How to create an auto material for landscape - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

[@Ilpreghe88]

FANTASTIC, can you continue this series? maybe whit the trick for the tile size and to add water?

[@NoWhereSharp]

Thank you! I'll Try

Adding water isn't too hard, you simply have to enable the plugin called water, water extras and go to the add icon (this looks like a box with a plus icon) then go to classes and type water and drag and drop a certain kind of water like water body ocean into your scene and at first it might seem like the water has ruined your landscape. There's a quick solution to this, simply go to the outliner select the water class and head over to the details panel and untick a checkbox called "Affects Landscape". And voilà you got water in your scene, there's more to customizing water though, so I would recommend Virtus Learning Hubs water system tutorial for that.

I have just started learning too, but most videos on youtube are kinda weird. They don't guide on adding and creating textures. Your tutorial is very handy and i can follow it easily in real time. Thanks.

EXCELLENT! , Shame tho everybody does landscape Materials that are NOT great for islands, I have a number of landscape materials BUT I have to hand paint seabed's and beach's I can not just adjust the seabed beach height and get the sand just at the sea level. I wonder if that snow fuction could be reperposed to do the seabed/beach layers

I followed step by step this video in combination with the gaea tutorial, everything ok but I have problems with the tiling. I have watched the gamedev academy video to fix this problem but I can't solve it. Could you give me some guidance?

[@craigmakarowski6060]

How can I detect what kind of landscape texture is there if I'm using an auto-material? It's only discovering my auto material in my inspector and not the individual textures.

[@NoWhereSharp]

By using an auto-material like this you basically can not detect the texture with the layers, thats why I will create a video showing how you can create texture maps on GAEA and then import in Unreal so you can take advantage of the landscape layers system and endeed detect the textures!

[@Phraxas52]

@@NoWhereSharp So basically you're saying I need a mask for each material layer and then I can use that to generate my PCGs on? Hmm.. I'm just wondering now how I would do that with a procedurally generated landscape as well. Gaea is amazing and all, but I'm looking to generate the landscape in runtime.
