Procedural Generation (PCG) under 5 mins in Unreal Engine 5!

[@nathanielrand]

The tutorial golden recipe: 5 min video broken up into 2.5mins for beginners and 2.5mins advanced. All short and concise. No dead air. Well done sir. You make them, ill watch...

[@badxstudio]

this is the best comment we've ever gotten. Thanks for making our day..motivated af to create more. If you want, you can join our discord and we will answer any question u might have ;) discord.gg/fUTyYnvceB

If you use UE 5.4 just replace "Input"-Node with "Get Landscape Data"-Node. Input node can be skipped in this case.

[@Soloman-wy7ww]

Man, KZbin's algorithm sure is tempting this Unity developer today

[@badxstudio]

Hahahha have you my friend tried out Lumen and Nanite and metahumans and etc?? :D :D Lol Unity is great too btw I hope we didnt tempt you too hard :D

[@ZHUNINSTREAMS]

Bro, thank you so much. You have no idea how hard it was for me on version 5.1, I'm a complete self-taught person, but I love it all. Before I quit studying the engine, I just burned out from the endless need to search for information, which is somewhere in the most remote and forgotten corner of the Internet in a single copy. Your video inspired me to come back, because procedural generation closes more than half of the problems I encountered and couldn't solve for a month or more. Only I wish I could ask you to dwell more on blueprints, it's a very important part, but in my opinion you showed that point too quickly and superficially.

[@badxstudio]

Hey buddy! Thank you so much for the love. We are so glad this inspired you to come back to it all. Just like you mentioned this video barely scratched the surface for what is possible with procedural generation! There are 100000s of more settings to play with to create complex worlds. We wanted to keep this video simple but I promise you will see more entertaining and educational content pieces on blueprints coming from us soon

[@ZHUNINSTREAMS]

@@badxstudio I'm really looking forward to it =)

[@jacklynch3333]

You are great. I am VERY new at this and wanted to make a desert landscape. I go back and forth between basic shortcuts/learning the beginning stuff AND going through what you put out there. I DO have to put you at 0.5 speed to catch a few things that apparently everyone else knows. You are great and one of my resources for learning this stuff. Thank you.

No BS video, subbed.

You talking about the guy making dope blender videos every week? cuz thats our FAVORITE CHANNEL!

[@Unknowable_Void]

Fantastic and informative clip, an easy intro into PCG. I was in the Valley of the Kings a week ago. you guys have captured the vibe already. can't wait to see more from the project :)

[@badxstudio]

That's incredible! We're enhancing the Valley of the Kings by adding more elements and introducing a MetaHuman to the scene. We've yet to visit the Valley of the Kings in person. Hopefully, once this project ends, we'll get the opportunity.

[@sssamuelllll]

Great video! Please continue making this type of dynamic tutorials!!🔥💯

[@badxstudio]

We upload everyday

[@shelfrelated]

Can't wait to see how the final product looks my g!

Can we do an easter egg of your FACE somewhere in the scene ???? :D or your name? oR MAYBE we should just setup an ACTUAL SHELF somewhere and then have a small engraving that says related on it?? :D

[@shelfrelated]

@@badxstudio I'll allow it since I've used your FACE in a lot of things.

Too good

[@badxstudio]

No you are breathtaking!!!

[@josem.sepulvedaanaya558]

Nature is not random, nor regular, it´s nature, the result of billions of years and tons of matter / energy interacting under some laws. An that´s what the AI has learnt. By the way, your work is very good.

[@badxstudio]

First of all thank you for your comment

[@joxemik]

@@badxstudio I think the question is what will be the limitations in that process. First the physical limitation in the calculation, we use certain mathematical techniques in computation, and these produce a natural limit. Second the 'natural' limitations, just like a dog can't learn math, we human have limitations, and AIs will. Time is the third limitation, how much time do you need to compute that? It is magical how human beings extract the essence of a thing or concept, to be able to specify and summarize the content in what is really important. Perhaps the biggest challenge of AI is learning just this, as a modeler knows what elements to place or not in his scenes to make them look real. And then being able to apply processing power to that, and not to superfluous things that don't add anything. The spaniard painter D. Velázquez was famous for painting in a careless manner in his mature years, he was not in the habit of giving excessive detail when painting, but when the work is viewed from a distance, these 'poorly painted' details come to life much more realistically than those of other painters, who tried to represent reality with fanatical accuracy. Something like this will end up happening with AIs, they will learn to show us what is necessary for our brain to see something 'real'. So I think we'll get to tremendous levels of realism and detail. In human terms, perhaps we can say almost perfect. (I'm answering from my real account, I don't know why I logged in from another account that I don't usually use, regards).

[@badxstudio]

​@@joxemik Wow I love the Velazquez example you told us about! So interesting to think about it that way! The fact that you mentioned AI will learn to show us what is necessary for our brain to perceive something as "Real"! That is 100% what is going to happen. Thanks for sharing that insight with us. hahaha its all good man! Your name is joe? It's nice to meet you! Make sure to join our discord channel. Would love to have a chat with u there!!

[@epicghostclub5487]

hey man, thank you so much for this! this was on point! Do you know if there's actually a way to sort of "bake" it so you could export it as fbx?

[@badxstudio]

Hey buddy! TBH we have not tried baking it but we will for sure test it out over the next few days and let you know what we come up with :)

[@foxfx3956]

Too few inserts of your own face, can you do more next time? In a five-minute video, the engine is shown for about 30 seconds, the rest is antics

[@ProfShibe]

would u rather stare at nothing?

[@forcews]

Let's hope that new upcoming Mass Effect uses these features at some extent...

[@badxstudio]

When is that goin to be released? You know thats literally one of the only video games we always wanted to try but for some reason never had the chance to :((( Maybe we should ....

how do exactly its spawning on slopes without issues ?

[@Drakmour666]

Are the features that were shown in Unreal showcase with generated forest from a one piece of hand made part is available now? Or it was just a concept?

[@badxstudio]

Their assets? hmmm they dont have the sample scenes available for download yet! Maybe they will release it soon?

[@Drakmour666]

@@badxstudio I can't tel if those were just assets or new features and instruments in the Unreal itself, but yeah, just curious If all those cool stuff are already available cuz I see it more and more on youotube explanation videos. :-) From metahuman to procedural forest, lumen and the stuff with polygons.

[@majklnajt1772]

I dunno wanna die :( , but I wanna procedural generate ....haha thanks for short tut amazing :)

[@badxstudio]

hahahaha .... glad u liked it

[@statebeyond373]

Can you do this with multiple source files like maybe a tree and the rocks at the same time?

[@badxstudio]

You can literally have 100s of different source files as long as you know how to mix them together! We wanted to simplify it for this process and only use rocks. Essentially you can have layers of trees, rocks, bushes, grass, anything!

[@statebeyond373]

@@badxstudio that’s absolutely insane, thank you so much for sharing the knowledge 💎🫡

[@HussinKhan]

What sort of hardware do you need to use the PCG?

[@badxstudio]

Considering NANITE exists with unreal engine 5 you dont really need a beast.

wait..a second..are those rocks....displaced?

[@arthemos4627]

Does it work only with landscape mode?

[@keithrobinson-b1y]

sorry cant follow the editing makes me dizzy

[@FelipeRisallah]

Hey, my meshes are not responding to the transforrm points node. do you know why?

[@onsotul713]

Hello! My meshes also did not respond to changes in scale and rotation until I put the Transform Points node after the Surface Sampler node. Maybe this will help you

[@eepycaleb]

@@onsotul713 For anyone coming back to this, putting the TP node after the Surface Sampler node doesn't work since the way UE generates PCG, it takes each point, gets the transform done, then applies the mesh to the point. I am curious to know if you really did have it work for you that way though!

[@QuestsAndChaos]

please stop yelling at me

[@GGKornis]

when you add it as the component to actor, to spawn with a grid tile (for example) this thing does nothing, it's just for placing on the level, no flexibility when it gets to procedural or random generation

[@abhishekpro1]

can pcg be used to creat a marching army

[@babyanikaofficial]

What is your PC's specifications? 🥲

[@badxstudio]

RTX4090 :)

[@badxstudio]

But as long as you have an Nvidia RTX card that is 30 series and above these should run smoothly since we are using lumen and nanite :)

Thanks for the tutorial.

Unreal engine 5 is a VIDEO GAME engine, and i hate they added in this film stuff, i hate to ask it and i shouldnt have to but does this work for GAMES? Every single video i see on unreal engine is about film and production over all good video 👍🏻 thumbs up don’t take my salty behavior to personal,
