UE5.2 Procedural PCG (Showcase) Garden Walk

I wanted delve into the new PCG Procedural Volume system in UE5.2 and go a bit beyond what I was seeing online by creating exclusionary zones from cubes, the lake, and river as well as how do we create not just exclusion zones, but how do we populate them with specific assets, in this case, shoreline assets.
The environment with the exception to the gazebo, temple, lamps and bridges were created entirely procedurally with zones for both exclusion as well as zone specific populations within one volume.
5.2 is still in preview and thus is prone to bugs, i ran into quite a few for example during the course of this environment, however it was an opportunity to learn how to troubleshoot the nodes.
I'll be doing a comprehensive breakdown soon on this environment so stay tuned!
*Tutorial Coming Soon!!*

Very cool! Please do a lesson on how to create such a beautiful and realistic environment)

[@alexday721]

Super impressive! I can't wait to see the content you post in the future! :P

[@DallasDrap]

Gonna be dropping more videos soon!

[@daeuslamb8191]

Pumped for the breakdown

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

Choice, love this. Be nice if this was on an island so we learn how YOU would make a height base seabed/beach landscape material in the process

[@fresh-fish]

Looking forward to seeing a breakdown of this!

[@kemalakdemir329]

Nice work bro.I love your works :)

[@DallasDrap]

thank you! More to come!

[@Peepspaint]

Whimsical and relaxing ❤ can't wait to see more!

[@samgoldwater]

Fantastic dude, can't wait for the tutorial! :)

[@dubtube6691]

looking forward to your tutorial, you have a talent to explain well and its nice to listen to you :)

[@666nevermore]

man other than the water scaling and motion, this looks the most realistic thing i seen in UE. congratulation

[@Rjmckinnon]

Really stunning work!! Insane details!!

[@HuwBowles-x2o]

Lovely!

[@georgefromjungle5211]

Probably the only tech demo that shows the full potential of this engine. Well, of course if it's real time.

[@korneelbonte9185]

I loof forward to your tutorial and how to exclude the River from spawning trees

[@윤재혁-r5b]

hi! im a new subscriber !!

[@DallasDrap]

Great to have you here! We have some great stuff in the works :]

[@2K_FILMS]

PLease do tutorial ill be waiting love the work!!!

[@DallasDrap]

Maybe I can get your input on this! So I’ll be doing a tutorial on this, however I’m unsure if I should do like an hour long comprehensive breakdown or a multi part series, what would you prefer?

[@DUNGCAO-m2w]

@@DallasDrap please do an hour long comprehensive breakdown.thanks so much

[@GrianTalamonti]

Amazing work, love the aspect ratio. Is this path tracing? or just post work/colors on lumen? Can't wait to see the breakdowns on lighting/rendering as well as the PCG graph, thank you in advance!

[@DallasDrap]

Its just lumen, i originally tried pathtracing, and it was beautiful, but i was getting some errors and it also took like 18hrs to render lol mind you i have a 4090 XD with Lumen it took 2hrs roughly

[@GrianTalamonti]

@@DallasDrap That's awesome news, hopefully we'll get real time Path tracing in the near future :) thank you so much!

[@MortalShores]

The rendering on this is insane! Pathtracer??

[@DallasDrap]

no, it was looking beautiful with pathtracing, and i used it as a guide, however Pathtracing was taking too long to render and was giving some weird issue with the translucency of the foliage so i just rendered it with Lumen!

[@mine_raidz1514]

That offroading tech demo was probably the most hyped ive gotten off anything since the reveal of nanite. I may be overplaying this new technology as i cant tell from the demo itself how easy or how much better this system will be but just seeing the terrain adjust to changes in realtime was crazy.

[@VoD1443]

👍👍👍👍

[@vonkrieger4510]

Can you show us your workflow in making these projects?

[@DallasDrap]

Yup! Those videos are coming soon!

[@Vugen18]

this looks real

[@galinmonev]

So cool..

[@JaimeArlandisoficial]

could you show how you have created this, not only the procedural material, but also the exact landscape. There are great tutorials out there but in the end they teach you the same old stuff. It's interesting the combination of heights. Especially when you mix it with a man-made path. It would be very interesting to see everything to get references for those of us who want to get to that level of detail.

[@DallasDrap]

I agree, i kinda made this one tbh cause every tutorial i saw was just how to spawn trees on a flat plane haha so yeah that's what im working on currently!

[@Jsfilmz]

@@DallasDrap great job dude!

[@cabriocat]

how wide should the shot be? you: yes :D

[@DallasDrap]

pretty much XD lmao ya know, tbh, i was looking to emulate the bladerunner aspect ratio which is 2.39 BUT i accidentally forgot the 3 so its 2.9 hahah

[@SpicyMelonYT]

Literally so realistic looking untill you see the shadow map resolution for the bridge load in LOL

[@DallasDrap]

Yeah i know haha i had a few render issues and i just said F it XD

[@SpicyMelonYT]

@@DallasDrap Mate, I am the same way but with way more issues hahahaha. Its really nice showcase man! Crazy what game engines can do now

[@PhoenixDigitalGamer]

Tutorial please.

[@nemanjagavrilovic8812]

I want Dallas to create enviroment for my future game :D

This is procedurally generated?

[@DallasDrap]

yup yup! Im working on the breakdown video right now!

[@ReedNOFX]

@@DallasDrap holy shit that is crazy impressive technology. We really be on the bend of a technology curve again.
