UE5 How To - Landscape Physical Material Output

[@domax1]

Excellent short tutorial.

[@roguepithlit]

THANK YOU! You saved me a ton of time.

[@BR1.618]

A million thanks, you saved me a lot of time!

[@KAVINDU1OSHAN]

Thank you 🤍

simple efficace! cheers!

Have you worked with Ultra dynamic Sky & Weather? I'm trying to se the physical material to the snow that gets put on the landscape so I can do the walking, running effects but failing to find where to plug the landscape physical material output

[@devcorpseinteractive7490]

Not 100 on what your asking but use the PM output node and create a landscape layer sample and name it the same thing as it is in the landscape layer blend and connect them if you are trying to get the effects out of uds from accumulated water puddles from rain or snow you want the third person bp and add DLWE to the character mesh and connect it to the left and right foot bone and zero out the location of the dlwe after connecting it to the foot bones of the third person character

great job!

[@creeksideinteractive]

Great tutorial. However I'm having some issues with it. I got all the sounds and particles working, but I cant seem to get them to play on the correct materials. I'll be walking on grass but getting sounds and particles as if I were walking on water. I am using the auto material from CG Dealers if that helps.

where did you get the Physical materials ( ie PM dirt, PM grass etc ) to put into the Physical Material?

[@UnLuckyLust]

The physics I used in the video are from the asset Footstep sound component, there is a link to the asset video in the description, also you can find it in the unreal engine asset store

So if i want to remove foliage from different part i have to create a new mask that do that

[@hunteradams2768]

Are you on 5.3, cuz I am and with the AutoLandscape set up perfectly, but it just does not work. I set it all up correctly and missed no steps. Playing with it I can get different layers to sometimes react, but I just see so much DefaultPhysicalMaterial from the output. Without the water switch enabled, I see some grass and dirt as well but not all in the right spots

[@hunteradams2768]

turns out it gets really weird when you dont use snow (and I have sand as well flipped from snow) and it will read the snow and show default instead of the correct phys material, so check that if you have default layer issues

Galvanised square still!

The blueprint code is missing...

[@UnLuckyLust]

In this video you can understand how the node works, all you need for it is a Material blueprint, and a landscape

[@butter_fly_games]

No, you can´t, because the blueprint code is still missing... I´m working now since 7 years with UE4 and never had problems getting the surface type out of the landscape. In UE4 it was working always the same, line trace, hit output, phys mat, get surface type and it was exactly where it was painted... In UE5 I can paint whatever I want, it´s always wrong, sometimes it´s sand where sand should be, sometimes it´s sand where grass should be ^^

[@djinghiskhan9199]

@@butter_fly_games Did you set your physical surface types in the project settings?

[@butter_fly_games]

Yes I did, but I have fixed it now, the problem was, I have used a "SphereTrace" on my wheels for checking if they are on the ground and I have used them also for checking the surface type... But you can´t use the SphereTrace to get the surface type (maybe a bug?), it´s only working with a "LineTrace" ^^
