[username]

You lost me when you opened the program

Hahaha... 2:30 yeah very basic. It's just the most advanced thing I've seen ever. (I have no idea how to work with this at all, it's just interesting to watch).

[stuckurface]

I've never used UE4...and I just watched an hour of this. Good job I guess?

[strokedesign]

Alright Im gonna help with this 2:37 "basic stuff" to you folks who are just starting out. Firstly he used Maya to make the wall and road you can use blender. It is simpler, smaller and more friendly than Maya and is open source, so free.

1. Click description and open Ground Material Pastebin
2. Open Unreal 4
3. Make new project (game or whatever it may be)
4. Add a new material by clicking "Add New" 2:26 in Materials hopefully in a new folder if you did not used starter kit, regardless.
5. Name it 'Good weed' and double click. (otherwise it does not work)
6. Switch tab and open the Ground Material Pastebin you opened and select all the text by press Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Unreal at 2:37.
7. Smile like an idiot and move on to the life in the fast lane.

Me: "Hm, yes, very simple material"
