@TheRoadTraveledByFew. No worries mate. yeah I tended to stay away from the ue water as it was crazy buggy. So I've typically used paid stuff till now. Or attempt to make your own shaders is the best way still I think really

This is actually something im looking into and testing generally at the moment. Sorry i dont have a clear and accurate answer right this moment. But i am testing multiple landscapes combined with HLODS etc. It will take a fair amount of preparation in working out the connection on the map edges i think. But i think it is doable. The main issue is the designing of that landscape i think, externally to UE stuff..

@mootzartdev no worries; appreciate the response all the same. Demenzun Media (fella who created Terresculptor) might be a good resource for you in terms of tiling/shared edges. He's done a recent series with TIN meshes in place of standard Landscape Actors. Looks promising, but I need non-destructive edit capabilities, at present. I've considered purchasing Errant Landscape for this purpose, but have yet to make a final decision. Looking forward to your future uploads

@kodzi3725 you can do that for sure. Though I would check out a paid tool like oceanology or fluid flux perhaps for a better look. I'm not really familiar with ue5 water stuff yet.

Fair enough. Though I honestly won't be changing anything about myself. I really can't be bothered to do crazy levels of editing and 'lesson planning'.. I just record in real-time, and it's all off the top of my head 99% of the time. I feel 99% of what i ramble avout is actually relevant stuff from a combination of experience and somtimes reactive thought. A bit like a lecture i guess. So people will either have to deal with it as a cost for free information.. or find the information else where 🤭 I don't cater to or care for tik tok brains. This is more a message for everyone reading.. not a direct attack at you also. ✌️

@mootzartdev lol about the response I imagined, didn't take it as an attack. We're just being honest ☺️

Well then you are stupid lol

@@mootzartdevnot to mention unreal has a default limit of 20km^2. Think you’re the stupid one here

It will just cause to many problems in video memory. And I'm pretty sure UE has a maximum res heightmap of 32k

Not 100% sure on what you mean sorry.

@mootzartdev how to make visible all landscape, not only the rendered radius

Its a very tricky one really. Vastly large maps sadly take vastly more degrees of planning and prep and planning. I would say major features would usually always have to be done/covered up with meshes. Generally. Or you need to be fairly swift with programming and such in order to perhaps utilise some kind of advanced tiled setup. So then perhaps you could be using tiles that are comprised of 1k res.. which is something im going to be looking at doing next.

@@mootzartdev Either way - looking good man. Hope this turns in to a series. Insightful. Thanks. Actually one other thought, you used a 4k landscape, but I wonder if there is an increasing difficulty presented when using say an 8k or a even a 16k. Thus accomodating more detail in the heightmap, but then would there be more or less memory or other negative impact scaling that to 100km

@andyseabrookUK yeah I used lower resolution to sort of show what you can get away with. 8 and 16 would certainly look better as I mentioned I think in the video. But they would rack up memory issues later down thr line ad you add materials to the landscape. I think ill do a video on that as well showing the benchmarks and differences in performance with materials on there

@我的暱稱 technically that is what this is 😄

@@mootzartdev I don't know what you're talking about ^^' _And no, I haven't modified my initial comment :D_

@ i must have been drunk when i replied or something

You really dont want to go to high with such large landscapes. Its just not really logical if you are a beginner for starters. If you want to design huge landscapes you need to learn really how to do most of the work externally so that most of the work is done before coming into the engine. And only really work on small adjustments inside the engine. Details should come from assets (meshes afterwards). Sculpting and such really is only 'comfortable' on much smaller landscapes then this.

@mootzartdev thanks for your valuable information. I created real world location in engine and size is 80kmx80km. I want to keep overall resolution as low as possible for better performance, but when I create roads, I need to rise or lower landscape using spline. My solution is: I create landscape using max resolution, when I finish my job, recreating landscape using lower resolution exported heightmap. May be there are better ways.

@@Nobatgeldi Well if you are very cleaver with your stuff.. you can create HLODS for distances. and keep high res close up. And play with your LOD's.. the issue with high res is the memory/VRAM issues that come with it. Once you add a landscape material etc. Other options (depending on your game type) is to mask or paint the terrain separately.. but if you are needing non destructive workflows during the project.. one thing is to remove edit layers. Which can really help down the line with VRAM. But honestly i would never really exceed 8k res maps for any project generally unless you are a very skilled user of the engine, C++ and such. All the best.

@@mootzartdev I am trying to use all capabilities of engine, Lods, Hlods, dynamic load ranges and occlusion culling. High ram usages are not problem for our projects but bigger resolution landscape eats more cpu power when loading and unloading landscape.

@@mootzartdev on this days may angel is: Runtime Virtual Texture. It increased performance more than expected.

Did you not read the title ? This is for Snappy Roads which is a paid tool for Unreal. So thats on you for watching the wrong content.

@@mootzartdev true, ;d but I had no idea until watched it

I've had no issues with it. But if you have concerns try doing them in batches. Or perhaps backup your project.

@@mootzartdev to late. everything messed up already

@@VELVET462 Sorry to hear that.

@ it was my bad, should have made a backup before.. but anyway, have to clean up the project. It will take some time to relink everything, but in the end its a much cleaner project again

@VELVET462 ahh well I should have probably put a warning about this as well. I have done the same sort of thing just moving folders. It's one of UEs biggest downfalls.

As in how to make heightmaps?

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Technically there is no required res for any scale landscape. It is based on requirements really. Experiment and determine what looks best for your situation.

@@mootzartdev thank you for the answer, DO you know, what is the best approach for making/finding ladnscape height maps with 16k res?

@@filipzalewski7885 I would always suggest Gaea

Not really. Best is to make the stuff yourself and use simple splines

@mootzartdev Hmm... You are right

Those are the Landscape Regions.

I don't really think it will effect anything as you can always add them back. It would only matter if you have code dependent on them at some point.

I think they are purely just tools for loading proxy/tiles.. And you can add them like i have and they seem to work the same. So no issue deleting. I dont think.. but they are handy to have sometimes.

im sorry. But i dont care ;)

@mootzartdev perfect answer xD

I use this landscape on all my tutorials nearly. And there are a few videos showing it with grass and materials. It is certainly possible to make this scale. But there are lots of little annoying stepping stones with lower specs. like not being able to have all tiles loaded at once when edited etc. ill be adding more of my games progress soon which will showcase the landscape more

@rickfuzzy I think it's you that doesn't understand. When I mentioned collision for a brief moment, it was related to the proximity around the player. If the low quality LOD is on for the landscape, it can cause floating grass bugs close to the player because the grass is following the location of another collision set from a higher resolution LOD. HlOD is pretty simple but needs to be introduced in a certain way for non technical people... its a lower resolution and baked down version of listed assets (in this case, the landscape) to create a more optimised version for distance views. It's as simple as that.

@ I think it was poorly explained but that’s just my view. And many of the issues that were encountered were just swept under the rug. It’s cool you do you and if people find it valuable then great but I just feel there’s an ever increasing volume of novice driven tuts which are not helping people to get to a place that could ship and rather just reinforcing poor understanding and template based methods. There are several infinitely better tutorials on landscapes out there. Your explanation on the correlation over lod distances vs racial loading also betrayed a bit of “um I’m not really sure let’s move on”. And if that is not the case then honestly the proper explanation is really not that complex.

@@rickfuzzy yeah, maybe i should just not bother i guess. It is a waste of my time really.

@ no dude. I’m not here to give you a hard time. I’m just giving you feedback so for the next video maybe when you hit a spot like that maybe pause and refine. I was probably too harsh in my original comment, sorry about that

Yeah i think i just misspoke.. That is the one i was referring to.

Shows how stupid you are I guess. You can't monetise with the amount of subs and hours I have. I don't need to make videos, and you don't need to watch them. For free I might also add. You ungrateful idi

@@mootzartdev I have long since moved on to more understandable people who spend their and my time usefully. Here's what you should think about. People never criticize blatant trash. They criticize what can be corrected. But you won’t think about it, will you?

@@pavelkubin1541 Good for you mate. Glad you have found someone who can cater to your lack of concentration. You cant sit and mock someone in the comments with a obviously creatively malicious and out of order critique and expect a normal person not to tell you to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. You thought your comment was funny, but it wasn't. All you had to say was, " Content is fine, but the video was way to long in my opinion ".. but you decided to be a prick. You are clearly one of those people that expect everything and give nothing but moaning and complaining. Even though I do this for free. I barely edit my videos to show the full process and because I don't have time to prepare a lesson plan for ungrateful people like you. Move on to others with the same information, if you can find people who actually cover this information. If you can good for you.

@@mootzartdev Is it okay that I didn’t read your comment beyond the first line? Will this not affect the subtle settings of your soul? I thought that you cared about what you were doing, but I was wrong. Happens. You probably like to waste time. Write whatever you want, I won’t waste any more time on anyone who doesn’t care what he does.

@@pavelkubin1541 Amazing stuff

Tik Tok brain is it ?

I won't be changing the way I teach. Sorry
