Love you man! Thanks for such interesting video.

Fantastic Thiago! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@aprats2]

Very nice Thiago! I love your job!

[@manuelfuentes9382]

Another great tut Thiago!

[@paola_chaparro]

Once again you share with us very valuable information. Immediately added to my list of tutorials!🎨

[@Sandra-hc4vo]

Very cool! I definitely need to learn more about how to texture better.

[@biano3d]

awesome tips !!! Valeu Thiago 🤘

Great!!!

So as far as i understand, i put a base texture on the model (Pretty much a grained wall and wall plaster on the bottom part). Instead of adding the details and wear directly into the texture we use decals to make it look random and weathered? Is this the most performance optimized way?

Any idea whats the solution for lack of vertex paint in ue5 since nanite introduction? For texturing big architecture objects like building you've showed its now super hard, especially when mostly you have modular kits in this case.

Funny, I was just looking into this question again this week. So far there's no official solution from Epic. Seems like it should be quite a straight forward feature to add, but maybe it's not. Here are workarounds I found for this limitation: - You can still have vertex colors but just not per instance. So maybe you can use Unreal's vertex color baking tool to bake cavity to R, AO to G etc... and use that to drive procedural masks with world space grunges and what not so each modular piece has different grimes. - This is super hacky, but you can duplicate the mesh and apply vertex paint on that copy. The reference to the original mesh still exists, so if you hit reimport you can iterate. But obviously this is not feasible if there are a lot of variations. Could work on a hallway or something. - You can use Dbuffer decals to blend materials. I haven't used this technique yet and I don't what are the performance complications, but seems like an interesting one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXm0pYlqf6imnLc Maybe if more people post about it on Epic forums they will prioritize it? :)

@@TKEnvironments for my understanding old good vpaint is no longer usable beacuse data held with amount of vertex per nanite mesh would be super huge, but yeah not adding anything new for that is super weird imo. This Dbuffer decals looks very intresting! Thanks!

Hi Thiago, Can i follow along Environment mastery course with UE 5?

[@TKEnvironments]

Yeah no problem, it's the same engine with very minor differences. There's a video that explains the differences. Cheers!
