Pro Tips: Creating Terrain For Unreal 4 Part 2

[@ivain8704]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it may be 2 years old but unlike several others it actually works for me while still being useable by Unreal Engine beginners, so I can now start making serious landscapes.

[@terrablader]

This is by far the best tutorial on this topic found yet, and watched a ton Linda,Pluralsight,Udemy,Vimeo,KZbin.. The whole splatmap thing is really confusing this seems to be a better way, makes more sense to control the layers each one at a time by thier OWN heightmap. This is a simular workflow to blend materials in max. Also like the material function you showed since can use others materials in landscape. That question seems to come up allot in the forums. Am I correct about these two points? Also where can I donate. This tutorial series deserves contribution!

[@zeOrb]

Extremely happy to finally see you in Unreal Engine 4! :)

[@3dmaxers]

You switched to UE4 ! ;) waiting for part 3, hope there you explain how to make good looking blends with tiles

[@stevepeters5958]

Great tutorials. I don't know if this is a recent change in UE4, but at 10:36 you can now import the slope map as a raw file and save the photoshop step.

[@keola570]

Good tutorials, my friend.

[@jolanpiep]

From about 6 min the audio and video seem to be out of sync.

[@LazyGamerYoutuber]

thx for this tutorial .From now on tutorials will be on unreal? Cryengine is not getting that much of attention right now sadly,so unreal looks a great alternative I guess

[@Futurepoly]

+Lazy Gamer I'll be covering both engines still.

[@LazyGamerYoutuber]

+Futurepoly good idea, cryengine is too good to be changed

[@jolanpiep]

+Lazy Gamer I prefer Unreal Engine 4 myself but its Futurepoly's choice of course.

[@EuclidStreams]

Btw, when creating your height map, and splat, it is better to set the size at the values set here docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Landscape/TechnicalGuide/

[@declanhillman7543]

if you want to extend the heightmap outwards how can you keep the same flow on consistency with the current mountains on the border of the existing heightmap

[@v124entkl9]

Can you do a Tutorial for more than 2 materials?

[@makkon06]

Are the other parts of this series available? If so, how can I access them?

[@Futurepoly]

+Makkon I'll be releasing part 3 next Monday.

[@makkon06]

+Futurepoly I look forward to it!

[@MrFanzypantz]

You can just drag the material function into the material graph btw

[@Futurepoly]

+Andreas Tollånes (FanzyPantz) Thanks for the tip Andreas!

[@MrFanzypantz]

Futurepoly You can drag and drop most things, like I saw you type in the boxes for textures and materials, you can simply drag into them. Dunno if you knew that or not, that simply depends on the workflow I guess.

[@RockkyVD]

Thank you!

[@terraint3697]

This method no longer works in 4.12 Are you able to do an updated video? Would very much appreciate. Thanks!

[@alexanderpeoplefox7117]

how come it no longer works?

[@alexanderpeoplefox7117]

and yes I agree, do another video future poly~!

[@MrSniffleChihuahua]

For me the LandscapeMaster gives an X3004 Error. Texture just doesn't show up

[@AsciiKing]

I get the X3004 error as well

[@JasonHorton1]

Part 3 still coming?

[@gyakoboandy1802]

Hello.When ever I'm trying to import the slope mask into ue4 it usually ends up corrupted. Could you please tell what have I done wrong?

[@bobneeson1981]

at 12:28 how did you get the layers action menu to import from file?

[@artemytselowalnik6374]

Hello, How we can use .r12 into 3ds max, or how to use WM files into 3ds max? Thank you

[@phantompain6678]

When I assign No Weight-Blend layer info all my grass texture is changing to Sand, whats the problem?

[@v124entkl9]

When I try to import the PNG, it just says that my picture is a colour png, how can I fix this?

[@strahinjavukovic7629]

Im having same problem with X3004 Error, on 4.12, anyone solved it?

[@jarilojord713]

Any solution yet?

[@AsciiKing]

I found a post which had the same problem. They ended up switching their MatLayerBlend_Standard to a MatLayerBlend_Simple. It seems to work for me.

[@shainhoward4638]

You don't need to switch to the MatLayerBlend_Simple. It doesn't actually work the say way. But if you look at the HeightLerp you have two choices. 1) you can run off the Lerp Alpha No Contrast pin the MatLayerBlend_Standard Alpha Pin or 2) Create a Constant or ScalarParameter connect it to the contrast pin on the HeightLerp and then connect the Alpha pin to the Alpha pin on the MatLayBlend_Standard pin. Should work find from there.

[@dwimb4173]

i keep getting error x30004?

[@gyakoboandy1802]

Hello.

[@bobneeson1981]

when I create the grasslayerinfo the texture changes from the grass to the sand texture why is that?
