I have seen people say that they know how to do procedural generation with UE4 blueprint. I am quite lost on this idea, as I have explored several posts on this exact topic. People don’t tend to leave projects for me to open and explore for myself, and most tutorials are either using C++ or are out of date. I would appreciate it if one of you beautiful people could explain me how this sort of thing would be done with blueprint. I would like to know the most efficient way to do it. Any help is very appreciated. Bless everyone and have a wonderful day!
I would love some help with this please.
Hi, DeadlyForest
I believe the best way to do this via blueprints only is to use the procedural mesh component.
There’s a technique called “octree” that you’ll want to look up for optimization.
Instanced static meshes work as well, but I believe the former is the best method but also more advanced.
I have played around with it a bit and my biggest obstacle was how to make sure something wasn’t visible to the player and such.
Turns out that tutorial no longer works. I followed the first episode to a tee and it did not spawn any object/actor at all

You will need to go back through the videos as it works fine for me.
