I am trying to learn how to create landscapes within Unreal Engine 5. I am following a tutorial series from Stylized Station, but wanted to learn how to use landmass brushes in order to create the landscape itself.
I looked at a few videos on YouTube and got the basic essence of how they work. Following from information I gained from Ben Cloward (Shader YouTuber), I tried to resample my environment in order to increase the environment resolution. This subsequently broke my landmass brushes: the ones I had already set up, and any ones I placed afterwards also did not work anymore.
Why do the landmass brushes seemingly break after resampling the landscape to a higher resolution? Also what is the correct way to increase landscape resolution after having created the landscape?
Hey, so I messed around a bit and I think if you clip it after resampling It brings back the Landmass stuff but Iām so new I donāt know if this actually keeps the resample
Got the same problem, but in reverse. I wanted to resample by decreasing the resolution and got the same effect as you. My blueprint brushes are still all there, but they donāt affect the landscape.

I would guess in this context āclipā means to drop below - that would be my best guess. If you have clipping geometry it is overlapping and z-fighting, so I guess the solution is to āclipā the landmass brush into the surface of the landscape to bring it back. (Havenāt tried this, working on other projects)
Either this is a bug or the feature is currently not supported. The landmass blueprint brush breaks after using the Landscape Resize tool with āResize Modeā set to āResampleā. However, you can get the information back by resampling back to the same settings you had previously (ie. if you resampled from 63x63 quads Section Size to 127x127 quads, switch it back to 63x63 and hit apply and the brush will reappear).
On the other hand, if you make changes to the settings but set the āResize Modeā to use āExpandā or āClipā and then hit Apply, your landscape brush will be preserved. Unfortunately, these 2 other settings donāt really let you increase the āOverall Resolutionā of the landscape much, they mostly affect the āNumber of Componentsā and āTotal Componentsā (you can compare what values will change based on your current settings under the āOriginalā and āNewā columns of the āChange Component Sizeā dropdown when you activate the āResizeā tool).
