    If you're missing the "Landscape" pin, then select your input node and configure the settings on the right to have a custom pin that takes a Landscape. Similarly, select your SufaceSamplerNode and set the "ExecutionMode" dropdown to "Debug" to see the cubes in your editor.

    Exactly my issue, and this is a great starting point, thank you!! Edit: So apparently the Input node is almost deprecated. The current dedicated solution is to use the "Get Landscape Data" node and pipe it into surface instead of the Input node.

    First thing first. Your way of explaining the base root of PCG is one of the best i found so far. Its all clear to follow, and most of all, You explain whats happening and why. More people should take those videos as starting point of how to teach others. Now my question is, how to add in to PCG setup, a single mesh ? so basically, a part of having all the bushes, floor, rocks etc., i want to have a tank as well. The tricky thing for me is how to spawn only "1" mesh (tank) within my PCG setup so that it always stays with all the rest of elements and also it moves and "changes" when changing the PCG actor position. @azielarts

    Hmm strange, maybe try restarting the engine, and hitting compute on the PCG graph in your level? It could also be that the PCG volume is not overlapping the landscape. Or it could be that the actual points are too small to see, In which case you can try adding a bounds modifier after the surface sampler multiplying the point bounds till they are big enough to see

    Any mesh could be placed with it. A maze specifically I am not sure. I am sure there is a way. Alot of the applications I have used so far are for scattering and randomness. It might actually work to have maze sections. Like little squares with maze walls in different configurations. Then you could use this to lay them out those sections randomly.

    If by "vibrating" you mean noise, then change AA to TAA or TSR. If you mean that stuff is moving, like due to wind, there is a setting on static mesh spawner named Evaluate World Position Offset along with World Position Offset Disable Distance which you can use to tweak or fully disable the wind effect that exists on your foliage material. If you meant something else, you'd have to elaborate. If you figured out what's the problem, please share so others can benefit as well if they find themselves in similar situation.

    @@carlosapiens Hey, so if you see any cubes it means that one of your nodes is set to debug. The D key is a toggle for debug view that only works if you have the particular node selected. So first go look at your graph and find the node that has a blue/green Dot on it(that means it is in debug mode). Just select that node first and then hit the D key to turn it off. The Dot should go away as well as the cubes. You also might have cubes showing from multiple nodes at once in which case you need to select each of them and turn off the debug mode. Hope that helps
