    Great video, coming from using Unity for years and I'm having a blast seeing how much better Unreal is for environment art

    So many people never switch that, and never use Height Blend, so MANY tutorials forget about that and it drives me insane :D thanks for that video. Great job!

      Don't forget to set a Alpha Blend if using Height Blend to fix blending issues. Ref: Unreal - Layer Blend Issues Official Doc.

    Hey, thank you for your tutorial!
    I have a question: why doesn’t anyone mention in the recent comments the absence of the "Displacement" slot in the "MakeMaterialAttributes" node? From what I’ve researched, this feature seems to have been removed in the latest versions of Unreal Engine. However, your video is only three months old. Could you please specify which version of Unreal Engine you’re using? Thanks a lot, as I’m really stuck right now. :/

    Ooooh the adjustement for the height is great ! I always though the heightblend of layers not looking good was more a limitation than anything, and was tempted to use a regular MA Blend with a heightlerp to compensate for some layers. Thank you so much for sharing !

    • @azielarts
      @azielarts  3 місяці тому

      Absolutely, you are welcome. I was actually in the same boat with you for a while till I realized that the height blend just needed tweaking. So glad you found it helpful also.

    However, I wished you included how to change the scale since we all use different textures. Overall a very good tutorial

    I never come across that function as I always use the power or cheap contrast node to tailor the value between 0-1 but that is much better since you can control the value individually.

    So with six different textures would be repeating parameters, worldalignedblend, and blend attribute nodes?

  • @randomancy
    @randomancy Місяць тому

    This looks so good! Would this work that way as well if there is a Z-gradient of some kind and apply to a static mesh?
    I feel like it would look much better to me than using RVT heightmap blending!

    • @azielarts
      @azielarts  19 днів тому

      You can basically use the Auto material as one of the landscape layers, and paint the others if that makes sense

    excellent tutorial but you can done automatically with Megascan materials within the Megascan. Please give that tutorial also. But, yes, one should know the basics and your tutorial in this way hit the target.

    • @azielarts
      @azielarts  3 місяці тому +4

      Thanks so much. Yeah Megascans for sure has some options for this and also some from the marketplace. I personally like having the power over it to adjust how I want the light logic to be laid out, but totally up to you, no wrong way to do it.

    New to your channel and content, absolutely loving your breakdowns and very clear explanations (just finished watching your Elden Ring environment and it was incredible... plus I've been obsessed with that game, haha).
    Would this technique also work if I have masks exported from Gaea? I'm still very new to UE and texturing large landscapes definitely feels overwhelming. The last time I tried, pretty sure I just did weight blended because every tutorial says to do it that way, but the masks always felt harsh when transitioning from one texture to another. Being able to to do the height blend would be awesome, or somehow introducing noise to break up mask edge would be great, I just don't know how to do it, lol

    is there another way of doing this without the displacement plug in the material maker ? i believe that is only on 5.3 and above

    • @azielarts
      @azielarts  2 місяці тому

      You don't technically need the displacement input in the material to get this to work. It just needs to go into the blend node.
