    Hello guys welcome back to another video. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to use the PCG tools from the Electric Dreams Demo, inside of Unreal Engine 5.2
    We will be creating a complete open world map using the PCG tools, and I will show you how quickly we can create an environment using these tools. PCG is Unreal Engine 5's new procedural content generation system, that allows for entire environments to be procedural generated at runtime and can empower anyone to create a stunning realistic environment within minutes.

    Very helpful as a new Unreal user. I wish there were some more tutorials about how to build assemblies from scratch so we could learn how to efficiently build our own pieces to add to the generation, that or edit the ones already built into the demo graph (like converting the large assembly from a rock tower to a cliff edge for canyons, etc)

    • @Shadowsphere1
      @Shadowsphere1 8 місяців тому

      To add to this, what I mean is for things like where you added the embankment area in that cleared out patch in the example @ 12:30. Instead of wet and rocky embankment, what if we wanted to use a flower patch (example of a custom assembly to add to that closed loop spline) or even another copy of the forest PCG, but with only forest floor grass and brush.
      There seems to be lots of tutorials about using the PCG to populate landscape, but there is more or less 0 tutorials about building and using assemblies in PCG. It's quite annoying.

    Thank you for your hard work, i've been trying to get into games and modding and there is very limited tutorial. Learning your course is also helping me play around with modding in the ark devkit even tho it's stil in UE4. I'm really busy andi got at my own pace but my % in the course went from 20% to 6%. I'm amazed by the amount of content you bring and i'm glad that i paid for it. Just the section about the new PGC is over 4 hours, keep it up ! For the same content i'd have to pay over 100USD if not more

      correct me if im wrong but making multiple start nodes in the same script is usually impossible in programming and I belive that that isn't possible in 5.1 or 5.0 either?

      what you use insted of multiple event begin play. you do a sequence after the event begin play which lets you add more execution pins to the same event begin play

      Open both levels, merge the content from the old project to the content folder of the new project then select all your assets in the old project, copy then paste them in the new project. Main take away is; you must have the content of the old project in the content folder of the new project to copy and paste to the new project.

  • @mzprox
    @mzprox 11 місяців тому

    couple of questions: can pcg affected by vertex color, or layers from a landscape material for a somewhat manual help? Can the procedurally placed assets be manipulated afterwards? Can it place blueprints? for example trees that you can cut down in your game.

    Thanks for sharing and showing the indepth tutorial. Just a question though, is it possible that we add other megascan assets, replace or remove some assets from the procedurally generated environment? To make it more custom made pcg, using the same graph?if so how do you do it then?

    Well while this demo allows you to copy the blueprints over to other projects and create you own environments, there isn´t a way to make this with all custom assets that are not in the demo, since every asset has its own code for where it should be placed by pcg (correct me if I´m wrong pls!)
