Unreal Engine 5.2 PCG Tutorial - Quick and Easy Farm Crops

[@sosdude45]

Dude you have some of the best tutorials for PCGs I've seen. Crystal clear and no fluff I appreciate you so much.

[@williamlacrosse9389]

Straight to the point. Well explained, clear. Easy to follow

[@unrealitybites763]

Great tutorial, Michael. You're really on a creative roll.

[@MichaelRoyalty]

Thanks! I'm looking for inspiration wherever I can find it. "Oh, is that pattern repeating? Maybe I can reproduce it in Unreal!" It's a fun challenge.

[@olarenders9202]

thanks for this man! I will definitely go through all your PCG videos! It´s such a powerful tool, but not so many good tutorials out there for now

[@veith3dclub]

i love you thank you! amazing tutor style, quick and fast... great job Michael!!!

[@davesturchcgi]

Not sure what has changed with 5.4 but it doesn't seem to work.

[@TRanslationStudio]

Thank you, this was quite enjoyable to watch as well as being educational

[@alexrybin3798]

Confirming it works in version 5.3.2! Thanks a lot! 1 Make Sure you got all scales absolute. 2 And UBOUNDED is off in Spline Samples

[@yehiamoustafa9801]

Hey, I am using 5.3.2 version and it didn't work, at the point where he add the intersection. So after added and then debugging i see nothing, do you have an idea how to solve it Thanks in advance

[@d0ha.k]

@@yehiamoustafa9801 i am having same issue. so what i did is that i added the Copy Point into the primary source of the intersection node and the spline sampler into the Source 1 of the intersection node. then activate the unbounded in the Spline Sampler

[@yehiamoustafa9801]

@@d0ha.k thanks a lot

[@ChrisRadsby]

I can't seem to get even the initial steps of this working in 5.3 . It seems that the Get Spline Data from Self when the BP has a spline + PCG component. Doesn't give the same results anymore. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if others are experiencing the same thing. ** EDIT: My bad, I forgot to Toggle the Unbounded checkbox. **

[@ukkusu]

super clear and beautiful tutorial, thank you very much!

[@UnrealNewb]

5.3 uses something called inner intersection (concrete), so the nodes are a bit different, no workie as of yet.

[@thenoobdev]

Great stuff! ❤ Keep up the good work

[@PeterLeban]

Thank you so much!

[@Kiran.KillStreak]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@d0ha.k]

I am working on 5.3 and I had issue when it reaches the intersection node. so what I did is that I added the Copy Point into the primary source of the intersection node and the spline sampler into the Source 1 of the intersection node. then activate the unbounded in the Spline Sampler node's settings

[@vijayvad07]

Thanks man... You saved me!

[@d0ha.k]

@@vijayvad07 I am happy my comment helped you.

[@xjuliussx]

much appreciation for this video! very helpfull, keep them coming! i would have one question: but if you would want a variation of the leaf's models, that would be possible ? different coloration, shapes, would be nice and more realistic.

[@MichaelRoyalty]

You can add additional static meshes that are randomly chosen from. At 4:50 where I add a mesh entry, you can add more than one and select a different mesh for each entry. If you want, you can adjust the "Weight" as well, higher weights give that mesh entry more chances to spawn.

[@UAKrogan]

Him thx for great tutorial. Question - it is possible to place PCG actor runtime? For example mark some territory and place square PCG actor like a field?

[@hengshu4484]

Farm This tutorial is very useful, I have been looking for whether there is a terrain cliff stone tutorial

[@hengshu4484]

It's always boring to set rocks on cliffs by hand

[@MichaelRoyalty]

Thanks! For decorating cliffs, you'll do the opposite of what most tutorials do. Use a normal to density filter and filter out everything flat (high density). Then you have your cliff points and can place stones on them.

[@ethanwasme4307]

Is landscape grass through the terrain material still the most optimal path if you don't mind something with less control?

[@SrishtiShukla-fc7os]

Hello, this tutorial is very helpful, thanks a ton! I had a question: is there a way to increase the size of all my plants? How so? Thanks again!

[@LetsPatrick]

Hello, thanks for the instructions. I just have one problem. I use UE version 5.3.1 and the note intersection is no longer available in this version. is there a workaround?

[@MichaelRoyalty]

You should be able to use the updated Intersection node. Your points grid will go into the Primary Source, and Spline Sampler into the Source 1.

[@LetsPatrick]

@@MichaelRoyalty but this makellos not a Output i

[@MichaelRoyalty]

Make sure your create points grid and spline sampler are unbounded

[@LetsPatrick]

@@MichaelRoyalty Thx for u Help! I'm have unbounds aktiv. But i must restart ue.... it run yet

[@segstron]

This doesn't seem to work for me either. If I have the points grid to source1 and spline sampler to primary source it shows the negative. If I have it as you state, it is just empty. @@MichaelRoyalty

[@Depin_verse]

is there a way to add how many object to add ?

[@LorikHaxhiu]

Thank you for very useful video. This works well with UE landscape. I have a case where I need to use PCG on Cesium map but I cannot figure out how to extract Cesium landscape as input to Projection target. Can someone guide me with a link where this is done? Thank you in advance!

[@itsrabar]

is there is a way to use PCG without landscape?

[@MichaelRoyalty]

I think so, but you have to make the points line up with your world differently. I think the raycast option might be your best bet -- look for tutorials about placing vines on objects for a starting point.

[@keefman85]

Ive watched a ton of your videos. super cool stuff especially the buildings. PCG is a cool tool so far. Since you are the PCG pro :) would you have any pointers on creating hex grid via PCG?

[@MichaelRoyalty]

Interesting question! There isn't a simple native way to create a hex grid, but I hope it's added as an option down the line. I have a couple ideas now, but I'll have to test them out and see if there's a straightforward, scalable way to make a hex grid. What are you thinking of using this for? I immediately thought of turn-based tactical games when I saw "hex grid".

[@keefman85]

@@MichaelRoyalty was thinking of generating a hex grid ontop of a landscape to get a bit of a Civilization style map with a bit more vertically

[@keefman85]

@@MichaelRoyalty using some of the methods you used in this video I was able to generate a bit of a grid of hex meshes but doesn"t seem to want to keep the hexes perfectly aligned. I"m gonna check the details of your RGB pixels video and maybe that has some gems of knowledge on grids :)

[@MichaelRoyalty]

I've had some luck by making a blueprint with a two-point spline, then sampling that in PCG, rotating it 60 degrees (Hexes have a 60 degree angle on each side), and copying the spline back onto itself. It generated a diamond-bounded grid of hexes.

[@keefman85]

@@MichaelRoyalty Interesting,,, may play around with this approach. Didn't think about splines due to the normal use for making curves cool idea

[@colecrissinger8797]

Do you know why my grid keeps disappearing? I believe it disappeared after I made the intersection node between between “copy points” and “spline sampler” I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix it

[@JaniceStevs]

I have the same problem :(

[@TomSwogger]

@@JaniceStevs Try changing the order in which you connect the pins. In UE5.3.2 for me the Intersection node looks different. It has a Primary Source and Source 1 pin. If you have that, try connecting the Spline Sampler node to the Primary Source pin and the Copy Points node to the Source 1 pin. That seemed to work for me.

[@hydeman75]

You can use the 'inner intersection' node instead

[@yc3X]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! >:D

[@MichaelRoyalty]

You're welcome!

[@andrewthombra7787]

This video is really helpful. I would like to add a raised mound beofre putting the plants on it. Does anyone know how to do it using PCG? It would be really helpful. Thanks in advance:)

[@MichaelRoyalty]

Are you trying to raise the landscape or use a static mesh?

[@hawkintelligence]

This tutorial is really bad. :D. No info on plugins needed. No hot key button notices for what you are pushing. Not really user friendly. :D
