Are you using PCG for this? Or sticking to the other Procedural Foliage Tool?

[@MAWIUnited]

PCG is a unuseable toy right now. epic needs to finish it before it can be used in production

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

@@MAWIUnited Startt adding VR support, and Quad Views foveated rendering. People are already testing these with the UEVR injector. But with Quad Views, you could run these on high end VR headsets. And VR people would actually pay for stuff like this.

The marching ants did it for me. Great touch!

[@JosephWraith]

This is beautiful!

[@MrOffTrail]

This is so realistic, it makes the UE default stride period for the player character seem jarring. The frequency is too high for this type of terrain. Normally, with this kind of loose litter and roots, you’d lengthen your stride, but pick up your feet more, yielding a lower frequency stride than on pavement. The footsteps here sound like a small Muppet is skittering through the rainforest. Normally it wouldn’t register, but this is so realistic, the choppy steps yield an uncanny valley effect. That is a compliment to MAWI and has been accomplished with these biomes.

[@djp1234]

Oooh. Can’t wait to try this in VR.

[@baceinyoface]

It looks like we'll be able to create in Twinmotion now, and import to Unreal with little additional efforts. This will be good for noobs like me. I want to create, but Twinmotion makes world building trivial. If Twinmotion would add custom sound objects, we don't even need to go to the full game engine. ;)
