Thank you William, and yes I am the developer of this tool!
Your work is incredible. How long have you been using unreal for?
@@evanlouanthony as a hobby, well, quite some time, but in real production since 4.2 if I remember correctly!
thank you for this tool!!
Hahaha, was going to message you on our work Teams about this. Happy to see your tool get recognized!
What an amazing tool you've made!!!
Feels like every feature I dream about eventually becomes a reality in Unreal Engine. I love this incredible tool. Thanks for sharing, William.
It's killing it for cinematic. If you're planning to use theses tools without re editing them for games, then you'll be really disappointed..
Oh yeah? Then drop a video explaining why and with definitive proof why this method cant be used in game development or its just a false inaccurate opinion attempting to dis knowledge and let someone's expectations down.

Well akadz isn't wrong, but not entirely right either. Game development is a complex topic especially when it comes to optimization and performance.
Unreal Engine is heavily single threaded, which they are trying to address in the coming updates.
A few things to consider when optimizing games, is entity / actor count, size of the triangles (which is ingeniously solved with nanite), and overdraw just to name a few.
It just depends on the type of game that you're making.
Why it's bad to use such techniques for an open world, especially if you use it absolutely everywhere for everything, causing a large spike in the amount of entities / actors. Of course, excluding any smart hardware instancing optimizations in the background, it can work if you set it up correctly.
Level based games wise, it's definitely more viable to a certain extent. Since the number of entities / actors will cause higher CPU load, since all of them need to be loaded / sorted.
What akadz meant by reediting, is probably taking the results from the physics placed asset and combining them as 1 large mesh instead of leaving them as many smaller entities/actors, which will still give you the same visuals, but also converting a potential 100+ entities / actors to 1.
Either way, combining the meshes will be more performant than leaving it as separate entities / instances. William also mentions merging the mesh. Anyway better performance in games is a always good thing to have (:
@@JunkztrGaming I don't need to make a 20 minutes long video to explain why physics is fucked on Unreal Engine lmao. I just told someone who talked about "Dream Feature" to not be disappointed in some case since it's laggy asf. For exemple creating a system in my situation to simply play a cue when an object is hitting the ground is absolutely garbage even with the best collision box possible. Because yeah, unreal is fantastic because of everything it have built-in, the problem is that since it's a MASSIVE software, there is nothing perfect and yes, you need to recreate system that are working better in your cases in games.
@@JunkztrGaming Just like Lumen & Nanite, features are insane, good luck with the game stability & optimisation. Lumen will divide by half your FPS in certain condition and overall it'll make you lose 20% in average of true perf. I'm not talking about the weird lightning glitches it create. You just need to use Unreal at least for 1 project to understand where unreal is good and where it's not. Which mean that it's not simply, click & dragging. That was my point. That's the reason why i said, for cinematic Unreal is killing it, but you need to recreate systems & re-code stuff when it's games.
This guy and his channel is pure gold!!! Please, release a full course in UE!
you look younger in every new video. really
Hahah thank you! Better mental health, and a haircut does wonders!
Because he is a free soul
Oh fuck, he really does
That's the power of unreal engine 👀🕺
Something like, every time he restarts the Unreal Engine for the plugin, he also restarts the living 😍
Every minute spent watching your tutorials is priceless. Please keep them coming!
Got it, Avoid selection mode until baked. Complex collision to simple. Excellent.
The content is good, but I love this clip for the production quality. Lighting, audio, background, composition, everything is first class. A pleasure to watch.
You are truly a MASTER, not just because your talent and knowledge, but the charisma... Idk, you are special. Thanks William.
Thanks again William, you are an absolute legend! A stable factor in my previs work!

you always giving the best tips!!!
Great tutorial !!!
You rock with every new tutorial !! No pun intended :)
Thanks!
thank you for the amazing tut
Wow this exactly what I needed for my current environment piece! I have fire pits and I made a few variations of coal in zbrush and baked to low res. I was gunna place them by hand in the fire pits but this is gunna save so much time! 😁 thanks!
Thank you for sharing nolleg. Great job bro your are my inspiration to learn unreal engine love you bro ❤❤❤
Thanks for you sharing!
Damn, this is pretty cool! Thank you William!
my workflow already includes recovering and repairing my projects every 3-7 days due to engine crashes or buggy plugins so honestly you had me at free
Amazing Tool.
amazing job really your videos are awesome
Thanks @william , VEry helpful
Awesome! Please dont stop making content
the legend strikes again
You are a Legend sir, Thank you for all the work u do teaching us
This is amazing.
Thanks William 👏
Great video you earned a sub 👍
Don’t know from where you get this ideas, but THANK YOU 🙏 ❤🎉
Oh yeah one of my favorite tools in my arsenal. William not sure if you knew. But once you setup all your meshes you want to paint with the plugin gives you an option to save a preset. So when you come back to the plugin, you just load the preset and it will load up all your meshes again. Also you can set the weight of each mesh. Let's say you don't want to see that red rock too often you can lower the weight so it won't spawn as often when you paint with gravity. really awesome.
I just made the same tool months ago lol. With undo, gravity , baking to ISM , moving and cleaning already spawned assets and others, it also clean the assets with bad collision that fall in strange places, it’s very simple. If I guys need a tutorial just hit me up!
you are the man!
Thanks!
Brother you are a gem, you really should create a course with UE5 basics for beginners
I have been using the Physical Layout Tool for months now for my survival game project, Dismal Survival: A Father's Journey. Even though it can be buggy at times, I must agree that this tool is a massive time saver. I'm glad I settled on the exact same preferred settings months ago! I am considering creating some tutorial videos myself in the near future. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Does it crash when you press select all actors? Do you have a workaround?
great job
Excellent ❤❤❤
I really wanna see one video yours about unreal engine compositing for chroma. You are the best
WONDERFUL
I hardly see anyone talks about these tips tricks. You're best. I am want to Soo you explain about clothing, dress, collisions at different situations for example in shockwave, collision with metal, water etc. please make a video on it if you're available. Also Include about simulations related to non cloth yet dress eg: chainmail, hanging grenades/guns etc. Love your content
awesome!
Fantastic!
Great tips, thank you! I assume this plugin will work with nanite meshes as well?
tysm
大胡子老师,你是我的神!
Dude you're a life saver, thank you! Also wondering if I bring that rock mesh into blender and cut down the geometry using decimate or something, would that make the collision less heavy? I feel like I could likely cut the geometry at least in half. Assuming it would work.
Picking up easy mapper now, you're the man William!
Epic!
always wondered why this plugin is so underdeveloped. its so useful potentially
Awesome tut! They only thing I would add for the complex collision mesh from Zbrush part is maybe, as an additional step, do a decimated version and export that geo as the custom high res collision. Save ya a few million polys. Even a quick remesh/dynamesh version might work. (I haven't tried this so I'm just spitballing)
thank you for the tutorial! how would create a video from this? i mean, how would you record the simulation while the rocks are falling down?
Shout out sir!
Just remember to not overuse complex collisions since they are very unoptimized. Great tip is to choose complex collisions, do your physics stuff, bake it and then bring back auto convex / simple collision
