall through them once past the render of server

[@fetiska]

firstly, thank you for watching! 1: you need to make it so when player moves to a new chunk the system hides chunks that are too far. To detect when player moves to a new chunk you can add box collision to a chunk class and use event “on end overlap” in current chunk. This will also allow to remove event tick for better performance. Then you just need to remove chunks that are outside of render distance 2: sorry, i'm not good at multiplayer

[@harriwarrior5136]

is there a way to make the procedural terrain to be considered part of the landscape?

no unfortunately, as far as i know thanks for watching!

What do you mean by gap?

[@SinLeao]

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. There is a line between the two chunks. Just like the terrain shown at the end of the tutorial.@@fetiska

[@fetiska]

@@SinLeao don't apologize, it's okay. "create collision" won't help to address this problem because it's connected with lightning, more precisely with normals and tangents. to solve this you need to implement custom way for calculating normals and tangents. i tried to do that, it's pretty hard, but it's definitely possible. actually i wanted to show how to do that in this part, but i would take much time so i decided to do that in the next part
