How to Make Roads with Splines in Unreal Engine 5

[@GorkaGames]

↪Just opened my NEW DISCORD join NOW! bit.ly/GorkaGamesKZbinDiscordServer

[@kjoligbris]

So found a way to fix the gaps. Not sure if its the right way but it works. If you open the mesh and search 'Bounds' in the search box You want to change the X in the 'Positive Bounds Extension to -0.42 Leave the Y and Z For the 'Negative bounds Extension' change the X to -0.36 and leave the Y and Z like last time. Hope this helps

OMG! After 3 days trying to modify my spline for a job proof, you come in me with the key step just for that I needed you saved me bro! thank you so much for your content!!!

[@igorkarpliuk2492]

I dont know if its still relevant, but you really helped me with my college assignment. I pursue game design/programming and your video is amazing.

[@BananaBuildsFortnite]

broooo! this isnt just a road tutorial! its how to make custom splines! I cant thank you enough! amazing tutorial! I made hotwheels track using this method! ill post the code when the maps done! Edit* just realised this is for unreal im using uefn and it works too!

I have enabled the layer editing but right clicking on the layer doesn't bring anything up

[@JesseLeeHumphry]

Switch the the Splines section of the menu, then you can add a new layer.

the same issue UE5.1 . I figured out how to fix - you just skip creation of layer at the beginning and start to add spline after you finish go back to layers and this feature to create new one will be available

for modifying the road model, you can use mirror modifier in blender, that will be easier.

[@manollobango]

This tutorial was really helpful, but I guess it's just scratching the very basics of how to use the landscape spline tool to create e.g. roads. As you can see, the middle stripes are stretched and I would like to know how to avoid that. Do you mind to make a more in-depth series about how to use the spline tool and what's possible with it?

right clicking the layer section for me does nothing nothing pops up to create new layer how do I fix this and what do i do?

[@devkrueger]

same

[@eyerly7175]

I was able to get around this by changing the tool under the manage button from "select" to new or import or splines

[@tinman3000]

This is awesome! Works great for a road surface but I was trying to make a cobblestone path and had some tiling issues between splines. Is there any way to smooth that out? Somehow adding geometry in Blender made it worse... hahaha. I'm also getting some texture stretching. For roads though, I'll definitely be using this!

[@keterbinah3091]

very good , have liked and subed

[@KaelthasProductions]

This is really great now i just need to figure out how to put 2 splines in 1 road segment for 2 way traffic

[@GorkaGames]

Yeah, this spline tool is very powerful to create levels

[@Simul8Gaming]

Worked great! The road models however for me have a few inches in between each one, I've played with the scale but nothing seems to fix, any ideas?

[@Lewis_Reynolds]

same here found a fix yet?

[@Utopia2023Game2]

thank u nice tutorial

[@AM-qv2ed]

thx a loooooot man ❤

[@noahprince100]

Wow, can I also do that to make buildings or warehouses with splines?

[@GorkaGames]

Yeah you can use with any kind of mesh that you like. But remember that the buildings will have to be modeled in a way that they can join with themselves, which can be a bit tricky!

[@ErickNot]

hey I'm trying to do this but in mine the options are kinda gray and I can't change them how could i change it?

[@AshT8524]

Thank you

[@Sprinthurdles]

Thank you! When I adjust the individual splines, my landscape does not stay connected to the road. I have been following the tutorial step-by-step so I am not sure what the problem could be. Any idea how to fix this?

[@tanner2105]

When I import the mesh between all the roads there is a very small gap, do you maybe know how to fix this?

[@GorkaGames]

Yeah, so you can fix it by going into the segments details panel, and in the spline meshes section, increase the size on the x axis or y axis

[@daveweinstock]

@@GorkaGames There is no change when increasing the Scale on the X axis in the Spline Mesh section. The gap is still present.

[@dantepowerrr]

@@daveweinstock If you still have this problem, you can try to set the mesh's origin a bit away from the gap, or to the mesh's geometry (which can be done automatically in Blender).

[@AlloyY]

[@ziiziizii3838]

When I added the FBX file to the UE content folder the thumbnail had nothing in it and when I added it to the spline segment the spline only had an outline but no actual road.

[@Fennosims]

hello! i ran into an issue and have no idea whats going on. all the parts are going into pieces and none of them are connected?

[@Staglaitor]

Thanks - maybe I overlooked it - but are there primitives from splines - such as: circle, square, ellipse, triangle?

[@SergeyMaryshev-i5g]

geometry (triangulation) is added with this method?

[@jamesbrady1930]

I have the issue in 5.3.2 where it doesnt repeat the road static mesh.

[@chadgtr34]

can you do a bridge with the same method ? bridge crossing rivers and ocean

[@GorkaGames]

you technically can, but it will be pretty hard to make it look good and actually implement it. You would need to deactivate the auto-terrain filler when building that section and merge it with the other normal road splines. However it is achievable and maybe it's easier than what I think, so give it a go!!

[@madisonwentz1961]

I am having a problem with the right side panel "Segments" is greyed out and not interactable. I did set the layer to Spline Reserved and held Control while adding Splines

[@GorkaGames]

Hmm, If you have placed the splines correctly and reserved the landscape area, it might then be a bug. Try to re-open the level, and try again. Let me know if this is still happening

[@madisonwentz1961]

Dude! You rock, I forgot to sub last night...Subscribed now though :). Just simply uninstalling and installing the newest "Retail Release" fixed the issue. Thank you so much!!!

[@Cjoudan]

great tut, but how do i change the width of my road?

[@KellzKelechi]

When I loaded the texture in it appeared scattered all over the place. Is there a way I can adjust the texture map?

[@naytbreeze]

When I hold ctrl and click the green road doesn't appear. Not sure what I am doing wrong its just blank.

[@GorkaGames]

Did you select the spline tool? and reserve the terrain layer into online splines?

[@naytbreeze]

@@GorkaGames yes I clicked my landscape, enabled edit. Created a separate layer. Reserved that one for spline. Then clicked spline icon under manage and hold control and click then drag and nothing green showing. Let me try on another project maybe something wrong in this file not sure

[@naytbreeze]

It’s actually deforming the land but I don’t seen any icon to be able to control it or create a road/path. It’s just deforming landscape wherever I drag it.

[@GorkaGames]

Oh, hmm. So it is creating the path by deforming the terrain, but you cant add a mesh into it?

[@naytbreeze]

@@GorkaGames yea pretty much not sure how to add mesh the land just kinda deforms but I can’t see the path or click on anything to control the width. I think I’m close but maybe it’s something I’m not clicking ? Do you add like a road or path mesh first and then do splines

[@endtasid]

what about a mountain road, located on a step crawling around a high mountain?

[@MrChaoLupus]

basically what you would do is add splines closer together as you path out the road and adjust their height when there is a drop in elevation on your landscape, the splines will burrow into the ground and leave walls on either side but if you take it slow and level it down little by little it should come out well

[@AysenKocakabak]

Hello, my material applied in reverse direction. How can I modify it?

[@dark11demon11]

on a big map for me it is like add point pause 30 sec, move wait, rotate wait, move a bit wait... so annoyng... is there a way to delay what ever calculations it is doing? so I create at least one segment then update...

hi,Gorka,Do you know how to narrow down a certain section of the terrain spline road?

How do you set the physical material of a spline road?

[@Crouton_6]

My ground shoots a solid amount into the atmosphere, I can’t seem to find a way to get it to just match the spline path height.

[@Crouton_6]

To further explain; the ground is dramatically deformed and it’s height changed to way above the spline I placed down.

[@GorkaGames]

@@Crouton_6 Did you already assigned the mesh? Or just the path without the mesh?

Thank you so much for making this!! This is exactly what I needed. However, I'm having trouble with adding a mesh to my spline. I add it in the details menu under 'landscape spline meshes', and it shows up there next to mesh, but doesn't change the look of my splines. Additionally, my splines don't highlight green beforehand, as yours do. I'm mentioning it in case they're related to each other. "Enable edit layers" is also on if that changes anything. I'm using 5.1. Any help would be VERY appreciated :)

Either look in the top right, there are a couple of symbols next to each other. The one that is right next to the cursor symbol is the one you want to select. Or you could just press 'W' on the keyboard. Hope this helps

yeah now if the mesh wouldnt rotate each segment making it alternating 90 and 0 degreees every time, i tried to rotate but it just flips back, also tried rotating in blender, it just rotates the next mesh instead. The landscape system is crap, dont use it. Make a BP instead.
