I’m using a landscape material with 12 layers, there are some areas that can´t be painted after paint some layers.  
Unpaintable areas shows a grey squares with default landscape material, not the material I made.  
Anny idea or guide to paint all the landscape layers well?

I followed this guide [Landscape Materials | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Landscape/Materials/index.html) , but not explain how many layers can be used or how to fix the issue I describe above.

You’ve run out of texture space. Click on each of the textures you’re using, and in the details, change ‘Sampler source’ from ‘from texture asset’ to ‘Shared: Wrap’.
