Hello friends! In today's video I go over some different methods of applying a displacement map to static meshes in Unreal Engine 5.3. The 2 main methods are applying it to the static mesh itself, or applying it to the material through some console variable commands. I go through a few different scenes that have different types of applications. These scenes include architecture, detail object, and landscape. I also utilize the new nanite displacement workflow that have been introduced in 5.2 and 5.3.
I hope this one was helpful! I appreciate you for watching ✌🏽
Also, the amazing videos by ‪@renderbucket‬ and ‪@MR3DDev‬ below:

Haven’t had a chance to do any other kind of displacement than using the modeling tools, this video has made me want to crack in to Substrate!

[@ali.3d]

Thank you my friend! Can't wait for your video on substrate 😉🙏🏽

[@AlanCMcLaughlin]

kept trying to make my own materials using the ORDp's B -> displacement and everything was coming out jagged - this worked perfectly and really appreciate you for explaining it. Subbed & Liked - appreciate your time

[@ali.3d]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah displacement in Unreal is really tricky and unintuitive at the moment, but it's slowwwly getting better haha....I'm glad this could be helpful 🙏🏽

[@smilingdungeonmaster7800]

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. Perfectly presented and explained. Many thanks for sharing this.

I'm glad this helped! I really appreciate it 🙏🏽

pretty sure the reason your example at 20 minutes wasnt working was because you had center at 0 (afaik thats for maps that go between -1 and 1), and your map was a normal grayscale displacement map aka between 0-1 so the center shouldve been 0.5

[@ali.3d]

Yep you're absolutely right. Just tried 0.5 with that same map which did improve but still not really useable in a scene unfortunately...Thanks for the heads up!

[@danialsoozani]

Those tips were great! thanks for sharing them. Another method I saw a tutorial and you didn't mention is using Virtual Textures. it's a bit complicated to make it work, but when it works it's very smooth and light weight.

[@ali.3d]

Ahh yep I've heard of that method but haven't looked into it properly, will check it out! Thanks for the heads up 🙏🏽

@@ali.3d can't wait to see your experiment with it man ;)

[@raphaelstiep9815]

@@danialsoozani I‘d love to see that tutorial, i‘m currently struggling with that over here. But i can‘t seem to find it, do you still know where you had that tut?

[@danialsoozani]

@@raphaelstiep9815 sure! I'll try to find it now.

[@danjmaurer]

This is great! I am curious if you can animate the displacement values in the material? If so, this will open up a bunch of opportunities to work with.

[@ali.3d]

Thank mate! Literally the thought I had when I finished the video - gonna do some experimenting with that now 👀

thank you for the video:)
