I absolutely love the phsycs painting system. One of my favorite things about Dash. It's super fun. But one thing I keep coming up against is that it isn't designed with very large objects in mind. If I want to paint just a few large objects (boulders, large broken pieces of a spacecraft in a small area, a count of 1 is still too many.

Yee the problem here seems to be that to paint, you can't click, you have to hold left mouse and drag, making it hard to paint only 1 object

But in the case that you only need a few objects, I think the Physics Drop and Duplicate button might be better suited actually

It enables physics on the object and you can drag it around and let it drop down with physics instead

For clarity, I’m not trying to paint one object. I’m saying that the setting of 1 is still too high in some cases.

SSCC STUDIOS Does anyone have an idea how to make this type of street with dash?

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/23/24, 7:00 AM

Honestly, I would say it is little too complex for the Road tool right now, no proper structure for intersections, but we have plans to dive into these things soon

You can use the road tool and path Scatter to create one or more roads with poles on the side, but hard to merge them like this

I'm using the "draw vines" tool. Here 2 question:
1)I drag atlases on the scene. I add them with the "+" button to leaf meshes in the vines tool. Now some weird leaves appear (if I drag atlases on the mesh pressing ctrl with "create vines on selection" they appear ok). I'm on 1.8.5. Still have to downgrade to understand if it is related to beta version.
2) In path trace render I can see only the leaves (after enable nanite on them) but not the branches. What I need to do with them?

EDIT1: 1) yes, it is related to 1.8.5. I'll add this topic in beta section.
EDIT2:
2) solved: I've used "bake mesh" just on branches

kanchu9573•11/24/24, 7:46 AM

Thumbnails are not showing even tagging is completed. It is showing " downloading thumbnail". It was coming initially but after restrat all are gone. How to get back thumbnail except which how could I do the work? I'm in Unreal 5.4 version.

kanchu9573•11/24/24, 7:48 AM

sorry it is saying "loading thumbnail".

kanchu9573•11/24/24, 7:49 AM

It takes ages but nothing coming.

kanchu9573•11/24/24, 8:08 AM

Solved: simple restart do the job. BTW, can I move my cache folder to another drive?

Its probably utilizing your simple collision

Ascenial•11/25/24, 12:53 AM

Uh you can go into the actual static mesh and have it use complex as simple

How do use vines with the atlases? Is there a tutorial?

Hey @jo4k1m, if you try to zoom in by holding CTRL and scrolling on the mouse, do you see the options then?

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•11/25/24, 7:45 AM

Hey @nolanlarsont

Did you try setting the collision to Complex in Dash Physics drop menu as well? It is that setting that controls the Physics for Dash actually

I hope it helps

Ah sorry for not being clear! The Collision setting is for both Physics Paint and Physics Drop. Setting it in one, "saves" it for the other as well. We will add this option directly in the Physics Paint tool as well, but not gotten around to it yet

but not totally frozen - water in the middle

BBleak anyone know how to make a frozen lake?

Ascenial•11/26/24, 2:10 AM

Probably some sort of plane with an ice material and subsurf, then just boolean out the middle or cut it out so it looks like broken ice

Ascenial•11/26/24, 2:10 AM

Might need a lil bit of blender for that
