Jesus man, the amount of content in your channel is literally worth 1000$ of dollars of paid courses. Thanks for making it all free.

I've probably done ten landscape material tutorials, all helpful. But this is the best I've seen, the way you start from the beginning, explain what things are doing, then expand outward to add new facets. Other times I've just "made" a material; this time I actually learned how. Thanks!

[AttackOnTyler]

I think the most useful thing that has been completely glossed over when world partition has been demoed is the world partition grid setting when generating the landscape. You can specify the world partition grid size to match the sections per component instead of scaling the world partition grid after the fact

Holy hell, you put not only over 1k worth of course info, but a material people are charging 100 bucks for (with less functionality, and no documentation) up for free, you are amazing!!!

[wanamuhanga]

Definitely the best tutorial out there in terms of landscape. Thank you 🇿🇲

[Parabellum-X]

Come on you guys; this young man deserves a minimum of one million subscribers.
With as much rich content as this channel has provided, it deserves to be top-shelf quality.

Super useful and incredibly detailed! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for just this week. Thanks so much for putting this together.

I like that you’ve included an intro to Gaea as well. Their documentation is really lacking, so this helps.

[mrCetus]

This is an amazing tutorial! To me it seems to be the only one that covers everything from start to finish. I learned so much from watching it. Sadly sometimes the audio stutters on my device, but everything was still clear as you were talking slowly. A lot that my brain has now to process. 😉

[michaelnowaczewski]

I love how you explain things so even newbie can learn very complex stuff. thank you!

[kirastrike]

I just wanted to say thank you for the super good tutorial. It was really helpful and I learned a lot. I'm so glad that there are people like you who are willing to share such valuable knowledge. Wish UNF Games Teams stay Good Health & Happiness. Appreciate

[CrowBiomes]

Awesome! Incredibly detailed tutorial, Thanks for covering all the different topics.
1:02:08 If you use Normalized instead of Raw in Range type then you'll get less sharp edges in the landscape. Useful for closeups and games. You should try the latest version of Gaea( 1.3 bleeding edge) which has a lot of amazing stuff added.

[hamidrezaoloumi]

Awesome toturial, this is the first time I see a complet UE5 landscape material which cover everything inside it, So much appreciat of it🙏

[narowow]

Really useful tutorial, really explained the basics of materials and how blueprints worked, with the help of this video I managed to get over a hurdle in my UA5 hobby-project that I've been struggling with for some time, many thanks and keep it up!
