Introduction to PCG Workflows in Unreal Engine 5 | Unreal Fest 2023

This course will explore the exciting world of procedural content generation (PCG) using Unreal Engine. We’ll break down the basics of PCG and show you how to use it to create various environments.

Throughout the course, we’ll walk you through the build-up and workflow of PCG, providing comparisons to traditional scattering tools like Rail Clone in 3ds Max or XGen/Bifrost in Maya. You’ll learn how to use these tools to create detailed and complex environments, all while maintaining control over the final result. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of PCG and how to use it to create stunning environments in Unreal Engine.

I love this kind of tutorials--straight forward and precise.

It is awesome seeing those new tools in action and on a functional content (something that is doable, that you can imagine using it to make a real game).

This was a very good introduction! Thanks Daryl.

[MrLyonliang]

Awsome! Randomness provides reality, procedure controls the order and noise provide the randomness. Learned a lot, thanks!

great video - but its insane how widespread saying "one vertice" has become these days. its "one vertex" (point), multiple verticies...

Heads up for the UE team - You have provided session content & pdf's for most of the UE Fest 2023 sessions in your BOX account.
The pdf for this session is swapped into the folder : Hands-On Introduction to In-Editor Modeling .
Cheers,

15:23 it's possible to replace in "sampling methode" selection "one point par vertex" by center of surface?

Hohoho. Next destination is motion graphic. :)

Are the roof geometry in pieces before so that the orientation of the tiles will be aligned? can that be done in another 3d software or does it have to be done all in Unreal?

[nlknarf]

is there any way to check when the pcg graph generation completed? is there any node or output?

[MrMcnamex]

what is the best way to increase density/points..?

How to make the fence fit each other properly when placing on a circular boundary environment?
This works fine when when the Fence line is straight, but when it gets Circular, angular gaps start appearing between the fences, and if you try correct that using Z rotation, say you made it look nice and proper at 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock of the circular fence perimeter, then that also works for its diagonally opposite 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock but for any other directions, ANGULAR GAPS start appearing between the fences.

How to make the fences stick to one another in a circular environment?
Anyone knows any video that points the solution to this problem please?

Tried to follow the tutorial, but getting a hard time to get "copy points -> get actor Data" to work reliably.. it just works sometimes?

[andr]

Is there any relax option for the scattered point?

[chasechampagne]

OH you know when you see Daryl Obert as the presenter, its going to be good

[RoeJogan]

Is there a way to target only the start and end vertex in a spline? For example if I had a spline spawning a bunch of houses in a line.... and only wanted to remove the first and last house from the spline. The use case is related to using imported splines from open street map. the points that overlap between the two splines... are not easy to get rid of. Self pruning or difference nodes dont seem to work..

[kaingagame]

Does this system work on runtime? Or only in editor to set up a scene?

[roguekurosakislibrary]

Is there anywhere else I can watch all these videos? YouTube is blocking all videos atm.

real mess with ue is that noone tells is it good for game dev or just for renders, cause ue covering every 3d industry directions. i think this is too much for game dev but i cant really tell, so it drives me, as a beginner on a path of mistakes using render technology for game creation whitch drives me to frustration.
