Finally a video where the result looks as good as the thumbnail! 👏Bravo for that.

[@HojDee]

Thanks :) I'm glad you liked it!

[@user-lp2zy6kc8l]

Reminder: If you are not satisfied with the quality of the "Displacement", you can change the compression of the ORDp maps to "Vector Displacement Map (RGBA8)" and then change the sampler type to "Linear Colour" in the material, but don't forget that this will increase the memory overhead.

[@HojDee]

Thank you 👌

[@LoganPinney]

Brilliant response. 👏

[@quadro_11]

THX!!!!

[@ZacDonald]

If you're using a packed 3 channel texture like ORD with the default DXT1 compression in UE, put the displacement in the green channel and use a levels adjustment on the green channel to clip out any unused info at the min/max ends of the range. Can save memory and maximize the quality. The green channel has 1 more bit of data and any unused space in the levels view can be put to better use.

[@hardath6455]

This a very cool but per instance vertex painting is still not working on nanite meshes, so it'll work on your unique plane but never on a modular set of walls. In this case vertex paint will repeat itself on every instance of the aforementioned mesh, creating repetition, which is very counterproductive because vertex painting is used to negate repetition. Once again, very cool results, but very not production ready. For similar results on ground just use the landscapes tools and landscape layer blending system (with height selected in your layers' blending modes). vertex painting is kinda useless unless you using it on a unique mesh like a hero asset or to assign specific texture sets to architecture. But still, very cool video :P cheers

[@HojDee]

Thanks for the comment :) Yeah I know. I mentioned it in the video that becaise we're doing it from the modelong mode, it affects the source mesh. But using it and playing around with it is still cool. It's not production ready for games, but for cinematics we can use it. Looks great.

[@quartermaster2809]

this is really awesome. I think its a bummer that vertex painting nanite meshes can't be done per instance, since that way so much variation would be there in a large area and less repetition. Hope it is something that gets added in future

[@HojDee]

Yeahhh. I hope so. It will unlock so many possibilities!

Great tutorial, what about wetness? Have You thought how to add it? Would be great to have it. Also to get a landscape material version.

Watch the next video. I add puddles and weathering effects :)

super awesome, can u also add extra details, like RGB mask or grunge masks to your existed one?

[@HojDee]

Weathering or grunge and puddle is added in the next video. Watch that one too

[@ABentPaperclip]

nanite is very cool, but no vertex paint per instance is a total dealbreaker imo

[@HojDee]

I mean nanite doesn't need traditional vertex. But maybe they'll add it in the future veraions. It's still great for cinematics. And the height blending can be used to create different variations with material instances

[@arthurmarlow3686]

Does this work with Runtime Virtual Textures?

[@HojDee]

I haven't tried it... Maybe I will. But it should work. There shouldn't be any problem. If you try it, tell me please.

[@arthurmarlow3686]

@@HojDee I have not been able to get it to work. I think the sampling from the RVT doesn't compensate for the visual mesh displacement. I can't find any documentation. But I'm unsure why they aren't playing nice.

[@HojDee]

@@arthurmarlow3686 That's a bummer. I'll let you know if I get it to work

[@arthurmarlow3686]

@@HojDee Thanks Dee! I believe it is possible from reading that the Unreal Sensei updated landscape uses both RVT and Displacement.

[@HojDee]

@@arthurmarlow3686 well then it should be possible 😅 I've actually added displacement on my landscape material. It had rvt before that. But haven't tried both together

you are so fast i can not learn from your video

You can lower the speed, pause the video, and use the subtitle. These will help with the learning
