Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial - Procedural Content Generation Part 1: Basics of PCG

[@__g__1400]

Hyped for this series! Thanks, Ryan!

[@soadindakhor3932]

Ryan you are one of my favorite youtubers…your examples and the way you explain is SUPERP

[@holychubby8523]

I can't wait to watch more series of this!

[@johnterpack3940]

I had thought PCG was going to be an insanely complicated process. Seeing how simple it is makes me wonder why I wasted any time looking for a free environment I could use to test my work.

[@sil1c0n]

No default graphs?? hit the drop down button and its empy goto the setting icon next to search assest in the drop down. checkmark "plugin content" and "engine content" should show up

[@alvarooller7133]

worked like a charm!

[@1Viewer_]

[@xylvnking]

Great video, thanks! Everything worked perfectly.

[@farshadhardcore]

thank you for this

[@flufflepimp2090]

Please please do this tutorial again but build this graph step by step. I'm trying to follow along to properly understand and the speed that things are being glanced over without explanation as to the exacts of why and what they do is frustrating.

[@roja]

So awesome.

[@abhishekpro1]

how to animate PCG in sequencer ...if i want to capture it from different angles with a camera rig, like drone shots or a pcg army being followed by a camera as it advances

[@dugnutt]

This is really cool! Also fantastic videos, I just stumbled upon your channel and your tutorials are great and so easy to follow! I was wondering if the PCG has the ability to remove/move single assets once they are down, so you can generate a lot of terrain and then tweak the details to your liking.

[@simulacrumgames]

Can you generate anything with PCG? Like blueprints or other actors? Or is it just static mesh actors?

[@xylvnking]

Yes you can use blueprints. Just use a 'Spawn Actor' node and set the Option to 'No Merging'

[@diyargungor]

Thank you so much for your help. You are a lifesaver. I usually don't comment, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate your help @@xylvnking

[@HorusHeretic]

I know that you can sample which material layer is painted, but is there a way i could sample the texture itself? can't find any info on this

[@RoeJogan]

Im wondering..... what the limits are? Can I have a 130km x 130km map using 8km x 8km sized volumes? Or is this something that maybe is worked out in the future in 5.3 or 5.4?

[@robpenfold9500]

Hi Ryan, when I make a small incline in the terrain, the PCG does not conform to the height and simply spawns under the flat as if on a flat surface. Any idea why?

[@josephbentley6591]

This is probably a dumb question, but how did you open the pcg graph to access the nodes? The cursor goes off to the left side at 3:30 and then the map just appears.

[@yunusbozkurtaca]

he has a second monitor there and just brings the pcg graph window to his main screen

[@Bee_Mavrick]

Subbed

[@brockdish]

my pcg does not work in editor mode, only in play mode. do you know how to fix that?

[@skilat193]

I don't understand why I don't have any graph

[@BrownZFilmZ]

You need to enable the 2 PCG plugins in plugins

[@SagunManandhar]

In my case i don't see presets like simple forest. pls help

[@AntsUnrealTutorials]

Under content browser settings, enable "Show Engine Content" and "Show Plugin Content". That will populate the dropdown menu with the simple forest demo option.

[@HasimFN]

i choose the simpleforest and press generate nothing happends..

[@paulareb2074]

It happend to me too. It was just because PCGs need a Landscape to work and I guess you were putting your Simple Forest over the Floor that comes from the Basic Level, that it's just an Static Mesh. if you create a simple Landscape the PCG will work just fine. I hope it helps you!

[@storiedknowledge]

@@paulareb2074I put mine on a landscape and it didn’t work. I only see “forest” there isn’t a “simple forest” graph, though.

[@jsab4841]

@@storiedknowledge make sure the PCG volume intersects with the landscape...

[@caramanzilias]

Anyone having trouble with shadows not culling with the meshes?

[@oddysy1880]

how can i make it spawn less trees?

[@AshleyK]

This tutorial doesnt explain any of my questions. useless

[@PerlesTechArt]

Hi, even ticking the "show plugin content" and "show engine content" checkbox is still empty. does anyone have this problem?
