i made a material for my landscape, and it has the landscape material opting checked in the details panel, but when i try to actually pain it o my terrain it says “this layer has no layer info yet, you must create or assign a layer info before you can paint this terrain”. All three textures from the material show up in The Target Layers part, but they all say “None” underneath them. What exactly am i doing wrong here?

This is a good tutorial for creating landscape materials:

Hello ViceVersa,

This is the section of that link that you are looking for. It happens after you have assigned the material to your landscape and you are int he paint section of the landscape mode.

I have the same problem but nothing shows up in the layers section. Do you know why?

Hello, in the landscape material, add Layer Name to the Index on the Landscape Layer Blend nod, It’ll work.

I just right clicked the layer and renamed it. After that it worked.

Same problem. Unreal 5.5 : In Paint the target layers do not appear as was indicated or as they appear in any tutorials I have seen.

Hey,
I know it’s been some time but if someone comes by here, I think this button is your answer. It adds the layers from your landscape material
