Pro Tips: Creating Terrain For Unreal 4 Part 3

[@yemount6155]

Hey there, I love these tutorials. A lot of useful tips, straight to the point, and most importantly, they work!!! I tried creating my mini sandbox landscape following your technique and it worked like a charm. Thanks for posting these!

[@realshyfox5374]

Now I understand why the landscape it's so hard to achieve. You must tickle it a lot until you have a nice well blended terrain. A lot of work but satisfying. I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you

[@ArvindSwainOfficialChannel]

Awesome tutorial, now i can follow a proper pipeline for landscape

[@michaelybecker]

Incredibly helpful throughout. Thank you!

[@coasterfan23]

hey man, i love your videos, i am currently going to school for video game dev. with a focus on environment modeling and i have to say! your videos help me out a lot man! i find them super helpful and you really know your stuff. keep up the good work man

[@Futurepoly]

+kyle miller Thanks Kyle, good luck in school!

[@vmr_1997]

Not enough likes on your videos! Thanks for taking the time to teach us!

[@cringeguy6468]

You're amazing... thanks for all these great lessons!

[@anquisesss]

whoa man, these 3 tutorials are awesome! Muchas Gracias!

[@andrewdorobantu4676]

how i can add grass (meshes ) to the landscape material

[@chillzdagod]

What happened at 15:49? How did you get that node?

[@filipmajewski5475]

Great tutorial and great results :D Keep it up

[@decorix]

Great stuff and interesting workflow. Are you planning part 4? with fine tuning the distancefield of the textures. Like it alot. Nice stuff.

[@husseinmassarra2769]

Helpfull tutorial..thank you❤... Please.how o can add foliage or grass to the grass material??

[@RaZeXzZz]

I was wondering if you knew a good way to create a road/location/rail/etc map of a landscape in unreal. I want to have parts of a map of the level that the player is able to find if they want to be able to "discover" all the locations of that area and then able to travel to them. Thanks, and you have great videos. I have learned a lot.

[@xinrra]

Awesome, incredible tutorial. I will be happy if the terrain I am using in my project looks haf as good as yours. Tanks for your effort. O and if you run out of tutorials ideas a lighting tutorial for foliage over huge terrains will be amazing. :D

[@LEGIT134]

I just stumbled on this video but I love the close up, mid, and far away textures:). You couldn’t do that with just a regular texture. I am going to research some of your videos and learn more about that:). That will really bump up my Unreal Engine 4 Game:). Thanks

[@terraint3697]

Wow. These videos have taught me a lot! Thanks! Do you have any tips on proceduraly layering foliage over certain textures. This is seen in the video "GDC 2015: Creating the Open World Kite Real-Time Demo".

[@gamingduo3311]

nice tutorials bro . keep the good work

[@damjancvetanovski6665]

Great tutorials!

[@canarikal]

When i added third layer whole material gone. Any help would be great. Thanks for this amazing tutorial.

[@Mr_Dee]

Good Stuff! Thanks for putting these awesome tutorials together. Keep 'm coming :p

[@MrFanzypantz]

Btw, if you press save, it both saves and builds the material.

[@marcorubioartista3d365]

Hi, i need to ask you about the "Dynamic texture size". I mean little when you're close and bigger when it's far. Please. Nice videos really helpful keep it on.

[@CheeseOfMasters]

Dude you helped me a lot with this tutorial

[@MZONE3D]

Great vid mate!

[@lumbabumbaschumba4975]

What I did not get is the size of the map out of WM. I want to have have a 10kmx10km map. Imported in UE4 it is not 10km x 10km ? Someone knows why and how I can get my wished sized in UE4 back? And yeah, thank your very much for your detailed tutorial.

[@D3cyTH3r]

Hi FP, if you wanted to build a water based MMOA which included procedurally generated terrain, which engine would you use?

[@jolanpiep]

Awesome stuff as always! After I finish High School, what is your recommendation for studying to become environment artist or level designer? Im thinking about moving to UK or US for studies. Do you think there are studies available in Seatle for that thing? Because I would love to do the Futurepoly classes there!

[@Futurepoly]

+jolanpiep Well, either our online or in studio class would be your best bet for Environment Art. If you're more interested in becoming a designer I would recommend trying to get an entry level job as a qa tester and work your way up. If you also have interest in programming I would really look into scripting with C# in Unity. They have a really great community and it's easy to find answers.

[@jolanpiep]

Futurepoly Thank you for you answer! I know a tiny bit of programming but it is not my interest although I would be willing to learn it. I think your courses will be perfect, see you in 3 years (when I finish highschool and turn 18)!

[@NicoAICP]

Thank you for this tutorial, but i have a problem. When i build the game the textures turn all yellow is but in the editor they wont. How do i fix this

[@ChrisBreite]

+Futurepoly Everything is reproduceable but the last step isnt working anymore , or im to dumb, i tried it 2 hours now and i cant seen to been able to add a second Map, I cant add the Snow map, help plzz

[@sventovitwhite8755]

When transferring from the World Mahine to Unreal 4, the cut tops of the mountains are obtained. What is possible with this?

[@QuantariousBitsoniTalvanen]

How do you raise the terrain after you've placed/imported it?

[@v124entkl9]

when I try to add the third matereal it is just giving me an error about the resoult. Dose an other way of adding new matereals exist?

[@JPJGH]

When I build my lighting I get extremely dark shadows in some areas? like black shadows?

[@v124entkl9]

you need to create a sky light

[@elvis3333]

Hey Futurepoly! Thanks for this nice tutorial. I got a problem. My "Near" or "Close" Rock/Mountain Normal is visible from Far Away. So that the Player can see the tiling from the Close Normal from a far distance. Im using the same setup as you, but my Blend is not like yours :( How can i say Unreal that the Normal had to show up when the camera is very close to the terrain.

[@mrmensje1]

+El Vis I got this same problem!

[@benedikthulsmann7448]

I realy like your tutorials. I hope that you will make more UE4 tutorials and excuse my english I am from germany.

[@AsciiKing]

I missed the part where you created the roughness map.

[@jieflowers]

Its a constant. You can see it in the details panel on the left.

[@benhardwiesner6963]

Jie Flowers not for the rocks.....

[@DerpyBuddies]

are there any big drawbacks to adding more than 3 materials or just a pain in the ass?

[@alfaatom9998]

What program you use ? :-

[@alexisl4348]

You are a beast.

[@erdemarslan2470]

brilliant !!

[@MrFanzypantz]

Will you publish the textures?

[@v124entkl9]

Andreas Tollånes if you don't need very high resolution textures, you could take a screenshot from the video

[@Mr_i_o]

Damn!

[@monstrousgaara]

More CryEngine Please :P I dont want Unreal tuts ;)

[@Futurepoly]

+monstrousgaara Ha, don't worry I still love me some CryEngine.

[@charliewilliams3828]

I'm not paying 74 pounds just for high-res maps.

[@lynic-0091]

Good luck if you plan on doing everything for free on your own, you srsly think it's that easy?

[@STDrepository]

Its a good tutorial but the major problem is your resulting terrain is way out of scale with the size of your guy. You have this valley between mountains where you set up your guys starting point. And he ran across it in seconds. A valley between mountains like that in real life would be miles across.

[@grigorescustelian6012]

Not realistic
