Hi all again, general one as i dont want to bug @Daniel - COO

Has anyone got a good tutorial or an idea on how to create ground like this

I "think" I can use dash to do it but bit stuck on the best process

which in my humble opinion would be a great tutorial! Cough cough hint hint!....

Hi! Which part of the ground are you curious about? The concrete slabs?
I would just do 2-4 variants in Blender/whatever DCC you use, then place a few manually and duplicate them further in groups.

Adnan Chaumette•11/6/24, 10:04 AM

We have the tool Grid Scatter, but it's not quite helpful to do this type of pattern right now. This is something we want to improve fairly soon, fwiw. Ideally, you'd have the ability to offset n rows or collumns, which is perfect for this use case.

BleakOP•11/6/24, 10:45 AM

I am most definitely not a blender aficionado! I was thinking about using a blend tool with moss or something

Adnan Chaumette•11/6/24, 10:46 AM

you can even do this with UE's modeling tool tbf; it's just a cube with slightly beveled corners

and then you duplicate it all around

let me see what damage i can cause!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/6/24, 3:40 PM

The price for the updates has not been decided yet actually, but it is gonna be lower than the perpetual license cost ofc, and it will be in line with how others in our industry price theirs!

We actually created this based on how others have done it, but maybe you checked other companies than we did, please share yours if you want

If you want to use Alipay, we have a separate button/link on our pricing page, if you don't need to use Alipay, you can just use the "Select Plan" button on one of our different license options

tvogel.•11/6/24, 3:44 PM

Thanks for your information. So I have to wait untill your tool works a little bit better and all the coming main features are added.

I was thinking of dash have a sort of material layering system using the newer stuff from ue which can automatically be added to existing asset materials, so we can have more consistent material effects across props on the scene. Though not sure if its possible or valid. Hehe thanks

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/8/24, 5:41 AM

Hey

The last time we checked, it was not actually possible to support UEFN, but we will certainly check it again in the future

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/8/24, 5:43 AM

Hey, yee the Megascans assets from FAB are not the same as from UE-Bridge, so it ain't as simple as just moving them like you tried. But we are working on proper support for FAB/Megascans and hope to have something to share soon

So stay tuned!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/8/24, 5:46 AM

Good idea for sure, but I have no idea either if it is possible or not

btw, which newer stuff from UE do you mean exactly? Getting some links would be great

KKwintspiracy got it, but what is the current solution in the meantimee?

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/8/24, 6:10 AM

Right now you would have to treat it as any other custom assets, i.e, add them to your UE project and then in the Dash Content Browser, go to the Current Project tab and compute the folders there. It will give you access to CTRL drag and drop, but you won't have Material Edit or Blend Material abilities, unfortunately. No way of getting that right now

KKinglaw_2023 is it possible with DASH to manually place or paint plants/grass in specific are...

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/8/24, 6:15 AM

You can of course drag in and place manually assets from our Content Browser, but that it more suited when placing a few assets, not much grass/flowers on a terrain. May I ask why you don't want to scatter? Just so I understand your thinking here?

We have not built a foliage painting tool, as the UE foliage painter is quite good actually, so using that is always valid if one does not want to use scattering

We do have our Physics Painter tool, but that would be more suited for Rocks etc, instead of grass/flowers

KKwintspiracy my bad, i get it. And you can also create the landscapoe directly from Dash. Dop...

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/8/24, 12:01 PM

yee our Blend Material tool and Material Edit tool does not support Landscapes properly yet. But ye you can create a terrain with Dash and use Blend and Material tools on that

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/11/24, 7:55 AM

Hey @Ryan

Nah not right now, we have been meaning to look into this but have not been able to find the time just yet. Hope to do it sooner than later!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/11/24, 3:59 PM

Hey!

We have actually not shipped FAB support yet, so right now you can't add/adjust displacement through Dash on the FAB assets, only assets downloaded through the UE-Bridge plugin I am afraid!

FAB support coming soon though!

Ppitamaoui I still can import the textures I need, is there a way to apply displacement or ...

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/11/24, 4:13 PM

Aha yee of course you can still do it the "normal Unreal way"

Never tried that myself but this video looked hopeful

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/12/24, 8:18 AM

There is not I am afraid, honestly not sure if it would be possible even, but noting it down as a request!
For now, if this is something you would need to do often, I would either save a preset of the terrain etc, before doing the conversion, or I would duplicate it, and convert the duplicate. Both duplication and preset is located in the tool menu in the Tools Panel

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/12/24, 3:15 PM

Hello @KingOverkill

You can definitely work together with your brother! Depending on what you will do with Dash there are a few things to think about, you can read some basic info here: https://docs.polygonflow.io/getting-started/getting-started#sharing-the-level-with-someone-without-dash

Basically, if you use Dash meshes (terrain, vines, roads) you need to either convert it to static meshes for him to see it, or he can have the plugin without a sub, as you suggested

Sounds like a solid plan!

Yes. I also updated to 5.5 from 5.5 preview, and I could not start unreal unless I changed dash plugin to not starting by default.
