[@Zulushi]

Amazing dude, thank you!

[@azielarts]

Absolutely, you are welcome 👍

Awesome tutorial! Really helpful seeing how to use decals in a more comprehensive way than some of the other tutorials I've found. I did find that the music's a little loud. Still fully intelligible, just would be a bit easier to focus on what you're saying. Thanks again!

Appreciate your content sir! Thanks for the video tutorial, I know it's already been a year but I have troubles finding the Opacity maps in quixel bridge or anywhere else. Didn't have an experience to build it by myself and don't have a APS, so pls would you mind helping me out?

[@hunkerdown2344]

Helpful! Thank you.

[@alexdem291]

Find your channel and it's absolutely amazing! 🤩

[@azielarts]

Yay! So glad to hear that!!

How do I do this for the entire landscape?

[@azielarts]

For an entire landscape, I would recommend doing the same thing but in your landscape material with no alpha (since it is not a decal) that will spread it over everything

Hey, thank you for the awesome tutorial! at 2:34, What are the normal map and roughest map and where can I find them?

[@jephrennaicker4584]

Hey Use the web version of Quixel and change your download settings everything is there

@@jephrennaicker4584 you are my savior!!!! thanks!!!

[@jephrennaicker4584]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge here on KZbin. It's really precious material and I love your sandstorm effects. Am trying to create something similar in my next portfolio project ^_^

[@guidoparacolli4112]

man thank u thats so good =)

[@azielarts]

Awesome! No problem 🤙

[@isaiahheath2395]

Great video! Is there a way to have it not overlap with other assets when in game? When I have my player walk around the materiel goes over him. @azielarts

[@azielarts]

Hey thanks! Yep there is a checkbox on each asset called effected by decal, or something along those lines. Also when you build your project I believe the decals are baked in

[@andre267]

Is there a way to do this in UEFN? I didn't find a way in the Material Node Section to blend the Sand and the Waves together.

[@azielarts]

Ooh that I have no idea. I have not used the fortnight version yet

[@AntonioMaciaMartinez]

good video mate!

[@kevinhoward9930]

Good stuff, thank you 👍

[@UnrealAnderson]

When my character walks over the decal he also gets the effect, how do I avoid that? :)

[@ChaituPinku]

How add displacement for decals

[@reformd6662]

Hey! Can you link the alpha mask for me please?

[@azielarts]

You can grab it from megascans through my unreal engine for free. Just look under the decal classification

[@reformd6662]

@@azielarts Thanks!

[@reformd6662]

@@azielarts I have one more question. How can I change the albedo color of the decal to match the color of the sand? I used a yellowish sand and changed the color with albedo, but i can seem to find it.

[@azielarts]

@@reformd6662 oops sorry didn't see this before. You will need to make a color by holding 3 and clicking, and then l multiply that color over the existing color or texture of the decal. Then right click convert to parameter to modify the color in a material instance later.

[@NicholasSinard]

Never used Quixel Bridge before

[@itscoldcoldwinter]

fam i heard that with fortnite creative 2.0 we can open assets and see hoe they made stuff that they use in fortnite

[@azielarts]

Wow that is awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

[@sphereboy]

Thanks dude. Just my opinion, but the background music could be less.

[@azielarts]

Absolutely! haha I think you might be right about that. Thanks for the feedback👍
