hmm ich finde den PCGPARAMDATA nicht und komme nicht weiter :(

Hello again, I would also like to know how to sink the assets into the ground surface. Thanks.

Hello, I just started working with this new PCG system. I worked through your first two videos so far. I was wondering how to adjust for cliffs, so my trees are only spawned on semi-flat surfaces. Thanks.

Amazing as always buddy!! Thanks for making this amazing system.

Truly incredible stuff. My goodness... This works like a charm.

Hmm I can't even find this in my list of plugins, anyone have any help with this?

Hi Adrien, talking about offline generated content. I have one question you may be able to answer :) My team and I use a lot of alembic files created with Houdini. To get these into Unreal, we are using the "PCG External Data Interop" Plugin. This works to a certain degree pretty nicely, but I encountered a problem with the "Alembic to PCG Exporter". I would like to understand something about the usage of this one - using the python class "unreal.PCGLoadAlembicBPData" (or blueprints) the alembic file path parameter is not exposed and is only a editor property. Is there a reason for this? And if not, is it possible to make this public as someone who is not into C++? Nonetheless, thanks for the great tools, your helpful videos and have a nice day :) EDIT: I may found a solution. The "PCGLoadAlembicBPData" class is exposing a "set_editor_property" function and in my first test, I could overwrite the alembic file path with this. Awesome :D In case it works, I am posting the solution for future reference as an answer.

I believe this is the only video on the subject, great! Straight forward and very insightful, you got a new subscriber :D

Thank you for all of this info. I have "is partitioned" in the pcg component enabled. I have a closed loop spline in the scene that pcg uses via spline sampler to get interior points and spawn meshes. When i enable is partitioned, i see in the outliner the separate PCG Partition actors that now get created under the PCGWorldActor, but each of them is identical.. when you select each one individually, it highlights in the scene the entire generated area, instead of highlighting the individual 'sections' like shown in this video. it's as if each section is the size of the entire spline area and they're placed in the same location. The names of the PCG Partition actors are all the same also.

Can you cover the "Get Texture Data" node and how to make it work with PCG partition and not blow up the RAM usage? I have the need to sample a large map (8km by 8km) and a large texture covering it (4K)

Cool! Thanks for your tutorial! I am trying to apply priority using the PCGMesh Selector Weighted Entry but I dont know how to get the mesh attribute to point. Is there any way to get the mesh in PCGMesh Selector Weighted Entry? Or I can only use dataasset to apply priority?

difference节点放在SurfaceSampler 后面就有效 放在前面就是失效的！

Why not using the "Cull Points Outside Actor Bounds" node instead of the intersection one?

If I need to process point data individually inside a loop how can I do this? I want to take a set of points and build a connected graph. I need to build an array of edges, compute point to point distance, etc. but i can't figure out how to get the individual point positions. I can't figure out how to get any data from a PCGPoint object. I tried the get transform attribute and get vector attribute nodes, tried with attribute names "Position" and "$Position". Nothing works.

Can we use the print str node inside a PCG Blueprint Element's execute function? I can't get it to work. How can we debug?

Hello! It's me again, Adrien from the future! In 5.3 and beyond, to force dependencies you need to use the gather node and its dependency only pin! You can plug the World Ray Hit into the In pin of the gather node and the output of the first static mesh spawner in the dependency.

Hi you mentioned that from ue 5.3 the dependency check for the world ray hit will be implemented. do you know how to access it ? thank you!

at min 2:25 i add the spline on my viewport and is not visible, im on 5.4

Hello there, I have a problème whit the Input node, my vision of unreal 5,4. I follow Hal the step in your tuto but when I want to develop the input node I have only the in available. somme on ave a ID?

In case problems around 04:20 with foliage not working properly: instead of one Difference to which you connect Landscape data and output to Surface Samplers, you need to create Difference nodes AFTER each Surface Sampler. Put SS to Source and Spline Sampler to Differences. Output connect instead of previous connection between Surface Sampler and whatever (Transform Points or Subgraph).

"Thankfully, I can cancel execution and immediately remove this abomination." Words to live by, in so many situations. :D

Amazing! Thank you so much for walking through this.

But which method is the most optimized for open world? Which one to choose from the 3?

Quick question Adrien, is there a video for the Biome sample you mentioned? I'm going over the documentation you provided in the description but am wondering if there is a video since I can't seem to find one, gotta get my hands on that grass material lol

This is exatcly what we needed, thank you Adrien!

Great tutorial

You are a lifesaver

I might be on the wrong path here but I've been struggling to use PCG for decorating larger rooms. It seems like its geared toward talking to landscape, specific meshes, or mathematically calculated points, but it doesn't like more general world interactions (like doing ray traces). I've been using blueprint functions with PCG to fill that gap, but it's extremely slow in comparison. Would it be possible to have a tutorial where you show us how to use PCG to do something like decorate a room with garbage, maybe some sort of wall lights, cables etc to showcase the ability to use PCG outside of landscape or single mesh solutions?

Heya thanks for this, always great to learn more about PCG - here's a question - any ideas how you can run C++ to perform processing on a node before spawning a mesh? In my game I want to be able to use the power of PCG graphs to create my levels but also NPC encampments/dungeons and it would be a lot easier if I could get available points and then decide through code what needs to go there. It's probably staring me right in the face but I can seem to locate anything in the docs 🙂

Hi Adrien, thank you so much for your awesome video. Could I ask you a question. In Unreal Engine 5.4, I can't find the type of variable (AttributeSet) like in Unreal Engine 5.3, could you let me know how to fix it?

Absolutely great vid as always even a year later! A question I had while watching this tho, is there a way to skip an index/point instead of the BP picking random points? This would be pretty neat for more repetitive control for splines etc. I tried with a Modulo node but didnt get it to work :D

I tried using three different rocks, but the seedlings didn’t work on them. I went back to using just one rock, and it worked. I think we need to set up a separate spawning node and a named reroute for each rock we want to use.

Your channel is literally my bible for PCG

This plugin is awesome and works well with impostors. Only question i have: How to setup PCG to not take up the entire CPU pipeline? If I make a mistake with the settings (oops, generated 256M points...), it always hangs up and sometimes I have to restart the editor... Is there not a setting config to limit the PCG tasks taking over the editor?

Truly grateful for you sharing your knowledge.

Mon commentaire est has been, mais Merci ! 🥖

Very Exciting!

Amazing, truly!

Great video like always! Can i use this knowledge and make a video based on it for my community! Ofc i’ll shout out your channel and put a link to follow you! Great work as always!🙌

Genius, thank you so much!

wow, thanks this demonstration. Is it a good idea to use this technic on "low platform" like Switch ? I do not know if realtime generation cost way too much for this kind of device.

This video helped me indeed a lot! Was struggling with partitioning for a while now. Much appreciated! But one question though. How do you combine runtime generation and offline generation? Taking the forest as an example. Trees should never disappear and HLODs are build. This is one graph. Then I need to create a second graph to get the runtime functionality for the undergrowth, right? But how do I get the result of the first graph, the trees, into my second graph so I can scatter foliage around trees?

Je rencontre quelques problèmes avec ce système, lorsque je coche l'option "is partitionned" elle reste décochée et quand je la force en BP la génération prends beaucoup plus longtemps (mon composant PCG est intégré dans un acteur)

🐐 🐐 🐐

Amazing but it seems complex, would be cool to just have all those as options in a basic pcg graph no?

Looks like a ton of work went into this jeeez Super impressive man

Great to have another video from you! Do you have any tips for situations where your cameras are always seeing far into the distance (i.e. aerial shots)?

Great job!! thank you!!

hi! totally new to your tuts. Was wondering if I should start watching this series from the 5.2 introduction, initial vid, or if maybe it would be more confusing to do so, and should start from here? still wanna watch all... just don't wanna get confusing info that maybe get updated later with new engines? :)

Hi my previous point does not work and i dont know why I have set it up like you have and done a union but still it does not work the only difference is that i use a box extent instead of a spline and its not unbounded could you help?
