I love that you clearly and plainly explain the nodes and what they do. I've been watching tutorials for months and this is the first time I've clearly understood what a Lerp node is and how it works. You're not just saying... "add one of these, and then one of these and plug this into that..." You're actually teaching the logic. So, thank you!!!!

Ok so I need some dense geometry for vertex painting. What if I need to paint some dirt on a brick wall that has low density? What technique can I use for that?
@PeytonVarney2 ай бұрын
If you setup a nice threshold for your blend, it doesn't have to be extremely dense. This example I used more than I probably needed to but added the density for more control. When it comes to a wall where I would want to put dirt on a brick wall. I would still recommend vertex painting as well. As long as you just have a couple of supporting verts through the wall itself, the blend mask and contrast is going to carry a lot of the heavy lifting with even very little density on a wall.

Hi, let's say if I follow this method? How am I going to add my displacement map to give the mesh height if we are using two different materials textures. This can be done easily in UE4 with tess but in unreal 5?

Still trying to figure out the best way of accomplishing that. UE4 made it much easier but yea with the new displacement methods in the modeling toolkit, it can be a little bit more complicated
@sundramn29622 жыл бұрын
@@PeytonVarney true. The only method I could think of is remeshing the model to high poly then displace using modeling tool in UE5 which seems to be a longer way but even then. The displacement doesn't turns out as good as UE4.

Could we get this working with tesellation/displacement
@denizorbey40792 жыл бұрын
Awesome :). One thing I was wondering though is could you vertex paint on decimated meshes, or nanite (?), where the verts might not be equally or evenly placed?
@PeytonVarney2 жыл бұрын
Overall your decimated model should relatively have evenly placed verts. if you have extreme instances where its messy with areas with large faces and then other parts where its a bunch of tiny faces then you could use something like the UE5 decimation tool to retopo it to be even triangles. That would guarantee you having even verts to paint on. You can definitely paint on a decimated mesh, it just really depends on how the decimation had distributed the tris!

Yes, this is one way you could do tire tracks. You might not have a ton of control with them though. I might suggest using this to get the dirt placed where you want the road or path and then maybe using decals with normals to get the actual track shapes and all in there!

what if U have to blend more than 3 textures?
@PeytonVarney Жыл бұрын
i generally try to avoid that in general just because of the overall shader cost that you would get from it. if you use the different channels then you are technically having 4 textures by default. If needed more than that its probably possible to actually split them up instead of having them all in one shader

I suppose you could use one of the other textures like the base colour and use a channel from that to use for the alpha channel, it wouldn't be perfect height data but it could give you some detail to work with.. i.e. if it was a red brick texture, the red channel from the bricks would be a good channel to use for height data.

Love this but it is impossible for a new user to have any clue what nodes you are placing if you do not name them correcly. You called a constant3vector a basic color, and that made zero sense to me.
