In Unreal 5.3 "Density Noise" is "Attribute Noise"

[qhhuetran]

Changes in UE5.3

To get "Mesh to Points", choose "execute blueprint" --> select Meshtopoints in the blueprint element type
Great tutorial btw, very concise!

[SmkAslt]

This dude is fucking incredible. Thanks man. Folks like me with limited resources and time need more people like you. I hope as many people as possible sign up for your patreon.

[cookieClarke]

Unreal 5.3 "Get Actor Property" replaces "Property to Parameter" by the looks. Great tut btw:)

[ParikshitBhujbal]

Its like you have combined all the PCG tutorials out there in one ecosystem, makes it easier to understand, great work!

[RubenKP]

If anyone else had troubles debugging the Density Noise at 54:06 you gotta Open PCG_BasicSpline and Connect the Output of the last "difference" block to the output block there. After I did that it worked for me. :)

[trendyourdays]

for those it can help if you stuck at 54:06 and cant see the debbug try to duplicate your PCG_basicspline and use the new one in the pcg subgraph plus dont forget to connect the Outpout to the last Difference node

[testfreak]

never been a technical guy, but one thing I can say now I can understand pretty good the PCG basic workflow, thanks for that.

[JohnnyPope]

One of the most informative and useful tutorials on PCG. This is a mini course in itself and one wouldn't be disappointed if they'd paid for it. Thanks so much!!

[brodinskii]

For those who have the issue around 56:00 min in the video, where the boxes won't show up after you press Debug on the PCGI Scatter Graph. If you are running 5.3 or higher, go in to your Sub Graph and turn on and off debug or disable -> enable the "FILTER TO POINT" node which UE creates on auto between the Basic Spline PCG and the Attribute Noise. That did the trick for me!

[renobrecords]

I'm teaching myself game dev and wanted to tackle progen bc I think it's so cool. This is easily one of the best tutorials on PCG. Subbed!

[pugmanzeno]

Your tutorial is god tier !! Not only showed us how to make it, and let us know why we doing it. Thanks !!

[Freg-ldlo]

Wow, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[zilla]

This is on an insanely high level. Thank you!

[AnotherMFwithstudy]

your are best mann dont give up you provide one of the best unreal tutorial on youtube and udemy

[Sithrak]

Hi, awesome video even more so it's an amazing masterclass on PCG as a whole. Thank you!
As I'm watching this after a few months, there's some slight changes that would be a great addition as comment overlays during the video :)
1. As @RubenKP mentioned, passed over the Output node for PCG_Spline 54:06 [Add the last PCG Spline "Difference" Out node to the Output] that time would work perfectly as its right before your debug
2. There is no more "PropertyToParamData" node in the Param section, but there is "Get Actor Property", which works the same 1:04:42 (it shows an error on the node, but seems to be working anyway)

[zartron]

He knows what he is talking about, the code is thorough and complete, and he explains it very well. Three thumbs up!

[kyaunaalonzo]

I am so sorry that YouTube did that to you. I have really enjoyed your videos and have appreciated all the information and knowledge that you share. I will be joining your patron. Thank you. I'm learning so much from you.
