    If you use UE 5.4 just replace "Input"-Node with "Get Landscape Data"-Node. Input node can be skipped in this case.

      Once the meshes are generated the runtime cost is the same as with other static meshes - so just play around with nanite LOD and shadow settings (I've tripled my FPS rate by changing "Shadow cache invalidation strategy" from "Auto" to "Rigid" on trees - because unreal was recalculating the shadows of each leaf every frame because of the wind)

  • @JoelFerris3D
    @JoelFerris3D 10 місяців тому

    If you're like me and used a static mesh actor as a base instead of an actual landscape actor, then you need to set your static mesh actor to a static object mobility, under the transforms, otherwise the PCG wont be able to spawn on static actors correctly.

I tried making a custom node on the Input box, but I don't know what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated.

      @@azhawking my videos are low quality, still my procedural landscape is more optimized with little effort
      Following tutorials like this I lost a lot of time thinking it should have been so easy and straight forward, but I'm not making pretty UA-cam videos.. I'm making a game with 10 more people so it should be game ready and not just a pretty tutorial.. there's way more you can do with PCG alone like working with blueprints and subgraphs.. also you have PFG and LGT too which here are not even mentioned (c'mon guys, open any unreal documentation and it's like in the first paragraph as it should be)
      I'm not saying come watch my videos, I'm just agreeing with the comment above as you clearly understand the low level of content from this video once you had your first hours working on your PCG
      Maybe try learning Unreal, it's hard but I'm liking the challenge so far, stay frisky (and post content before bullying others, this is a safe platform)

    Very nice tutorial overall, but you don't need to tap like crazy on your keyboard in your videos. That's fu**** irritating !
