I wanted to array a collection of books along a curve, but it seems that "Fit" only works with a sin

I wanted to array a collection of books along a curve, but it seems that "Fit" only works with a single input.

SittaOP•10/25/24, 8:35 PM

Could this be made to work with multiple inputs?

SittaOP•10/25/24, 8:39 PM

pattern seems to do something, but only 1 to 9?

SittaOP•10/25/24, 8:40 PM

Is it possible to randomize the pattern completely for more than 9 inputs?

Hey @Sitta

I think what you are looking for is Setting the Fit Mode to Random, instead of Pattern. Could you give that a test?
For the pattern, yes it is only 1-9 based on the logic of the feature right now, but if Random Fit Mode works as suggested above, do you still think numbers above 10 would be useful for the Pattern?

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•10/28/24, 7:35 AM

We are looking into it right now! Starting with the Megascans of course. We hope to have some info to share soon about this

Hey !

Here is a video that does just this actually!
It has our old UI, but hopefully it is useful anyhow!

It starts at the 14:57 timestamp

Architecture Scenes Made Easy in Unreal Engine 5 - Dash Tutorial

In this tutorial, Tamas showcases how Dash improves the workflows when making realistic archviz interiors in Unreal Engine. This includes procedural vegetation, light strings and staircases, and of course, placing AI-tagged assets with our Physics Painter.

As most of the tools in Dash are non-destructive and offer real-time modification it is ...

KwiktheDesigner•10/28/24, 6:46 PM

Hey people! So, noticed most things still are working how I remembered with only little adjustments. I'm just curious though as the content library seems to be completely broken? I assumed it was fab related, but I have no assets there at all. Is it just me?

aoshi11•10/28/24, 11:44 PM

Hi would it be possible we have a measuring tool in dash, probably like a point and drag, release spline like ruler we just point on the 3d scene. Or perhaps between vert points of the 3d object, example end to end corner of a wall mesh, with adjustable units and increments using scroll or other ui buttons

KwiktheDesigner•10/29/24, 2:58 AM

Nanite is something done on the unreal side to make polygon counts not matter so much. Once your mobile game was published they would still be nanite models as long as they were contained in an unreal game.

Hey! Welcome here!

Ye we have been meaning to fix a Refresh button for that library as well, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I think, for now, the easiest fix would be to re-install Dash. That will hopefully bring them back

Adnan Chaumette•10/29/24, 12:31 PM

You're correct!

There are some values where we still use some relative/offsetting, but we've been gradually changing everything into UE5 units, and the road tool's Width follows that specification.

SittaOP•10/29/24, 2:39 PM

Hi. I would like to migrate my tagged assets to another project and discard the original project. Is this possible without having to re-add and tag the assets?

SittaOP•10/29/24, 2:40 PM

I made a mistake in organising my assets...

SittaOP•10/29/24, 2:46 PM

I guess i would need to batch edit the path in the asset json somehow?

SittaOP•10/29/24, 2:46 PM

would that be all?

Adnan Chaumette•10/29/24, 2:47 PM

Hi @Sitta! @Costantino probably has the right answer to this :thinkies:

Ccharlemagne Hey all, might be me being stupid but is there a way to go in and edit a scatter...

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•10/30/24, 1:40 PM

Hey!

the idea is that you are able to continue to edit any of the tools through our Tools Panel, that can be opened through the Edit button up in Dash. Then once opened, you only need to select the scatter and it should auto-populate. Otherwise you can click the button in the top left of the Tools Panel to see all active tools in the level. But if your engine crashed, maybe it did not save properly so if your scatters is not in that Active tools list, I am afraid you would have to start over

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•10/30/24, 1:49 PM

Hey!

Yee I think we had Maya visible in the installer up to Dash 1.6, but not sure which version of Dash stopped working in Maya. So yee, GraphN is gone gone and was replaced with Dash. But feel free to grab older versions of Dash and see if it works alongside any old messages here in Discord

Unfortunately, we won't be able to give you any assistance regarding it as it was so long ago, I don't think any of us remember any details

I am confused about what kind of surface materials supports the Displacement option in Edit Materials. I have tried to import a lot of different materials through the Content browser in Dash but i never seem to get any diplacement options. Nanite, DX12 and Tesselation is enabled so i can get it to work with other materials.

Mikkel Strøbech•10/30/24, 2:56 PM

Imported materials is based mostly on SurfacePBR master material which doesn't contain Displacement options.

Mikkel Strøbech•10/30/24, 3:19 PM

Another thing i have problems with is the scattering density. In the screenshot you can see i am trying to scatter rocks on a surface. The density is at max which seems to be 10. It is a larger surface at approx 170x170 meters but when i look at how densely you can scatter grass on large areas i am wondering why i have nearly 2 meter distance between the rocks on average.

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•10/30/24, 3:28 PM

Our Material Edit and Blend Material tools only supports Megascans and Poly Haven assets from their respective menus within the Dash Content Browser I am afraid

We hope to give support for other assets/materials in the future!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•10/30/24, 3:29 PM

I think the problem here might be that you need to scroll down to Misc, and then increase the Max Count

Mikkel Strøbech•10/31/24, 1:03 PM

This is not true for Polyhaven maps. I have tried a lot of them. Even though they do import a Displace texture map it can not be used without manually changing a lot of things. No displace or height option for material. Are you thinking of using modelling tools with mesh displacement options?
