Jungle Tools - Procedural Content Generation (PCG, Unreal 5.2 Preview)

[@FreetimeCoder]

I've started a tutorial series on PCG :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKrSpnWPgtqMhtk

[@silmusashi]

I did not know that there was a youtube channel dedicated to Unreal for the length of 9 years like yours. KZbin suggestion needs a rework I guess cause you just got a new subscriber.

[@adrien_logut]

Really awesome! Nice work :) Pretty impressed by how fast people are doing advanced things, without a proper documentation. Keep it coming

[@IamSH1VA]

Awesome 👏🏻 this is the only advance PCG example currently on KZbin. All other are just basic. Also thanks for making tutorials on PCG. 🙏🤩

[@MortalShores]

Right lol all the others are quick opportunists. This one has some serious meat to it!

[@hallu7477]

Lol so true, finally an actual practical example other than 3-4 trees. Why Epic Games doesn't have tutorials out like this boggles my mind.

[@hugoducrocq4428]

Amazing work, do you plan to realise any tutorial ?

[@FreetimeCoder]

Thanks! I'm not sure I have time for a proper tutorial, but maybe I can make a breakdown.

[@DaddyVader87]

Damn I was going to ask the same thing. These tools being used here look like the answer to making this procedural new features actually work.

[@FreetimeCoder]

​@@DaddyVader87 I actually did start a tutorial series now, see pinned comment!

[@ahmedshakib3883]

I am very curious on the fps , I think it is extremely intensive on the amount of objects that are loaded

[@Max_Stupa]

This is soo awesome! Love it!

[@drdeesnutts48]

This feature looks awesome I had been looking to make something similar to fill the gaps around a procedural dungeon system I'm working on and here Epic come and make one. Looks like it should be possible to alter the splines and use external ones for dynamic creation, maybe even using different asset sets with the same template. I'm looking forward to playing around with this feature when I get the time.

[@lucky-c8c]

How do I adjust each mesh in the pcg individually？

[@sahinerdem5496]

impressive, very good achievement.

[@oskarwallin8715]

Can you take a look at spawning on static meshes, and maybe masking density by texture?

[@FreetimeCoder]

There's actually plants spawning on the rocks, I'm working on a tutorial now! Haven't experimented with texture data, yet.

[@oskarwallin8715]

@@FreetimeCoder yeah, but i wonder how the performance would be, using Static meshes as landscape instead and spawning Alot of trees on it

[@EstocStudio]

Amazingly looking ! but does the tutorials shows how to reach this exact result or are they teach how to work with pcg in general ?

[@gu9838]

thats so cool i def gotta check this out!

[@P700-d3j]

What gpu and cpu and Candida of ram does your pc have

[@danielgrezda3339]

What rig do you have because it looked real slow. Other than that, great video! Love to see these revolutionary tools in action.

@@FreetimeCoder so my 1660 ti is gonna hate ue5...

[@rmumof]

H,This is great. Is there somewhere I can find documentation or other reference information on Procedural Content Generation nodes and other information? Or did you check each node one by one?

[@FreetimeCoder]

As far as I can tell there is no documentation. There are a few example graphs in the PCG Plugin's content folder though.

[@rmumof]

@@FreetimeCoder I see, thanks. and Thanks for making the tutorial video as well.

[@CrazyJampBoy]

Is it working on static mesh? Not landscape.

[@unrealist6967]

Hey bro, do you show somewhere how to avoid the foliage spawning over other existing meshes?

[@Karagee2]

holy f, that is amazing

[@pixelricebowl]

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any audio for this video!

[@nomad7317]

If I start a new level, can I make splines (linear or closed) to instantiate randomly? Meaning, for a jungle and a river flowing through, everytime the level loads during Play, the jungle boundaries will be different and the river direction & curve will be different. Is that possible with PCG in Unreal Engine 5.2?

[@woodsmanthepeasant]

very cool. I love this type of thing.

[@FutureAI_News]

Nice Tutorials! How you use jungle pack for Unreal 5.2?

[@unlinkedgames6595]

Waiting for tutorial! Good Stuff

[@FreetimeCoder]

Thanks you! Started a tutorial series, link is now in the pinned comment! :)

[@possiblyzslot838]

This looks insanely good for procedural generation, polish it up a little and I'd say it was all made by hand. If only No Man's Sky had generation more like this but it would prove to be difficult.

[@dwhorlow8397]

Love this! Would totally watch a tutorial

[@FreetimeCoder]

Thank you! I've started a series, link is in the pinned comment :)

[@patrickikolo]

In the FCG UE 5.3 the node project point on landscape doesn't exist anymore on ue 5.3 can you please clarify it on what could we swap it. Even the landscape section doesn't exist

[@ReaMonE187]

is there any chance for sharing node setup ?

[@FreetimeCoder]

I started a tutorial series covering all the techniques I used. See pinned comment!

[@idagny1908]

looks like a spline was used like to see how it was done. Looks awesome

[@FreetimeCoder]

Thank you! You can check out how to work with splines here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKGUoamXj9eUfa8

[@instantoftime7710]

Hellow, nice work. How you can deform landscape by spline path with PCG? Or you use node ''Apply Editor Spline'' in spline actor?

[@FreetimeCoder]

Thank you! I have not found a way to procedurally modify the landscape yet, sorry. The landscape in my video was done before putting PCG on top. However instead of landscape splines you could use the Landmass Brushes instead.

[@brockdish]

my pcg does not work in editor mode, only in play mode. do you know how to fix that?

[@Mr9ky]

You are awsome my good man !!!

[@Dogefather-c8j]

Are you using landmass to change landscape height?

[@FreetimeCoder]

For this I just sculpted a few hills. The Unreal Water rivers use landmass for deformation. The path does not deform anything, but making a custom landmass brush a path would be a good idea!

[@kevinjuanderson9166]

Full view please 🙏

[@da_visual]

How to get those generators?

[@shannenmr]

You should add some tags to this content like UE4, UE5, UnrealEngine so it gets pushed better into the algorithm

[@shannenmr]

Also near the end of each video put a card link to the next video.

[@FreetimeCoder]

Done and done! Thank you :)

[@shannenmr]

@@FreetimeCoder Yeah I search for UE stuff every day and only found it because I specifically searched for PCG and then had to keep jumping back to your main page to get the correct next video :)

[@szczurwodny524]

Where do i get this generator?

[@MrPangahas]

can you spawn them at runtime?

[@FreetimeCoder]

Epic presented PCG spawning at runtime so it is possible, but I haven't figured it out, yet.

[@adrien_logut]

Yes you can :) You can either mark the PCG Components "Generate On Load" which will generate them when the actor is loaded (and they are not yet generated). Or mark them "Generate on Demand" and call the "Generate" function on the component, in a Blueprint.

[@MrPangahas]

@@adrien_logut thanks might get 5.2 preview and try this out

[@Athire5]

I’m trying to make a jungle environment much like this! What assets are you using here? Subscribed! Can’t wait to go through the PCG tutorial you are working on!

[@Athire5]

Ah I just saw the link in the description lol. Thanks!

[@bringerd1936]

Can you make a tutorial on how you made this specific PCG?

[@FreetimeCoder]

Tutorial is out! kzbin.info/aero/PLA03OHAaHgYpo0enf8p-2oEpja3grLOKZ

[@Daniel_Crane]

how the heck do you get the spline info into the PCG graph?

[@FreetimeCoder]

I've made a video explaining how to get Spline data :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKGUoamXj9eUfa8

[@magnifico_animation]

I have subscribed just in case you do a breakdown/ tutorial on this.

[@FreetimeCoder]

Thank you! Already started making a tutorial :)

[@Jrdn357]

@@FreetimeCoder Great! Looking forward to it, these new tools are groundbreaking and will save so much time for cinematics. You can literally just drag the sliders and expand your environment infinitely, eliminating all the hard work that goes into hand-crafting a massive environment just to make the background look good.

[@wuphatlizar2541]

fabulous

[@Viilap]

My god good work ue 5 wont even open on my pc id like to try game making

[@nbnknowledgecourse6568]

no sound.

[@da_visual]

WTF how u did that

[@mostlypixels2975]

This would cost like $200 on the Unity Asset store 😅

[@blakegt.7326]

Framerate looks terrible....... this is the Problem with all UE5 version... they are designed for grat live streaming of new features, but in the practical relaity of videogames, they are useless.

[@leegarfield8959]

Frame Rate is horrible with this PCG system........... impossible to use. 👎👎👎

[@Mr_Dee]

Madness!!
