EDIT: If you are watching this video now, since you can't create a blend material with 3 instances, just select one only, both in the content browser and in Quixel and generate a Blend Material. Once done, open it and substitute the textures you want one by one directly inside the material instance.

Mesh painting no longer works either.

[@Highcastle_of_Geek]

Great tips, as others have noted START WITH JUST ONE MATERIAL or you will get the error "current material blending setup doesn't support more than 3 material instances". You can then make changes from the new blend material instance.

Mate, really like your tutorials. Please keep making them, subscribed.

[@lonewolf_studio]

Am really glad you did! Thank you so much!

[@adnanhussain9349]

For those whose puddle isnt visible take some dark color as your blendmaterial and sometimes if isnt visible then see it from a distance it might work.

[@alekscooltrede]

Wow great tips ,thank you !

[@bigtimmothy7795]

Cool, How to do this on landscape mesh?

[@snowyy9884]

Amazing tutorial man thanks so much

[@carlosaldape8906]

very nice tutorial ty!!

[@lonewolf_studio]

Thank you Carlos!

[@onixvideosoficial97]

Great! thanks!

[@lonewolf_studio]

You're welcome!

[@kimeproduction4326]

So cool! Thank you for this! I have a question, how can i use displacement for mash painting now?

[@IstyManame]

And how do you do it on the landscape that can't be vertex-painted? Surely not just copy paste my 7 layers to make the wet version of each one

[@he6e]

Is there anyway of displacing a blend material? This was a fantastic video, subscribed!

[@lonewolf_studio]

Not that I know off but hopefully I will find a solution for this!

[@LeandroOliveira3D]

Thank you, man! I have a question: in my case, the texture of the Blended material is in low quality. I downloaded them as highest quality. Do you know why?

[@LeandroOliveira3D]

I figured out why: textures can´t be setup as Virtual Texture.

[@24vencedores11]

Congratulations! Can we use this tricks in a character or clothes as well?

[@lonewolf_studio]

I think so but am sure there is a better way for this.

[@lenstobrush7266]

Can you have nanite enabled for other meshes in the scene just not for the ground you are using to create the puddles or does nanite need to be turned off completely. If it’s the latter that’s quite a huge sacrifice just to have puddles in your scene. Great tutorial though.

[@lonewolf_studio]

I prefer to not use nanite in this method because Unreal Engine is still Early Access. There is a lot more to fix.

[@sahyejrah8209]

thanks bro

[@elijahhertzog772]

Nice tutorial! A way to fix that bug which works for me is to drag a cube into the scene and select it first, then select the meshes you want to paint after. The bug only affects the first mesh selected!

[@lonewolf_studio]

That is correct! This is what I did and thank you for the information :)

[@silmusashi]

If you have a decal to project on a mesh that has puddle. How to make the decal under the puddle?

[@TheCynicalNihilist]

could this be used for blood? I was playing Dead Island 2 which was made in UE4 and it has some great saturation of pools of blood on surfaces like cloth that is reflective in some parts and others its more dried. Trying to find a way to emulate it.

[@yashmunankarmy4408]

Can you make rain fall tutorial... For archviz

[@lonewolf_studio]

I will be doing this in a new upcoming tutorial with free water, fog and god rays effect. 🙌

[@iiiinsomniiiiac]

Hey, unfortunately it is not painting in my project.. Is there any fix for that? Nanite is disabled.

[@GeoTravels03]

Is it possible to paint those puddle directly on the landscape? (Using 4.27 version)

[@tylerscott3192]

I keep getting the error, Current blending setup doesnt support more than 3 material instances. but I only have 3 selected ?

[@MrMintiX]

same :/

[@AmitgamerOG]

this UN 5.2 glitch bro i am also face this problem :(

[@MrMintiX]

apparently material blending is not part of UE5.2 anymore... no clue what an alternative for this could be :/@@AmitgamerOG

[@JuyongJeon]

only without Displacement right?

[@lonewolf_studio]

Yes 🙌

[@The9PointStar]

I follow the tutorial step by step but i cant see the water, why? thanks

[@pvpwm5703]

bruh doesnt work for me

[@ing_frantisek_mohykan]

Current Material Blending setup doesn't support more than 3 material instances. - how to fix this rubbish?

[@lonewolf_studio]

Unfortunately you can’t like this. You have to start using blueprints and connecting different kinds of textures. But you still can do multiple blend materials.

[@nokiaaingel]

@@lonewolf_studio Im getting this message as well even though I only have 3 materials? any idea what is happening?
