Errant Worlds Getting Started Pt2

In this video we will go over some UE5 UI and add our landscape plane. Then we will add the landscape material. Finally we will add a landscape brush to see the results. You can try Errant Landscape and Biomes right now for free at www.errantphot... Select paper plane in the drop down if you would like to support this channel.
Thank you for watching.

Wow. Great step by step. This is so easy to follow and helpful.

[@joshismyhandle]

Great stuff! Thanks for making these and I look forward to the series, I am not an artist but a programmer and to be able to rapidly prototype and design levels is what I’m primarily looking for. If I can just move straight into production levels from there with this then I’m sold! I own World Creator too, and while it is rather powerful, the fact that you can’t work in unreal engine with it is a bit of a pain. Much more fiddling around. Whereas this appears to take advantage of unreal’s tooling while also adding quite convenient and useful functionality such as the auto landscape material, biomes, pathing, and dynamic stamping. The price is right, too!

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you so much Josh! Errant Worlds is very powerful tool. The time savings is the best part.

[@joshismyhandle]

Been playing around with the trial and with your guidance and I haven’t been more impressed with a landscaping toolset. This is next level and a guaranteed purchase from me. Audible “wow”s have been escaping my mouth while working. ErrantWorlds have done a fantastic job, and your tuts are a fulfilling compliment to the process. Stamping is just amazing and really well done.

Good so far, and thank you for making these tutorials, but if you're open to some constructive criticism? My errant worlds trial has started, but your videos take a while to come out, meaning if I were to wait for them my trial would quickly run out before I've completed the project (and decided if I want to drop that much cash on EW). Using paid for assets isn't ideal, as your audience probably won't have them, which could easily lead to discrepancies. Your resolution is wider than standard, making it slightly harder to see what's going on. Some praise to help balance out the criticism: The pacing feels good, at least as someone who's familiar with UE at a beginner level. The level of detail is good, I've found all my questions answered as they come up. The occasional extracurricular tips (such as changing the folder colour and keyboard shortcuts) are always a winner when working with a program as complex as UE.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you so much for that. Yes I do ultra wide so I try to remember to scale the text. Sorry for the delay. Side tracked with Paper Planes atm. I will have a few videos coming out all at once by Wednesday. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Thank you!

[@longleaf0]

@@officialpaperplanesgame That's great that more videos are coming out soon, look forward to them!

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

So if for example I was to select sand because I make islands it would automagicly set the ocean level as the terrain is raised?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Little More involved then that but you can use masks to set the hight for a specific hight. I will play with that a little more after the weekend and get back to you.

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

@@officialpaperplanesgame Sorry you lost me a tad there "you can use makes to set the hight for a specific hight. " Is there a typo ot am I jus ole and thick lol

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

@@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz masks lol

[@dvogiatzis]

Can you use the plug-in with real world terrain height maps?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

If you can convert to 8 or 16 bit png, you can use it. You can use any png hight maps. You are nor stuck with the brush catalog that comes with errant. You can also use the erosion and foliage maps made with gaea as landscape material weight masks.

[@dvogiatzis]

@@officialpaperplanesgame Thanks for answering. I was wondering then what's the benefit to use the errant plug-ins instead of the native unreal plug-ins?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

@@dvogiatzis the upcoming video will show the power of using errant landscape. Just the shear volume of brushes you can use and mix together to make somthing very realistic in itself is a huge win, withought killing your performance. Then the ability to directly add the weight maps for all your materials per brush is 2nd to none. On top of that biomes directly use the landscape weights and mask to finish off the scene for foliage. Not to mention paths that can interact with the foliage and the landscape brush to add in roads, paths, bridges and a number of other assets that work with the landscape to deform and mask out foliage. With upcoming runtime usability that is voxel like.

[@dvogiatzis]

@@officialpaperplanesgame Understood! I'm following you videos for sometime now and you got interesting topics. I can't wait for part 3. Thank you for sharing!

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

@@dvogiatzis thanks for watching, means a lot to me :)

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

Has this series died?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Not yet. Finishing edits right now. Will be up today at 6:30 PM EST!

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

@@officialpaperplanesgame Thanks so much, hope your doing well BTW and things are improving for you

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

I asked only because the list shows one unavailable video is hidden

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

@@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz That is a paper planes test video. I am uploading the Next video in the series right now :)

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

@@officialpaperplanesgame Your a GEM to be sure, thank you for ALL your effort Sir

[@cvcwebsolutions1336]

I am so excited about this series, are you still going to bring in the hyper stuff as this I am really curious about? @officialpaperplanesgame

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I have not planed that atm. But I would love to do a series just going through all the Hyper stuff. As it is a huge undertaking. There's so much to go through with Hyper.... Lol. I may go through that after we get the landscape set up. I will have a chat with the devs at Hyper here shortly as they are on my games discord. Also, will see if I can get some in depth explanations to some systems I'm not familiar with, to give a better presentation as well.
