https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Landscape/index.html the landscape tool in UE4 is immensely powerful and is probably the best go to tool for creating environmental terrain (small or large). One massively helpful feature of UE4's landscape tool is the ability to copy and paste sections of the landscape. So…
Hmm, I did some research on vertex painting and I think I'm getting the general idea of what it is, but so far I've only seen people use it on meshes and not terrain. Is it possible to vertex paint on Terrain or Landscape? Both? Neither? I am actually using Terrain edit for this scene because my lights were building really…
@cremuss youre right! I chose to use blender a bit out of frustration. Some things in ue really bug me: the lighting keeps changing(the brightness changes), I have to turn on srgb for the textures, a lack of customizability when it comes to landscapes. Things that, Im sure can be fixed. But they bugged me. Theres no real…
Thank you for your responses. The answers you provided helped clarify many things in my mind. Right now, I'm trying to create materials for landscapes by using texture cell bombing to randomize tiles and then combining the materials using landscape blending to paint in landscape mode. Additionally, I'm open to any advice…
Hey guys, I'm back for another update. So, I've fineshed the Landscape Master Material some time ago, and I've decided that it was best if I had the rock floor material ready before painting the actual landscape. Because of that, I took a pause on unreal and went back to Designer. Now that I have finished it, I will be…
I started experimenting with material shaders for my modular room kit. The vertex painting was working nicely now so I tried implementing displacement too. The kind of material I'm looking for at the moment is an old broken plaster over brick wall. I know displacement is expensive but I plan to reserve it only for…
Day 58 Working on the landscape. This time I'm trying to use Gaea instead of World Machine to make height and layer maps for landscape. The hardest thing in creating an open-world environment is to make everything compatible with everything else. Grass color should match landscape color to prevent any visible borders…
I am working on a landscape scene with has some foliage and some other props on it. When I'm making a bake with lightmass it takes arround 15 min (preview mode), but in production mode... after 3 hours it still wasn't finished. I'm wondering how I could speed things up... My question can you also bake like a specified area…
I know next to nothing about art, apart from I used to paint oil based lanscapes some time ago. Recently I bought an Intuous Pro to do landscapes digitally, but since I play league I thought this sounded fun. I have no artistic training, talent or skill but I'm enjoying the little I've done so far. I am finding it very…
New Issues! Figured I'd just post in here as I have some annoying issues that I don't know how to fix regarding lighting again. I'm using August's build due to the fact that my university is using august for this year. The first one is with my landscape and I know there is an issue with landscapes but I was hoping someone…
