This is literally the most helpful UE4 landscape texture tutorial I've seen on youtube

[@leionev]

Agree

[@GaryParkin]

Yup, agreed!

[@px64]

I really like the fact that your'e speeding up repetitive tasks. And sectioning the tutorial is very helpful. Thank you for the quality content.

[@Supremepikachu]

Way better landscape tutorial than the rest of youtube, good job keep going!

[@kalleeliasson1977]

Dude after looking at different tutorials and trying out different things for years, this is the best tutorial iv seen. Short, informative, good results and a bit funny. In short this is nothing less than perfect. Amazing work. Keep it up bruh!

[@UnrealProfessor]

New channel + good tutorials = auto subscription. Great, I'm not a beginer but still, eager to see your next tutorial.

[@polarzFN_Official]

Probably the best UE4 tutorial for landscapes. Great job!

[@Plazmeer3705]

the tutorials you make are so good and really easy to understand keep it up!

[@lordkelvin1]

Love your delivery, the length of the video is perfect for taking everything in and learned a bunch of new stuff :) Hope to see more!

[@rakysamson3921]

Unreal is really big & complicated software but these tutorials make it easy to follow. I started to get interested in it, thank you so much Sensei.

[@dunmerhavok8762]

great work US! ur helping me get me into creating. a week into it and i feel like i can complete this massive idea of a game pretty soon.

[@xdoom1111]

I started learning with UE4.27 since last July and loved it at the beginning. I lately found that everything i paint always been tiling and in line without knowing why, that just got my mind blowing over and over since... i must have been doing something wrong or my computer is just not powerful enought. I see alot of people doing video stuff and showcasing their work and now telling us how they do this and that, and was way beautiful than i could do, even with 4k or 8k texture... i know i am not skilled yet but i am not dumb still... now i know why after watching your videos. Thanks a million for sharing this. Just started watching your video now for the 2nd time and inspecting your free content at the same time to build it on my learning project. Will feedback you after its done 😁 I got lucky i found your channel by chance. It was on suggested panel and i opennied it. And also, for all this 🥰you are one of the few so far that explain at the proper speed, at the proper pitch and well spoke with correct wording, as a foreigner speaker (french canadian) it is easy to follow without rewinding a few step. 5/5⭐

[@austinshadows8418]

Found you 3 nights ago watched out of the beginners tutorial learned a bit but this felt kinda rushed but I think I should be able to fix that with the play back speed awesome work thank you

[@sebastianmosneagu2635]

The value i got in this 11 minutes will improve my projects so much. Impressive tutorial.

[@ukaszkondek807]

Haven't even watched yet, but after the last one, I am already excited! :D

[@notsure1969]

This is the tutorial I've been looking for. Thank you very much.

[@tech-bore8839]

FYI: The Macro Variation trick also works really well for non-landscape materials (i.e. concrete). Even though I just used a simple material, connecting the basic textures & Gold macro variation, it greatly improved the look of my concrete material.

[@alexandru2882]

Your tutorials are the best you can find on the internet!

[@ragingpotato817]

Sensei explains this so well. I love this channel it’s helped me so much.

[@athelstanm7298]

The landscape You showed at the beginning of the video looked amazing!!!!

[@ethanwasme4307]

there's some neat nodes called get and set material attributes, less clutter than the ones you're using... also there's blend material attribute node too :)

[@RianArighi]

This channel is the one that make me want to learn unreal. Keep up man 👍👍

[@denniss.3907]

for the first time i feel it. watching tutorials for weeks and do things exactly like them...with unsatisfactory results. since two days im watching your stuff and its a gamechanger for me! thank you so much!

[@ArchitectVirendraChhatria]

Hii Dennis.. this process shown in video is same for ue5 ?

[@GaryParkin]

When you showed the before, that's what I came away with after doing a tutorial and the Tuber teacher said "isn't this great?" I almost puked. I knew better so I went searching and after 5 or so I found this. Thank you so much! This is a game changer.

[@fish3010]

This along with auto-materials are the best things to make your landscape look better. It's the ones that have the most impact in your workflow and help you work A LOT faster.

[@gabocavallaro]

This is simply amazing, gold-content helped me a lot thank you very very much!

[@obiwankenobi7296]

Great video! Thank you for this tutorial videos UE4 Sensei!!

[@ethanwasme4307]

xy-worldposition probably more useful than landscape layer coords, as that node is used to map whole textures over the terrain like satmaps, a variant of the regular local space tex-coord node

[@irtezamasud1079]

Keep making brother. Found the only one channel with real bossness

[@nikolainikiforov3883]

Before i finish this Video, i need to tell you something, your amazing! thank you. This is incredible and all of your work, thank you!

[@raiderbots7148]

"So if you've ever been outsiiiide...." xD xD Great Tutorial, I've learnt a lot from this!

[@dreamzdziner8484]

Finally I found the secret I was looking for to make awesome landscapes. Seen a lot of tutorials but never could achieve those perfect landscape whatsoever. You are freaking awesome mate. Thank you soo much for sharing this.

[@omarleyvaofficial]

Very very good tutorial ! Thanks a lot man! Now I`m following you

[@torsten9983]

Very good and high quality Tutorial. Keep it up

[@AlFredo-sx2yy]

Unreal sensei is a real sensei... thank you for this, master.

[@HaikuTutorials]

Awesome, simple and amazing. Thank you!!

[@SonicrealFanatic]

I am very grateful to you, it helps a lot, I tried to do all this for a long time but it didn’t work very well

[@keredcake]

thanks for the tutorial, still very useful in UE5

[@esimacio]

The very best Unreal beginner Tutorials, awesome work. I Have a question , my landscape gets like silver, after adding in the nodegroups from gold material.

[@3ric908]

Very pleasant to understand every thing when you speak (no fluent) 👍🏻

[@Arkhaziel]

Amazing job! Tks for this!

[@neil.borbon]

This is easily the best texture tutorial for unreal that I've seen. Spent hours and hours looking, but finally! Have you tried using the landmass plugin by any chance? I hope you make a detailed video about it as well. Thank you!

[@UnrealSensei]

Yes I use the landmass plugin a lot along with Virtual Texturing. Will make tutorials once the beta for UE5 is released

[@neil.borbon]

@@UnrealSensei Nice! As a complete beginner myself your videos have been the most helpful to me by far and so I'm really looking forward for more 😄 Great work man. Keep it up!

[@pa.l.2499]

I used UDK but got out of it for a while. Now I am encouraged to jump back in after such a well-explained and organized tutorial from Blender to UE4. How easy will it be to jump into UE5? Any interface changes pending? Thank you!!

[@XojanazarTursinbayev]

Thank you Sensei. This video helped me!

[@Utopia2023Game2]

Yea The Greatest Tutorial about AutoMaterial After 2 Day Search ,,,, Thank U Sensei !

[@z90u6r200]

please make more tutorials, you are the best, if you have a course i would have probably buy it!

[@ekshalibur]

great channel, so glad youtube finally decided to show it to me in recommended lol

[@jlssculpturedesign8140]

Thank you for your video.i started real engine yesterday

[@nachorondan2703]

You are the man, Sensei!

[@geetee5505]

Great job, very clear

[@ruslansayfullin6194]

Thank you, it works like a charm.

[@Zartris]

Thank you for a nice informative video. :)

[@alexgruia88]

GOD, i spent so many hours trying to figure out how to make the tile effect disappear and still have sharp textures(there are other nodes like texture rotation or booming but they blur the texture)...you sir are the man. Macro Variation i already used but adding distance blend near/far and two textures using Perlin Noise made it perfect. Now the texture is sharp and i can add Tessellation. I will split this in material functions and make a bigger material to use more then 2 textures.

[@justvibe4312]

i am currently so stuck right now. my landscape is just blue... i got all my nodes and noodles set up but its still just now right.

[@TheF4c3m4n]

Very Nice Tutorial!

[@hasin3412]

Good video. I just used your video to create a unity landscape shader

[@billB101]

I would like to add some material variation to your studio :) Apart from that nice tutorial and subscribed.

[@cadetcondog6482]

Hey what starter content are you using? Awesome video!

[@dracullbo]

Oh that's one great tut! Thumbs up to u!

[@RamsesTheFourth]

Jeezzs this is gold. Ive been looking all over for this info, and then YT algorhythm just comes along and slap this in my face.

[@danyarfan5384]

Epic should add this video somewhere around the landscape tools inside the engine...its so good wtf!

[@Vondora]

Just found a really cool channel!

[@maxigorczew1855]

Thank you,you really saved me!

[@Kats9tails]

Thank you so much bro !

[@borisstengele5389]

Great channel

[@unityinfusionmedia9102]

the best tutorial I've seen slightly disappointed as it advertises a free auto material but still so informative

[@legato3067]

great tutorial! thx you

[@alaayhya2848]

Thanx for you working 100%

[@N0nManfiold99]

You're a god bro. If I get a career in the games industry as an environment artist, it's partially because of you.

[@zeroqq0038]

very useful, thx!

[@meistervoss4735]

Thank you so much-could you hook up a graph with near-medium-far distance blend :) would be very very appreciated

[@nima3359]

You are a legend!

[@yantingye1677]

thank you for your sharing,谢谢

[@ethanwasme4307]

i prefer to use 4x4 or 8x8 meter textures, can fit more detail inside them can be done easily in mixer or designer

[@romainberger]

You rock dude !

[@Ehxx]

Would be good to zoom out in future videos or have a screenshot of the whole material tree at certain points. Something in mine isn't compiling and i have no idea what. Though its ue5 so that could also be it.

[@Fez_Vrasta]

May you show how to apply these tips to a Megascan material instance? They all share the same material that makes use of some material functions to generate the output values and it's a bit tricky to get everything to work as you describe. I couldn't get the distance blend to work.

[@YouWillDoAsYouAreTold]

amazing videos !!!

[@mostafaeid2275]

hey bro you are awesome keep it up , i will share your tutorial .

[@UnrealSensei]

Thanks!

[@DFX2011]

Потрясающе!

[@Video-by6lp]

Cool !!! Thank you !

[@metushelach8]

Who is this guy ?! Your instructions are wonderful. Where's the Patreon link ?

[@VideoLife_FPV_Wild]

I'm a beginner in Unreal 5, and I'm trying to make a texture without repetition and your video was the best offered, but I can't open the nodes window, like you did at 2:37. Please advice.

[@jesseg.3371]

Thank you very much! How would you add in more than the 2 textures? There is only an A and B input on the Blend Material Attribute. With no option to add in another input. (C, D, E Etc.) Would you Lerp the Blend Material Attributes together? A noob+ here. I don't know very much about the engine yet.

[@preston7263]

Try Lerp or Multiply, or Add...or a combination of those. Another idea is to create a separate landscape layer containing 2 other textures that are blended with the Blend Material Attributes node. There's a limit of 16 samples per layer. It's also easier to track each texture when painting, rather than opening the Material Instance with half a dozen different textures and modifying all the properties for those in a humongous list.

[@runsbuns3675]

10/10 hit me at home with that first landscape xD were u looking at my monitor or something

[@POLYPHOBIA]

Thanks Uncle Sensei!

[@erickmoralvocal8586]

Dear Sensei please make a tutorial for this but applied to interiors, more specifically, megascans!

[@spectator59]

Good tutorial and channel. After implementing the material as described here, I'm still seeing tiling in the form of what looks like grid lines, closer together up close, farther away from each other in the distance. Rebuilding lighting or changing light direction doesn't help. I'm using 4K Megascans textures.

[@user-en9zl7pz8f]

The same is true for me. My solution is to change the size of the grass texture in the distance to make it blurry, but it will still be like this at some other angles.

[@DPLawlorFilms]

Im trying to make a master Landscape Material...and once I get to duplicating the textures @ 6:33 I get mixed up because each of those textures already has heaps of other parameters like Roughness or Color Hue or Tint. Not to mention that these textures are also parameters. My mind is in knots right now.

[@steveCCan]

I have a question! How do you handle stretched UVs on the z-axis in steep areas. Thanks!

[@benfala9984]

THANK YOU

[@sid5523]

Thank You

[@Whoisthisg]

What are your system specs? node navigation is really smooth there .

[@wyatthottell7398]

dude your a legend sub.

[@burningvirus7731]

lerned in this 12 mins more about landscapes then 1 week Unreal engin original tutorials... You should make a discord server, i guess many ppl would join to help each other and build a nice commiunity

[@entelecheiai4371]

Thank you
