Hello. Is anyone aware of a way to make the new landscape paint layer system work like it did prior to 5.7? Or a place with updated docs? Setting up a basic landscape layer material I’ve tried everything I can think of to have the layers interact properly but it always seems to be blending them partially (painting the red as yellow) and can’t paint the base layer on top of the second layer.
Wanted to update with another example. So on the left the red is blending with the blue, but if you erase all layers and paint the red, it appears as expected.
Here’s to hoping someone chimes in with a solution. Seeing as this new way breaks 5.6 and older landscape materials you’d think there would be some documentation on how to update them.
I had this issue as I remember and I sort of fixed it by arranging my layers and importing them in again, seems it’s some sort of layer order issue because painting the layers was flipped as to how it was.
I found the solution. You need to select the currently painted layer and erase it. You can erase the current layer by selecting the layer then hold shift while painting. After that, you can paint the new layer.
Yeah that’s what I was saying in the first post. Prior to 5.7 you didn’t need to erase layers to paint, thats only half of the issue though, still no clue how to fix the blending problem.
Updating to 5.7.1 and setting it to no weight blending like you have it does seem to blend better. Are you able to paint over your second layer with the first? Using the setup in this video I’m still unable to.
Sorry, I didn’t properly look into why this happens as I was happy with the landscape I had at the time but on closer inspection this seems to be the reason.
Perhaps this method will be helpful to you. I encountered the same mixed problem as you did, and this is the only solution I have found so far.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiatkXQFJVo
