UE5 Landscape Auto Material - The Beginning
In this tutorial we will be going over my landscape material and how it was created. Every Tuesday and Thursday, until the tutorial is complete, there will be a video sharing the process in which I have created this material. I will be using Megascans for the sole reason that it is a free option that everyone will be able to access with ease. I myself use stylized and can promise that it looks just as good stylized as it does realistic.
I went through years of purchasing many auto materials, watching several other tutorials, and learning from others in order to achieve what I have for my own use and now intend on giving it to the world.
For those that wish to follow along with my landscape here is the project:

Ya know its not easy learning UE5 from scratch but this tutorial wasn't hard at all to follow and to my surprise I was actually able to recreate this example, thanks.

@@wonderscapecreations oh no way! That’s awesome, good for you! Yeah getting into materials and shaders is more new to me, but I’ve been doing 3D stuff off and on since highschool in 2014, dating back to 2010 with a software called XSI! Lol but just recently taking it seriously.. because man, what a field.

Hello... great tutorial... hope you can help me somehow. I have a giant rock golem in UE5 that's rigged and I'll animate it, but I'd like to paint some grass, stones and trees on it so they move when my giant moves... it's there a way that I could achieve this? thanks in advance
I'm not turning the volume up to hear you because I'll forget and the next video I watch will blast the sound out of my tv.

I’m sorry that everyone else is obnoxiously loud, I know it can be frustrating. Any louder and my literal half deaf ear will here my volume clearly. I’ve done what I can to ensure the clicking of my keyboard isn’t too loud, despite the fact that my new mic that I got a week ago is more excited to get those keystrokes I’ve still kept it to where my pc and phone volume can hear me at 50% volume. Can’t make everyone happy.
This is something I was looking for a while now. I am glad to see your recommendations/tips & tricks for organization of the material. Is it possible to use splat maps for generating landscape grass or foliage? Great work and thanks.

Hey there! Thanks for watching! This is my older series but it is complete, my newer one I only just finished recording the material section. The series is called World Building. There are a few things done differently but the general information stays the same. As far as utilizing splat maps to generate grass and foliage yes, you can and there are two ways to do so. Both have you make an area mask (something I teach in both of my series) you would then either use the grass node within the landscape material (old way and everything you generate has NO collision) or set up PCG to read the mask from the material to set up your grass and foliage (whatever you want to have collision will. Additionally with PCG when you place something where grass and such are, like a house, it would then remove the grass and such where as with the old way you would then need to go into landscape mode and point the grass out or risk having grass poking through the floors.)

@@wonderscapecreationsThanks for prompt reply. For time being "old way" would suffice as I don't need collisions but for sure I'll explore PCG option. When do you think new tutorials will be ready and available? Thanks again!

I won’t be going over the old way. I think I briefly touch on it. If not there are other tutorials on it. It’ll be a similar process to the physical materials that we will touch up on in December. I release 3 videos every Friday (accidentally released tomorrows today)
really like how you explain the reason behind everything since I dont come from a coding background. I am also learning how to make landscapes and I want to incorporate splat maps, I heard that you implement them yourself into your own AutoMaterials - will you also be covering how you set those up in the later videos? thanks!

That’s because I don’t have my audio Dow high you only need it at 10. I truly am sorry you found it quite but I’m not going to turn my mic up so loud that I have to edit the audio to remove background noise. My videos aren’t a means to make money, they’re a means to help others who don’t mind using the volume button for what it was meant for.

@@wonderscapecreations look homie this wasn't hate, it's just honest feedback. Your latest video is a tiny bit louder than this one but could still use a little more gain. I genuinely didn't hear you talking in this video. Making viewers turn up their sound to an audible level will still mean they will have to hear the background noise. The audio level on your video is just way too low. Viewers aren't going to mind a little background noise if your videos are helpful so don't tweak about it. If you're so concerned about it, then you can use an FX called noise reduction in Audacity which is free. Separate audio from your video and use that to clean up the sound. If you make helpful videos, people will watch more. If people can't hear you, they'll find someone else they can hear.
Maybe you should consider a smaller resolution. It is even on our big screen unreadable.

I am sorry that you are having an issue reading the text within the video. I'm not sure what I can do to help as I've played this video on both my wide screen 4k monitor (where I do all of my recordings) and on my 32" 1080p monitor and on both I can read the font. Sure, on the 1080 it is slightly more difficult to read but it is by no means unreadable from what I have been able to pull. However, I will see what I can do in the future to improve upon this for those that do indeed struggle with it and see if I can find a way to zoom in further on my graphs. Thank you for your reply!

I'm sorry you either don't know how or refuse to turn your volume up. I know that if I, someone who is half deaf, can hear it with perfect clarity at 50% volume that you could too. Now, if you simply have poor speakers then there's nothing I can do as I won't be redoing the videos for the select few that comment this. You could easily saved both of us time by reading the comments and seeing that I've responded to this before. Hope you have better luck!
