Unreal Engine Design Viewer #10 - Architectural Project Layout Map

In this episode of unreal architectural design viewer, We are going to implement a way to capture and display a map of the project layout. Here, we will implement a way to capture an orthographic image for the map from top view and display it within a UMG widget. In context of a architectural design project, you can use this to showcase the floor plan or the project plan. In a game, you can utilize the same method to show a map.

Unreal Engine 5.6 Landscape Deformation - Reactive Sand

Today we are going to explore how to create a reactive sand system using landscape deformation system we have worked on. This will be suitable for a desert or a beach landscape where characters foot or vehicle tires can leave a deep footstep mark or a track on sand. Here we will be using the distance fields based landscape deformation system we implemented before.

Unreal Engine 5.6 Stylized Landscape and Grass Materials

Here is a demonstration of updated unreal engine 5.6 stylized landscape and grass material implemented. Here I have made use of runtime virtual textures(RVT) to blend the grass color with the color of the landscape underneath.
