[@vanirudh3783]

the logic about blend material attributes is that the material which has to be tiled first- the one that goes underneath- is placed on top and the second material- the one on top- is plugged in second.

Thanks for the tutorial. Some comments/questions: 1. Since we need to have the Megascans "enable displacement" checked before we import the files, that should be mentioned at the very beginning of the video. 2. The font size on your screen is veeeerrrrrryy small. I have max resolution and a large, modern monitor, and I am squinting trying to read anything. 3. The video volume is roughly half of the average YT video/advertisement. 4. What do we do if we want to blend more than two Materials? 5. How can we paint? I added the Auto material instance to my landscape material slot and it auto added the material blend, but when I go to paint, there are no options to paint various materials for finer details.

Thanks so much for this! I am running into an issue with the displacement though, that I think has to do with the recent Quixel update. When I go into my Displacement Master Material now, it looks completely different from what you have in your video, and so I am not sure what to bring into my own functions.

[@MR3DDev]

You may need to go in the material node (the last node from the material) and make sure tesselation is checked, should be in the bar on the right, scroll down. Change from none to Planar displacement.

So everything is working correctly BUT even with the LERP breakdown at the end, I am still getting Tessellation on the grass aspect as well.. Any takers?

hey man, great tut :) quick question, i am currently using a landscape material, with a tessellation, and on an 8129 x 8129 map the framerate tanks...wondering if just applying tessellation to the rock area like you did, if it would make a big difference? i recon it would, but was wondering what you thought? and if you have used a landscape mat like this on an 8129 x 8129 map? thanks for any help you can provide :)

[@MR3DDev]

If optimization is what you are after I'd say use tesselation very sparingly. This system can help and you can have tesselation on very specific parts but 8129 is a huge map, so probably any tesselation at all will tank performance. If I was working with a map this big I'd have no tesselation at all unless you are extremely close to the ground.

[@enkienki1256]

Ok i have question regarding this tessellation/displacement when i replace in function WorldAlignedBlend and i use VertexNormals i can plug WorldDisplacement and TessellationMultiplier, and i dont need to make any break materials and blends like You show us. Question what is the difference between use Vertex Normals & Explicit Normals in function WorldAlignedBlend ?

[@MR3DDev]

From what I understand Explicity Normals mean the face of the geometry(mesh) meaning your polygons, this is why you can plug this if you are using normal maps. Vertext normal refers to the points that create those polygons, these points are the ones affected by tesselation which is why I used that slot for displacement.

You are missing World Machine. I have only used World Machine and Gaea, World Creator doesn't have a trial version (as far as I know) so I have not being able to check that out. Between World Machine and Gaea, I prefer Gaea, is cheaper and has a fast GPU workflow.

@@MR3DDev I second this. The program Dax and the team are building with Gaea honestly solves many of the issues of other erosion-based terrain DCC's, and the modern interface is just mwah.

So could you check out Terresculptor, because its free and still updated every month, and you as someone that used generators knows what it need to have, i want to jump into one and pull the trigger, but i am afraid to pick the wrong one as i am not experienced what it needs to have or not for quality of life. Because Gaea have turned comments off on their youtube channel and that seems like they dont like negative comments or have something to hide.

hmmm what if i want to make the automaterial with 4 material functions? Tried to connect 2 BlendMaterialAttributes to BreakMaterialAttributes but i can only connect one :/

[@shaezbreizh86]

just lerp the first worldalign with a second one, then plug a new material that will lerp with it and it will be the second worldaligned blend, etc
