I have been looking and watching and learning something about this. Does anyone know how to make a world for eu4 and how to add it to my project? Is there a video on just how to do this?
I found a few of them. Which one should I watch and follow? Does it give details?
Ok, I guess not, Is there an option that I can down load pre-made worlds.
You can follow any one of the many tutorials. It depends entirely on what you want your world to be.
Is it indoors or outdoors?
Are you good at building meshes in a tool like Blender, or do you need to use pre-made assets?
Do you have money to spend on the Marketplace, or do you want to only use free assets?
Easiest is to follow some tutorial on how to do Landscape painting. If you can afford it, I highly recommend using one of the Brushify.io biomes, because it makes even simple landscapes look great, and the tutorials are pretty good on YouTube. It does cost a few dollars to get started, though.
There are other tutorials for how to paint landscapes with free materials. There are also all the Megascans assets that you can now get from EPIC, and there are tutorials on how to use those, too. It all depends on where you want to start and what you want to do.
If you don’t know exactly what you want to do, I recommend watching at least three different tutorials, to get a bit of an idea of the different ways to go, and then pick one and learn that in more detail.
That being said, there are tons of ready-made levels you can buy or even get for free in the Marketplace. Open up the Unreal Engine Marketplace Store, search for “levels” or “environments,” and take your pick at the price range that’s right for you!
Try for example:
Some of these require that you start a new project, then go to the asset browser and choose “add to project.”
Others require that you “create project” with the asset as a base.
Thank both of you for your input. That does help sense I never done it this way before. All I’m looking for is just a world with grass lands and so on. with trees and rocks. I just wanted to look like a world for the player. If someone could say hey this is what you want and I can add it to my project. Then I can look for video tutorials on that. I’m am new to this. I didn’t want buildings or houses in it. Just a plan world.
After looking a round for some thing. This is what I’m looking for
Yes I do. I all ready inported one, Just to find out it’s not what I wanted. I have been looking for a video for it. Just haven’t anything that gives detail
I’ll chip in here with my two cents: looks like you’re at the start of a learning journey about trains vs taxis.
Trains are cheap and fast, but they only go to very specific locations (i.e. train stations). Taxis are slower, they have to deal with all sorts of obstacles (traffic, road closures, alien invasions), they cost a lot more than the train too, but they get you exactly where you want to go.
So it is with game dev.
Basically all 3d marketplaces online work off the sales pitch that says “you don’t need to learn how to make stuff, you can get ($$$) everything you need here”. But that’s like catching the train, as soon as you need to go somewhere where there isn’t a station, you’re left standing on the road outside the station looking lost. The game dev equivalent of that (as you have already discovered) is: “I downloaded a bunch of free assets/environments (maybe even shelled out some dollars for them) but they’re not quite what I wanted/needed”.
Which leaves the taxi option, i.e. start learning how to make stuff yourself. Sure it’ll take a lot more time and effort than you expected when you started, but what’s more important to you? Slapping together some Frankenstein quilt of cobbled together bits and pieces that other people made in a couple of days, or digging in for the longer haul and building something decent and cohesive?
Anyways… as UnrealEnterprise said, there are lots of really good quality free environments out there. It’s entirely likely that if you keep looking for a while you’ll find something that’s close enough to what you want. Otherwise, jump onto youtube and do a search for stuff like “UE4 landscape tutorial”.
Thank you. That was under standable for me. I download the landscapes background sense it is free. I watch an intro on it and it’s just what I wanted to use. The issue is that I checked there web site and they didn’t have any tutorials on it. So I’m lost again. Any ideas ioFow Studios.
Guys, Thank you, I did find a video on this. I spent about 2 hours watching just to find out I had to be a patron in order to get the sample materials and textures in order to complete the tutorial. He just left that news out at the beginning of the tutorial. However from what I can see it was a landscape that he did make. I wanted something bigger so that players can explore, build, and create.
I’m still looking for tutorials on that landscape Ground that I added to my project from the market place.
