Geometry Scripting - Pipe Tool Experiment - Unreal 5.3
I've been getting into Unreal's Dynamic Mesh library again recently. A bit late to the party maybe, but it's been fun. Originally I thought there would be way more possibilities to interop with PCG (since there is a plugin for it), but the two systems are pretty much separate at this point.

Old Walkway - Stormy Metal Creaking ASMR
zhlédnutí 285Před 4 měsíci
I recently started experimentation with recording sounds and some creaky metal spring inspired this scene. After processing the sounds I started setdressing in Unreal 5.3 with various asset packs as well as Megascans. I also tried out the volumetric fog for the first time and added some noisy foggy particles blowing in the wind. I have yet to manage a proper wind recording so the Wind sounds ar...

Traced Vine Placement - Unreal 5.2 Preview PCG Experiment
zhlédnutí 6KPřed rokem
Most of my previous graphs have been generating data from fixed input objects. This time around I'm experimenting with recognizing actual world geometry out of the graph with line traces. The graph sort of does the opposite of growing plants on top of meshes and instead only attaches vines to bottom facing normal triangles.

But the real question is... how to get a SINGLE POINT from a landscape ahahah
Still no way to control the amount of points spawned. Important thing left out. This plugin is not that useful yet.
For people who use UE 5.4 and they don't have "Landscape" output in Input Node, so you can't see points on map's surface: Add "Get Landscape Data" node -> connect to Surface Sampler (surface) -> Press 'D' on this node and you're done!
Thanks! Does this work with splines?
Amazing Yes this is tutorial with everything you need. I recommend it to everyone. Thank You
Are you using bend warp for corners?
Three assets are placed at each vertex. Is there a way to place them into one?
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any audio for this video!
How should I add my static mesh spawner in the Scattering Points PCG.? I dont know where to plug them in. I can only spawn in mesh in splace of the Big white debug cubes. not the smaller ones. Did you go over this in your other videos?
do a video on PCG for 5.3 version if possible....it will be helpful.
I have a unrelated question, how you do select and move whole spline when it was a point selected before that? thank you.
Thanks again for this great explanation in your FreeTimeCoder way!
Hi, in UE 5.4 expanding Input has nothing
Search PCG 5.4 TUTORIAL. They change this.
Is there a way to transform a PCG instance, like a rock with moss into one mesh in order to use it in the static mesh spawner? I know we can spawn assemblies as levels but those take a long time to make since we have to place each mesh individually to combine. With a PCG instance, we can just spawn meshes on other meshes using the mesh sampler node. The PCG stamp method can’t be spawned in a PCG graph either. Are you familiar with what I’m talking about?
Why is the ProjectPointsOnLandscape node not available for me? Did none of you seriously have this problem?
Worked perfectly ! There is only one problem and I want to ask if this is even possible in your opinion . (in your video, you play this not in full screen) Script works flawlessly , but if the game goes in to full screen mode, game is capped again at 60fps as its limited by the monitor 60hz refresh rate . The only way for the script to work on a game and in Full screen mode I find is to sadly, go to the nvidia panel and changed the setting of the game to not use vsync or the option use software settings in order for the gpu to read from the ue3/udk game and not be limited by the monitor refresh rate . Any idea if its possible to bypass that nvidia setting and set it in code in the udk side of things ? Somehow to force Scale Set UseVsync true/false in order for the gpu to look at the application when launched in full screen and not the monitor refresh rate or is that simply impossible ?
Why cant my spline get pass from the PCG_Spline Box ?
Love to seeing stuff like that. I have been a lot into PCG recently, especially building generation, and I have to check this because It came under my radar. Thank you for your videos
Thank you so much for this tutorial series. I used it as a PCG primer as I've never worked with this wonderful toolkit Epic made. It's so powerful, provides tons of creative freedom and the results are breathtaking.
Excellent
Maybe I am missing something, but you first inverted the filter so that smaller black boxes appeared in the middle as well, only to later remove them again with the difference node at 9:40, seems pointless, just don't invert the density filter in the first place..
Great stuff, but is there a way to just press a button and get an end result, this nerd crap is going to be obsolete in 2 years due to AI?
You're a blueprint anthropologist! 👏 Thank you! What a spectacular way to learn and feel confident enough to tinker.
Great job! any chance of a tutorial on the subject?
Nice reviewing! I got a problem . Im using grid to spawn point and copy position from landscape sample points,but the grid points copy layer attributes from source.Which become troublesome when I use landscape layer to control, because I can only effect the grid spawn point but not the grid points individually. Can we resample the surface with spawned grid points?
I like how at the turns you auto add the connector bolts Would like to see a tutorial on that. Would help with my conveyor belt stands
yes please moarrr pcg!
thats so cool i def gotta check this out!
notice that in subgraph chapter, when you using scatter graph. make sure to add an point input at the input node,otherwise scatter graph wont work in my case.
Mesh to Points don't exist on 5.3 anymore, Thanks Unreal!
When I create the pcg graph and then extend the Input menu, it shows nothing. How can I fix that ?
same problem... i'm on UE 5.4 so I guess something has changed.
My PCG input node had no "landscape" pin that I can use, can anyone help me?
Where is mesh to point?????????????
why no audio
Wow, that projection trick is amazing!
You're the best, this is such a time-saver!
please make new PCG videos ;-;
How can I make the points spawn on the mesh instead of at the world origin?
Following the previous tutorial, first create an actor with a PCG component. Then use the graph from this here tutorial in that component. In the PCB Graph, find the "Get Actor Data" node, set its Actor Filter to Parent and the Mode to Get Single Point. Drag a wire from Out and find the `Attribute Maths Op Add`- node. Take the Mesh Sampler node's out and feed it to `In A`, and the Get Actor Data Out into `In B`. On the Add node, change both Input Source 1 and Input Source 2 to $Position. This will offset each point to match the actor parents location.
@patrickikolo il y a 0 seconde In the FCG UE 5.3 the node project point on landscape doesn't exist anymore on ue 5.3 can you please clarify it on what could we swap it. Even the landscape section doesn't exist

You are a natural at this - one of the best tutorials I've watched in a while. Thank you!!
hello how you create the scale by density node because i am new to unreal engine
Thank you so much
This Saved my life man!!!
I can't find the Set Pruning in 5.3
no sound.
I was watching them right after the feature came out and i have to say there is nothing more detailed or comparable out there
Thanks for sharing! Since you can expose parameters on the PCG Graph itself, what is the advantage of embedding inside a Blueprint Actor?
Blueprint can be spawned during runtime whereas PCG volume fixed.
thx you for the update. By any chance you know a way to make PCG detect staticMesh placed manually on the landscape. so point doesn't spawn inside ?
Thanks for this! When trying to achieve a consistent falloff width also suggest setting Source and Target Shape to Center. czcams.com/video/zp1pvaZraGM/video.html
