just tried putting a cube grid at the bottom of the little pit and went over it with landscape it didn't work out

[@wesss9353]

Landscape visibility mask to the opaque mask i broke the scale of the landscape not sure how went with a different plan

[@wesss9353]

ok shift left click remove the landscape oversize the new dug area stairs going down cube grid a rough draft plane the top so plane if just under the top of the landscape add landscape texture to the plane to hide it add rocks and stuff to the seem to hide it better i over complicated this process this is what i came up with UNF Games could probably whip up a 5 minute streamlined tutorial

[@bellator3762]

This is just amazing! A 3-hour-long gold mine of valuable information.

[@istealpixel7371]

I love longer tutorials where more in depth. Big thanks

[@Gl-rn8fp]

I have turned this 3 hour tutorial into at least 8 hours of material! I reference it over and over, and your main website is so awesome! Exactly what an amateur game developer needs! I am so thankful for the time and energy you put into this guide. I may not understand everything in this guide yet, however the level of confidence I gained after watching it has been something I can't describe. I am sure that someone reading this will think its a payed comment, but I ASSURE you, this company is legit! I will slowly be making my way through all of your videos and I will most DEFINITLY be buying the other tutorials as I develop my skills. Thank you again so much, and please keep up the motivation to teach the community!

Another great tutorial. I love all your tutorials and would like to watch them all, but then I probably wouldn't be able to do anything. 😅 I would be interested to know what equipment the PC used here has. Which CPU and which graphics card ? For me, the assets sometimes don't look so nice. Best greets 😊

Hi! Thanks a lot! My pc specs are i7, 32GB RAM, RTX 2070 Super

[@rahmatarungbuana7942]

Thx

[@Elythia]

I really like your tutorials and I wanted to use this one as a guide for my first little snow area. However my idea included "night time", (a campfire) and maybe light snow. Are those two things possible without buying a plugin? If yes, I would really like to see them in your next environment. :) 1) Night time: moon, starts, darker clouds, maybe even the milky way.. ^^ 2) Weather effects? Rain, snow, thunder?

[@seanposkea]

Thanks. About 20% of this video is totally amazing and informative, the other 80% is watching you move rocks around. Thank goodness for the time stamps but I think it would be so much more useful if you edited out the long asset placing sections. But in any case thank you for the great bits in between.

[@unfgames]

thank you! Yeah it's hard to teach environments since they take a long time by nature. Will keep trying to do better!

If you don't mind, what is the income earnings potential for the unreal's marketplace? I really want to learn UE5, so I'm looking for incentives to make me take the plunge. Thanks for your videos (I'm subscribed)!

[@unfgames]

It depends on so many factors, it can be like $100 a month or $1000, if you got something great maybe over that. It can also be less than $100 if you don't have something with good quality so it all depends on the product

[@tomoprime217]

@UNF Games - Thank you for creating an awesome tutorial but I ran into an early problem with UE5.0.2. When using Erosion to paint my landscape the geo did not increase in detail so my cliff walls and peaks have really bad texture stretching. Is there an easy way to recalculate and fix the UVs?

[@unfgames]

By nature landscape will have texture stretching, usually it is solved by putting meshes to cover it so don't worry too much

[@tomoprime217]

@@unfgames it gets pretty bad on the vertical walls when any landscape tools subtracts at the base level. My work around is to Smooth the walls until the whole mesh wireframe pulls into smaller squares on the grid.

[@tomoprime217]

@@unfgames one last question that drives me a little crazy in landscape mode. How do you navigate forward motion with the mouse since left click now paints or sculpts? Hitting back to Shift 1 then Shift 2 back to Shift 1 gets tedious. Cheers!

You need to press 1/2/3/4 to add a constant and then left click where you want to add it. I also thought they weren't working, then I realised.

I have never encountered software so cumbersome, and inconvenient to use. Your video is handy thank you. but this software is just to much complicated. One example out of countless. When you want to increase or decrease the texture of an object you have to do so many steps (clicks) along the way that you come to the conclusion that it is simply poor design by the developers. Although the graphics and details are high quality (this is good), the software are really inconvenient to use, so it is probably still stuck in place with no visible innovations on the horizon. Do not understand why it is impossible to make comfortable sliders to use for the most necessary things. Why is it impossible to stretch an object from only one side of it? Why not make objects that magnetize each other when they meet (for example walls) just uncomfortable software to use

[@unfgames]

Game development and computer graphics are complicated subjects, compared to years before it is a huge improvement but it is what it is, it becomes easier with practice 😁
