UDK Lanscape Foliage

Stormie

Is it possible to add foliage to UDK landscapes by using a weight map layer?

Butthair

Could you explain how and why you would be using a weight map layer?

SirCalalot

Presumably he would want the foliage to only attach itself to, say a soil or grass layer and avoid a rock layer.

... Maybe.

kind of... Here's what you can do. When creating Foliage you can link your brush to a specific layer. So if it's a layer that you already have a weight map for, say a grassland, you can constrain the foliage to that layers weight map. The catch to this is that you are only constrained at the time you are painting in the foliage. So if you decide to change the landscape up later on for some reason, the foliage will not automatically follow the changes made to the weight map.
