We used assets that were purchased in this stream, so we didn’t share the project. It was just to show off what high-density foliage can do to your levels performance/quality wise.

do you think its possible?
thank you and regards

23

It’s not up on youtube yet (at least when I checked), but you can watch the archived version from the twitch channel if you click on the ‘videos’ tab.

don’t wait for youtube anymore

25

Hello Guys I know that the last link I posted was Animated Tree now I have started a series on foliage maybe this might help some people out… if they post this live training session it would work out even nicer for every one… any way I take textures made in Gimp build meshes with blender import them into unreal engine 4.15 … oh yeah and did I mention I show create LOD’s for the foliage as well cheers every one. https://youtu.be/Vt7Yk6IJWGg

Ok, archive is up, sorry for the delay!

I am trying figure out how the material he shows 31:25 works, is it available to download anywhere, he says he was going to share it but i could not find it, i understand that he was using assets he could not share, but the material looked really complicated to me and i was hoping he would go into more detail on how to set it up, the approach he used to texture and fill the landscape with grass and trees looked very useful and i was hoping to use it in my own scene.

Same question. Where tis node could be downloaded? Do we miss something?

34

Same issue as the above 2 posts. There’s no “content” download linked in the description of this thread unlike’s other landscape tutorial. Given that he never goes into those material expressions, it’d be nice to see an example. The in-question nodes can be seen in this screenshot and are used to link the distribution of the foliage to the underlying texture when applied.

35

As an amendment to my above post, to future readers, it would seem that you can achieve what these nodes are doing via this technique. I believe this is the “magic” he employed:

Hi hi, I just started learning UE4 and came across this great LIVE stream. I’m wondering if the shader used in this demo was uploaded somewhere? Thanks :slight_smile:
