World Partition And Data Layers - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

In this tutorial I'll show you how to convert a level to World Partition, how to create and modify new Data Layers, and how to stream data layers in and out at runtime in order to optimize your game.

At last, someone explaining subtle change with data layers when progressing to ue5.2/5.3. Brilliant demo. If u missed it, ue5.2/3 need data layer asset creating first.

What an amazing tutorial. Thank you for sharing the core concepts and the logic! If there was a videogame about climbing a building from outside the windows all the way to the top, this would be the best practice method for it.

I have never been so early to a MizzoFrizzo video, keep up the great work!

[navidumardaraz]

I love the way you explain the process. Very good!

not sure if any other people mentioned, but private data layer and normal data layer cannot be co-existed. The engine will crushed

great tutorial. I wanna know about baking lights in a world partitioned level. how does that work?

[samuelyang]

Thanks for the tutorial! Learnt a lot about data layers!

I try to make a 10km landscape with real data height map. when i import the height map for the landscape in open world template I get some huge high purple straight lines. is this an error? can i hide them? I cant find a solution.

Is there a way for me to convert data layers into a seperate, independent level?

[velha]

Should i use World Partition with data layers or Level Streaming?

[wholebitmedia]

I would like to try this but wondering if something is built procedurally at runtime but the generator is on a data layer do the characteristics carry over or do the parts have to have some type of blueprint.

Hi, how to load with camera at the beginning of the video

@MizzoFrizzo

Hi sir, I was searching for increasing performance in my project. I was wondering if, when I create a data layers levels for example entering in city, making the collision box to activate and disactivate the level, the rest of the landscape can be still seen in the distance trough the gate of the city with HLOD’S created in wp? At least that what is in the viewport 🤣 sorry maybe not so specific question but new on everything so trying to learn 😊 thank you

Very well explained @MizzoFrizzo - appreciated it. I'm somewhat new to UE and working with a very large level for cinematic flight animation. Was running into resource issues so exploring world partition as a solution and it brought me here. Forgive the newb question but can I apply the beginning portion of your tutorial to a cinematic animation? I don't need the game-based level loading with collision boxes - just to load the portion of my level that will be seen by camera, and not the entire (huge) landscape. Thanks!

why my editor showed me that the in data layer is invalid, i did exactly what you did in the

[ivanpetrov]

Hi sir, I followed your tutorial and it’s great. I wanted to ask for some more info. When I do the box to load and unload the layer, to unload it’s working great but to load, I need to move the camera so can load the layer fast. If I go straight I can’t see the layer loaded in. I was wondering maybe this can be becouse of bigger group of actors inside the layer to load at once, maybe it’s better to manage it with more sublayers and make the things load up more gradually or it doesn’t metter this ? Thank you and sorry new at this so trying to learn it better possible 🤣

My apologies, king, I'm late to your latest banger video 🙏

[timmxwareforfait]

Is there a way to show different data layers for different clients ?

How would I go about making an open world game in a city? I know this video covers most of the optimizations for stuff like that but what about like for example in Spider-Man when you climb up to the top of the tallest building you can see the entire city from up there. How does the games performance not tank when it has the entire city loaded up at once? Im sure they probably dont load certain props like cars or street lights etc but you still see the entire city and that must still be a lot. How is this done?
