Hey @Lazy but talented Let me get back to you on this, I know we have been talking about a solution for this, but not sure if anything has been implemented yet in Surface Scatter, I know we have it for Path Scatter in 1.8, but that is not very helpful for your use case here

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•9/11/24, 1:38 PM

For sure!
Not sure if helpful or not, but you could use Surface Scatter with lower density to make sure there is no overlap and then fill in the rest manually, but as I write it it sounds stupid

But we do at least have Border Masking that can help you remove the flat stones from the border. So maybe a bit helpful at least!

I asked the devs about the overlap question, and we will try to look into it in the near future, but it seems it is not as easy to fix as I believed

i can only think that these stones have a sort of check via bounds or other complex collision check then if hit, scale them down or rotate on an axis or replace with another smaller mesh from the list, reiterate til no bounds/collision are touching, but yeah im not a programmer haha

Hey!
In one of the tutorials the guy scatters plants around an object just by selecting an object and the scattered material and clicking a button but I don't seem to have the same button, can someone please help? I would really appreciate it!
I circled the botton I am talking about above and the on the right is my screen. I want to scatter things on a surface around an object

Hey! That icon is from a very old version of Dash actually! Now in order to scatter things around an object, you need to open up the full Surface Scatter tool, scroll down to proximity masking and assign your object in there!

In order to update Surface Scatter, you select the scatter result, and click on the icon left of your circled on

Btw, quick tip, you can try the Dash 1.8 beta instead of Dash 1.7, for 1.8, we have a great getting started guide here: https://docs.polygonflow.io/
Download 1.8 beta here: https://polygonflow.io/download-latest-beta

quick question. I was checking my installed apps and seen "Dash" twice. Im guessing this is because the first time that I installed dash I only had one version of UE, now I have two so I had to re install dash. My question is do I need to keep both of these if I want them for both versions of UE or can I delete the first installation?

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•9/16/24, 12:23 PM

Yes! You can do that in two different ways:

1. You can manually search for Surface Scatter, Path Scatter etc and open up an empty tool and then assign the asset and surface, that exist in your level already to the tool.
2. You can also compute your own assets in the Dash Content Library, after you have done that you get the same drag and drop with CTRL functionality as you have with Megascans and Poly Haven assets in the Dash Content Library. By computing, I mean that if you open "Current Project" View in the Dash content library, you will see on the left your folders with assets, you can then choose one or several folders and compute them with our AI tagging system, doing this will make them appear in the Dash Content Libray. + as a bonus the assets will have AI tags, making them easier to find by searching for what you need

p.s, they UI in this video is from Dash 1.8 beta, but it will work the same way even if you are using official Dash 1.7

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•9/16/24, 2:06 PM

Fyi, most common reason for loosing tool connection is that one accidentally deletes the original mesh being scattered or the surface. But ofc you could have experiences a bug as well, if you get this issue more, just let us know and we can investigate with you!

that should show you the Megascans assets.

1k should be fine! Ofc it depends on your hardware as well, but I know the user OxyggenCube managed to get good performance when he did this 8K map

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•9/17/24, 12:47 PM

Hey!
If you want to be able to access all your UE5 assets in all your UE5 projects, the best setup would be to add all those assets to one UE5 project, called "AssetStorage" for example. Then you open that project and tag all those assets with the AI Tagging system of Dash. Then the assets will be searchable and useable for all your other UE5 projects. And once you actually use an asset in the new project, it will get auto-imported.

I hope it makes sense, let me know otherwise!
