Stylized Grass Tutorial

[@adlerkampf]

I really like the fact that you are uploading such long videos compared to other channels, it makes it so much easier to understand everything. Keep it up!

[@Dexter01992]

Amazing! I'm doing a 3D course which includes unreal engine, but I keep being frustrating that they keep on focusing on photorealism while never showing methods on how to make stylized/toon looking meshes and foliage. This helps a lot, thank you!

[@Raneaa]

Finally someone who writes down and makes a video about all the steps! As a beginner I have been struggling to find good content that doesn't skip parts just because they think I already know everything. Great work I love the style!!

[@bigyanshrestha603]

Clear & to the point. Made my first grass in unreal engine. Thanks to you. Now you are my tutorial crush of 2024.

[@Injushe]

I had a problem where I kept getting darker blades of grass appearing between the others which looked bad. I worked out that "tangent space normals" needs to be turned off for the normals to work (in the material details>material>advanced) I also had my material set to two sided which caused some darker blades, so I turned that off. You don't notice the grass being one sided to it's fine. Great tutorial. :)

Thanks!

Good tip

[@andreemontenegro-art]

9 months later, thank you

[@otohime8516]

Guys if anyone is having issues with distortions on your grass color, like small noises, it solves by making your 'wind line size' bigger, way bigger! Also, using levels to make your wind noise map with more contrast, that will solve issues too!

[@andreemontenegro-art]

For does who has a weird shadow issue, you just need to unplug the "TwoSidedSign" node from the normal map output. (UE5)

[@da_drood-digitalart]

Works like a charm with UE 5.3. Thank you so much for the clear and slow paced explanation. Wish there were more tuts like yours :)

[@Nothingreallyexists]

Just throwing this out there but I think the wind-line, while its cool, I cant seem to get it to work in UE5.3. In practice it didnt work, but I understood the concept of what you were getting at with adding a wind-line and I think adding it would definitely add some value to grass. I think the problem is something with the masking setup, or the divide before the mask... if i switch that divide to a multiply I seem to get 'some sorta result' even tho its not remotely like the windline you have. I wonder if that windline references a different texture coordinate?

[@pongjan4398]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. I don’t know if you read the comments but do you have an opinion on mesh based grass vs using alpha cards for grass in UE5 for a video game project?

[@SeanForsythTutorials]

Great tutorial Victoria, thank you for taking the time to do this, it's very much appreciated. I have a small issue in that the grass doesn't take on the colour of the landscape, even though I have the RVT setup and assigned in the grass material. It's updating too, as I can see the colour in the rvt colour swatch (I did have to use your trick of sculpting and then flattening again). My project settings have virtual textures turned on and I've restarted. Have you any ideas why the grass might not be adopting the landscape virtual texture? I'm using UE 5.0.3. Thanks again for a great tutorial, the final look is really nice. Interstingly, it works fine with megascans grass assets (it adoptys the colours once I assign the same material to it), but not with the one I created myself in Maya for some reason!

[@father924]

Did you end up resolving the issue?

[@SeanForsythTutorials]

@@father924 nope

[@father924]

@@SeanForsythTutorials If you ever plan on picking your project back up, try sculpting anywhere on the landscape, then use the flatten tool and start from where you sculpted at and flatten the rest of the landscape so everything is flat again. After that, all you need to do is click set bounds for color and height. I hope this made sense 👍

[@SeanForsythTutorials]

@@father924 Yeah, I had tried that, unfortunately, to no avail. Thanks anyway though, maybe this will help someone else's problem. Appreciate it!

[@GoldBlackWolf]

Hey, I posted a comment and then deleted it because I didn't read the other comments. However, I did solve my issue propper by increasing the contrast in my Wind Noise Texture. Essentially the Values where to similar, and too high so it was always applying a bump to the colour offsetting it from the landscape. Just make it super contrasting to see if that changes anything and then tweak it from there! Hope that helps!

My virtual texture for the grass is purple, do you happen to know why that happened? I rechecked everything and I match everything you have in the video but it still looks purple. Basically, the grass is grey with no texture but the wind blow shine is there except it is purple.

Hello Victoria Virtual textures are not created with set bounces. I also deformed the terrain in landscape mode, but no virtual textures were created. "Physical materials required" appears in the viewport finder when sculpting a landscape. Could it be because of this? Are you aware of this issue? Thank you for the good video!!

I was looking at grass tutorials and I liked your video a lot but I'm wondering how optimized these grasses are or if they are optimized enough?

[@Nothingreallyexists]

Optimization happens when you profile your projects specific needs. Its very difficult to say if this would be "optimized enough" as thats entirely subjective to your project. This grass creation process outlined here seems to be relatively inexpensive for my project, and I'm making a FPS/3rd person game. IT really all depends on how much resource you want to use, polygon, texture sizes, UE4 vs UE5, etc.

[@qrisgames]

Grass is cool but I love these trees it's have ghibli vibes

[@user-iw2zv9bp4o]

Everything works great, but there is a problem. I may have done something wrong again, but at 34:36 you change the color of the grass by changing the "wind color" value. The problem is that when I try to do the same, it's not the grass itself that changes color, but the noise mask that was created in photoshop. For example, I can make the "waves" of the wind in a different color, but I can't change the color of the grass itself.

[@akbutea_art]

Grass color is the same as landscape color. If you change the color in the landscape instance material the grass color will also changed.

[@AbachiriProduction]

thanks from the beautiful explanation, i just have one problem the grass move from the bottom and the top is not like itz inverted

[@akbutea_art]

You have 2 ways to fix this. 1) Change the gras UVs, you need to rotate it 180 degrees so bottom became top. 2) Change the mask for world position offset. You need to have black in the bottom or top depends of your UVs. The main logic is to have grass bottom on UV bottom and black part of wind mask on the bottom. To invert mask in UE use one minus node.

[@AbachiriProduction]
