How to use mesh paint editing tool in UE5 (Tutorial)

[@UEJacob]

It is saying 'Current Material Blending setup doesn't support more than 3 material instances.'

[@DirkTeucher]

1:39 - That was an awesome tip, I had no idea you could do that so quickly ... thanks.

[@lonewolf_studio]

Hey Dirk! No problem 😇

[@НастяАнисимова-з5я]

Perfect tutorial. Short, easy and understadable!

[@kraassou7020]

Cool! LoneWolf!🐺🐺

[@watchandproduce]

Agree. Perfect tutorial.

[@sadekdhaoui9381]

nice explaining plz continue

[@lonewolf_studio]

Thank You ☺️

I need this material for landscape. Landscape material is such a headache 😂

[@buffalosoldier-br1mi]

is there any way to use simple colors? with out using the mixer

[@-youssefmobarak]

Thanks so much for this😊…..do you know how to add displacement to each material on the same plane?

[@thanhlam_05z]

Thank you soooo much sir!!!

[@YOGESHKUMAR-ry1fz]

thats really cool but how do we displace the blend material where we paint

[@lonewolf_studio]

Sad part is that you can’t use this method with displacement :(

[@YOGESHKUMAR-ry1fz]

@@lonewolf_studio is there any solution where we can have displacement and as well as blend material too

[@peterallely5417]

@@YOGESHKUMAR-ry1fz I think the Unreal devs aren’t finished implementing displacement as a whole, in a future release (surely the final shipping version of UE5) they will have displacement working again. But until then in these preview versions of UE5 we’ll probably have to compromise and do a lot of hacky workarounds.

[@johnromine6914]

@@peterallely5417 here from the future, UE5 is released and sadly no tesselation.

[@lukeskywalker1657]

How to implement tessellation on the 3 blend material? So I have all 3 tessellation maps? Otherwise it looks very flat

[@ModernZen]

Tessellation is depreciated in UE5, in favor of nanite.

[@ResBlix]

I get this popup saying current blend setup does not support more than 3 materials even if im only using 3, 2, or 1 it says it

[@ynfra]

Me too and if I try do do it manualy it doesnt take my texture, even tho it needs "Texture"

[@CyberLightStudio]

OH MY!!!!! Thanks a lot!🤩

[@wolfiedgr8t]

Wow, excellent thanks 👍

You’re welcome 😇

[@pedrorivera1892]

GREAT!

[@giulianos.1117]

Fantastic tutorial thank you!

[@lonewolf_studio]

Thank You!

[@wolfenix4576]

Does the tutorial apply for road mesh used on spline system, or do we have to convert spline to static mesh?

[@aureliena3984]

hi, i don't understand why but it keeps giving me a default material as secondary material ( like a white pavement or something )

[@buster5661]

would you recommend this method for leaves and pine needles?

[@古道兮峰]

nice!

[@lonewolf_studio]

Thank You!

[@coapa_760]

does it only work on planes? i wonder if you can paint on landscapes or quixel megascans

[@LEVRONE_MARYLAND_MUSCLEMACHINE]

thanks!

[@lonewolf_studio]

No problem!

[@flaptez5201]

how do we apply this to a landscape?

[@mikev2066]

Thank you for your video! I am searching something similarly, but cant find..... I use the Car configurator project from UE Marketplace, it has an AUDI model and scene. And I want to paint on its side. What I want to do is one color, but the car is striped with lines, and between every line - the reflection properties are diffrent. Somewhere its more glossy, somewhere its more metallic...Can you please give an advice how to do it? Thank you! :)

[@sauravbhagat4150]

Mine just isnt working, this is a simple step process and I have used it earlier but it is just not workig for me rn.

[@markhunter5594]

I noticed when you convert to nanite you loose the blended material it reverts back to plain wall and when you go to paint again it doesn't work can we get an updated version for nanite painting? 😁as Nanite seems to be the future

[@lonewolf_studio]

It doesn’t work with Nanite! That is why I didn’t convert it in this video😕

[@markhunter5594]

@@lonewolf_studio ok so what about do one on baking textures after making them in poly so you can just drop it on after converting to nanite?

[@dreamz2134]

@@markhunter5594 to do something like that you'll want to be painting your mesh in a different software like Mixer or Substance

[@lenstobrush7266]

Does this not work as well with lower sub divisions because that’s a massive amount of geometry we could be adding to our scenes. What’s the shader complexity look like after you have blended a few layers together. Also how well does this method work with RVT? Sorry to ask loads of questions but as an artist these are the constraints we have to face.

[@lonewolf_studio]

Of course it works but you have to remember that less geometry means less quality. And for the RVT it is hood with nanites and all to blend together.

[@Lagdroid]

worked great at first but then it randomly stopped doing anything for no reason?

[@faxin-studio]

i dont know megascan has this blend function

[@GaradrielS]

This does not work for me at all. When trying to paint, on any channel, nothing happens. The Blend Material is set correctly, with 3 MIs. The mesh I am trying to paint is a simple cube. The texture from one channel appeared but I cannot, for the love of God, paint the other 2. I am lost here.

[@lonewolf_studio]

Did you swap the vertex painting? As I did in the video.

[@GaradrielS]

@@lonewolf_studio yep

[@realyoyoweb]

But... this isn't working with custom materials right ?

[@lonewolf_studio]

If you’re using Early Access it works fine. But the new Unreal Engine 5 versions don’t work sadly along with displacements.

[@realyoyoweb]

@@lonewolf_studio I made my own blended material combining 3 textures and their normal maps with lerps ! Then I paint the corresponding vertex color channel. It work like a charm

[@lonewolf_studio]

@@realyoyoweb yes that is a different way for sure

[@graphics40]

It doesnt work for me ue5. 1

[@lukeskywalker1657]

How to implement tessellation to this?

[@lonewolf_studio]

Check this link for Tessellation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHrCn6OwocuiecU But remember that you can’t do both!

[@TheArtrobi]

are you painting on top of a nanite mesh?

[@lonewolf_studio]

No Nanite here!

[@ModernZen]

Nanite doesn't seem to support vertex painting - the whole thing with nanite is that it removes vertexes based on distance, so having the color data sitting on that would cause flickering (which makes me sad, but there are other ways to accomplish the task with nanite, just gotta look for them and target your searches at nanite-based options).

[@ianay]

This doesnt work for me in 5.0,5.2 or 5.3.

[@lonewolf_studio]

This tutorial was early access ue5. Sadly doesn’t work anymore. Check my updated tutorials

in 5.4 I can't do this :(

Does anyone have the same issue - where the green brush doesn't show up - when I drag it just moves the camera - I'm currently using unreal engine 5.0.1 latest version - I have tried to reset settings to default and show all layers in the viewport - still nothing

[@lonewolf_studio]

Hello Martin! The problems you are facing are because of the new version. I am sad to tell you that the new version has so many problems. I already made a new video talking about this issue.

[@HaydenHancock0]

I had this issue when attempting to use this method on a landscape. Created a mesh instead and the green brush showed up. However, it doesn't seem to be painting between the different materials (5.1.0-23058290+++UE5+Release-5.1).

[@alexcristofani]

I don't know why, but mine doesn't work well, and I follow the steps correctly and tried more than 3 times, But thanks anyway.

[@lonewolf_studio]

Hello Alex! Which version of Unreal are you using? 5.01?

[@alexcristofani]

@@lonewolf_studio Yes, the most recently.

[@lonewolf_studio]

@@alexcristofani That is why! Sadly the new version has lots of bugs and this is one of them. This method only works on UE5 Early Access. It is really sad that the newest version has more bugs.

@@alexcristofani Thank You Alex! You are most welcome :)

[@theslayer9164]

Great Video however i feel like Painting like this is UNREAL ENGINE 5 is a big set back, I think they need to create and easier and faster way. Maybe have some painting logic where you can just select any material to paint with out going through the extra steps.

[@lonewolf_studio]

That is a good idea! But that doesn’t stop here. There is a lot they need to fix…

[@theslayer9164]

@@lonewolf_studio Yea for an engine that can handle light and millions of objects at once.... its funny you cant just paint a material

how do you apply this to landscapes

[@lonewolf_studio]

This method doesn’t work for landscape. Surely I will check it out.

[@joshlee7935]

You have to use landscape material nodes and the paint option for landscapes
