Using Quixel Megascans Displacement Textures in Unreal Engine 5 the Easiest Way to Add a height map

[@arise3494]

You can use the ORDp texture and drag it in the Displace menu and then change the channel to Blue. No need to alt tab between unreal engine and quixel bridge to get the displacement map.

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

Yes exactly

[@Les3srcm]

I don’t have the Modelling mode? How can I activate it?

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

Go to plugins and look for modeling

[@RioNewss]

3:18 I can't found tex files in location where it saved. How you able to see ? in my folder (.uasset) files are showing

[@_dimitrisbr]

enable hidden files

[@Aerith_Strife]

Great tuto! I managed to do it making the flat surface in UE5 and then using the "_ORDp" as displacement map, and I only started using UE5 yesterday. I have a question though, how do you add the water on the terrain between 00:12 and 00:21sec?

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

It's a weather plugin

[@Aerith_Strife]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial Thanks, checking it out

[@rain-2779]

Why don’t you just create a plane in UE? Btw do you use weather system? Looks really nice

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

I use subdivision on my plane and I don't know if we can do it on ue but it works 😉

[@rain-2779]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial I see, i dont know if there is a difference, thanks for tutorial

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

I've already tests the plane from unreal but it's not supported by the modeling plugin

[@chromatiCityGame]

Same question: Why not just use the UE5 "Modeling Mode"'s "Shape" -> "Rect" and set "Width Subdivision" and "Height Subdivision" to high number, like 50 and continue from there? It works 100% I just tried without any problems. No need to use Blender for simple things :)

[@jeremygong4190]

in order to use tessellations, you actually need more vertices on a single plane. A default plane from UE4 has only 4 vertices, and tess wont do that magic easily...

[@LeonCuttem]

Does this work in 5.3?

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

I think so but there is better techniques

[@grm4180]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial wich?

[@ahmedmagid7042]

i have a problem i can't use my standalone bridge downloads in the ue5 quixel bridge plugin .......do u know how to fix it ?

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

I m sorry but I don't understand what is your problem can you explain more

[@kraitFPS]

If I click displace twice it will add more geometry and will result in better displacement ?

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

That's how it works for me but don't do it too much it will screw things

[@kanohane]

I can't see what they clicked on...i don't have a displacement file...😢

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

U have to install Bridge software on your computer

[@kanohane]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial Oh, thanks 😭

[@hasanrizvi2486]

there is no dis placement map file in downloaded material folder

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

U have to use the bridge version outside unreal

[@mzprox]

whenyou tile the texture it will not tile the displacement, rigth?

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

I don't know what you mean exactly can u explain

[@mzprox]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial First you applied the displacement map that corresponds to the texture (material) in normal scale, then you tiled the material to make it smaller, however it won't affect the displacement. Unfortunately I can't try it myself now, but maybe the uv settings where you put the displacemap can tile the displacement so the albedo and displacement can be in sync.

[@alexanderkartashov8776]

ye cool but displacement is most useful for landscapes. making deformed mesh was never a problem.

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

It's a tip for beginners my friend

[@alexanderkartashov8776]

@Reverse Gutenberg Press my point was that displacement was mostly used with landscapes and it's removal leaves no options for that case. Yet mesh assets are no problem at all for there's a lot of ways to alter them as you wish. Thus the video title looks like a clickbait to me and a waste of time. Sorry if i delivered my thoughts unclear. I'm not a native speaker.

[@BernhardRieder1]

Is it possible to use that technique on the UE5 Landscape? That would be dope!

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

For the moment I don't know if there is any free method for that but there is a paid plugin who allows that

[@SolarTara]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial Can you link the paid plugin or name it? I would be surprised as currently no displacement, height, or tessellation nodes exist for mats... which is a huge shame. How does one expect to make a stylized world without displament maps? I can't simply drag a 2million poly asset into my world and hide the ugly landscape with stylized art style. its insane that they would remove this because its such a staple feature for games not using scanned assets...

[@itscoldcoldwinter]

nice video

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

Thank you

[@hunterroudebush]

You lost me at "We open Blender"

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

Yeah that wasn't required we can use a simple unreal plane

[@hunterroudebush]

@startUnrealEngine5 I have been pushing myself and team to get creative with the UE modeling since it has become so much more powerful in recent months. Tighter workflow and works well for simpler tasks, although some things need the dedicated 3D program. Thanks for the response and great work!

[@UnsealedWings]

If only that were optimized enough for games. Too many poly's to have hundreds with dynamic lighting and complex coding with foliage and such. Way too performance heavy for lower end hardware. Pass

[@UnrealEngine5tutorial]

If you know how to make it work for games we will be glad to learn

[@HansLollo]

@@UnrealEngine5tutorial A very aggressive lod setup for the level is the best I can come up with. But that limits you on an artistic level. It's either that or you go with Nanite, which comes with it's own problems. Performance overhead on Nanite is no good for older systems either.

[@jumpieva]

that is the whole point of nanite. to do things that normally wouldn't be smart high poly wise in older engines/games.
