How To Paint Landscapes in Unreal Engine 5

[@Skyztamer]

For anyone finding this using version 5.5, to get the layers to appear now as shown at around 8:16, you should see a new button on the Layers tab that says "Create Layers From Assigned Materials". It should be right next to another button that isn't present in the version used for this video that says "Create Layer." The layers should appear now. From there you still activate them as shown in the video by assigning a weight blend. I hope this helps anyone as confused as I was.

That is exactly why I came to the comments, thank you!

thx a lot

I am currently working on a landscape that I really wanted to showcase with different textures/materials. None of my professors had explained how to do this in the past 2 years, you literally explained it in 20 mins. So easy to follow and easy to understand, thank you!

[@N0LYF3]

Dude, you deserve so much credit. The highlights for me are the coordinates of the landscape into the UVs to scale the material. Absolutely brilliant. Also, painting was super easy to follow. The segways from start to finish made it easy to learn and play along. Thank you!

[@pgmtls]

This tutorial seems to be broken at 8:20. I do not see the layers. I see only Heightmap in that section. Did something change in a newer version or did I miss a detail?

[@williamclarke2617]

omg thank you so much i just spent hours watching other videos trying to figure it out and yours was so straightforward, finally got it. thanks!

[@michaelcarden1198]

I absolutely love the way you teach. There is so much to learn regarding to UE5 and for someone like me who generally use iclone and daz for all of my animattions, Unreal and your teaching has open a whole new world. Thank you very much.

[@bontemsanais5477]

Thank you so much for your tutorials with really clear, organized and understandable explanations. I watched so much tutorial on KZbin but I think yours are the best.

[@mjxyk]

Absolutely stellar video, man!

[@radamcqueen]

Thank you for the understandable and slow explanation!❤‍🔥👍

[@fractalbot]

Fantastic tutorial, very clear and concise. Really useful for a project I was working on, thanks for making this !

[@VirtusEdu]

You're very welcome!

[@Star_Jewel_Realm]

Excellent. 😄 This tutorial gave me methods and techniques missing from my game design course. 😄 Thanks.

[@Ethan31104]

This really helped me when i got stuck so thanks!

[@tsurur]

Thank you so much for this amazing series!!! My game is looking so much better with a landscape and the texturing made possible by this tutorial! THANKS!!!!

[@smerci]

Literally saved me! I can't believe you don't have over 1 Million views! Hope you get it someday! Much love!

[@dalttroxplays4991]

Thank you so much, this has really helped with improving my horror games landscape significantly!

[@sofidarkrabbit]

Thank you so much for this tutorial

[@davidclark8473]

This is amazing, I'm currently working with TrainSim World 4 beta version of their game editor and this has helped a lot with painting my scenery. Thankyou very much 👍

[@Ken-us3xf]

Are we not able to paint on multiple edit layers? When I try to paint on any Edit layer other than the original one, it paints but the material is showing very transparent.

[@willychandra8999]

thank you man, God bless you

[@rocketpoweredchimpgamesphi7798]

Great SIMPLE tutorial, exactly what I was looking for! Many Thanks!!!!! :O)

[@yes9784]

hello, I watched your water tutorial previous to this one and started poking around in unreal 5.3 however I can't seem to get the landscape to blend into the water like your example. Basically, there seems to be a radius around the spline that only allows for a "flat beach" and I can't shape the landscape into say crags or small mountains that go straight into the water. This is a little vague, but I hope someone can point me at the settings I need to look at. Thanks

[@firefist38]

I've followed everything correctly step by step, but all my layers appear black. I've created layer the info, and have done everything by the video, but they all appear black.

[@sativahomie]

Ensure there's a light source in the project. I battled this for an hour yesterday, just to realize there was zero light bouncing off the textures, keeping them black. Add light!

[@jayphoenix2709]

Thanks champ very good

[@Glowbox3D]

Great vid. The only slightly confusing part is adding the 'mask' texture to all these textures (ORD). I think you do a split RGB, I'm not sure. It gets a little hairier when adding this.

[@ronhq]

Thank you!!!

[@frodopotter1140]

Thanks

[@MateoTheDev]

What a legend.

[@VirtusEdu]

B-)

[@trevb1976]

Great! Now, how do you DELETE a Layer (or all the layers) in the Landscape - Paint mode (Grass, Gravel, Dirt, Mud, etc.)?

[@trevb1976]

Turns out I had to delete the entire LandscapeMat (material) and associated LayerInfo's to remove the Layers from the Paint mode Panel . . .

[@TheRiffyBandit]

im pretty sure i followed this correctly, the landscape goes black i put the thing in the material thing that i made in the blueprint tab but none of my layers show up in the paint section. what have i done

[@TheKingPooky]

same problem here!

[@Don_Beto_ptr]

a 3rd person course next pls. with battle system included.

[@VirtusEdu]

We are taking on suggestions, I'd definitely recommend the FPS course in the mean time!

[@therealstarMoses]

Im probably dumb for this but I'm trying to set the entire landscape as One Square of a single texture since I mapped it all out and wanna sculpt it off the map

[@SilverKatStudios]

Don't Worry, it's not a dumb idea! 🙂 The issue with doing it that way is that you need a REALLY high resolution texture so it doesn't look blurry on the map, but if it works, then I don't see any reason to change it! Good luck!

[@lucutes2936]

thx

[@prod.colewallner]

doesnt work at all. I go to my paint thing and its just a black sphere. No tecture or anything. Ive played around with all of my settings.

[@backlog2383]

I've started a new 3rd person project. Then removed everything, added new landscape and then set the material for the whole landscape. Now, when I want to paint additional types of material. There's no material in the Layer at all. Do you know what could cause this issue? I mean, I can't even add any new materials to paint with them.

[@VirtusEdu]

Make sure you have a properly set up landscape material with layer blending. Assign this material to your landscape, create layer info objects for each layer, and then paint the landscape using the Landscape Editor's Paint Mode. Double-check that the layer names match between the material and the Landscape Editor and that the landscape material has been correctly assigned to your landscape. If you need more help with this problem, our team will be able to help on 1 on 1 in our discord :)

[@dftdbs1010]

I couldn't follow this at all. You never showed how to get to the places you were in and assumed everyone already knows where all the menu crap is.

[@deathstargaming8179]

loser

[@rawbmar1166]

This was extremely easy to follow. You should learn the basics about the engine first and foremost.
