Hey!

If you don't get a login link after submitting there, it must be a wrong email assigned to your sub

Can you send me your email in a Dm? And also how long you want to pause it, I can see if I can find the sub and pause it for you

Hey! Happy New Year!

Full team is on a break so I am responding very very sporadically, can you send me your email in a DM?

Then I can see if I find it

Hey.

This morning, I changed my subscription from "Trial" to annual service which I purchased a few weeks ago. However, after activating the annual service, the plugin still shows that I have only 500 AI tags (monthly), not the 4000 which I thought came with the paid service. What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks and Happy New Year's!

Never mind. I rebooted UE5 and it seems to have fixed the problem!

badeyewill•1/3/25, 8:48 PM

I'm confused about something. I bought the Freelance perpetual and it says "Same features as in the subscription models below" but I can still only index 2000 and not 4000 items per month. Especially for the object previews this is a bit annoying. Any way to set this limit to 4000?

WestinsWorldStudio•1/5/25, 2:25 AM

Noob question here. I'm trying to scatter rocks around the road. When I change the distance a certain threshold the rocks disappear. I'd like to push them toward the cliff rock meshes. Any tips?

Bajiru•1/7/25, 12:34 PM

Ello gang! Is there a tutorial on enabling displacements? Cant seem to find it anywhere

Bajiru•1/7/25, 12:37 PM

Never mind, figured it out :))

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/7/25, 12:56 PM

Hey @Kinglaw_2023, you need to bake/convert them to static meshes first, then enable nanite on then and then displacement will work!

good morning

Quick newbie question, please : is it possible to add other folders than "Content" to add assets ? for example, I have several separate content plugins folders (for example, my own sandbox) that our CTO wants us to use for our tests (especially because it's not in the Revision Control / Perforce scope). How can I add my Sandbox folder to Dash Content Browser, please ?

Xavier 𝐖𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐁𝐘 Albert•1/8/25, 2:57 PM

Hi everybody

First, thank you to Dash team to work on this amazing plugin. It is only in its infancy and there is lot of limitation in certain features, but it is already super powerful and a huge time saver for sure. I can't wait to see what the future will bring !!

I would love to have your help on the recent change that quixel & fab brang. Dash material edit and material blend works with my former quixel library that is on my drive, but for new materials (QUIXEL ones) that are added straight in the content browser by the inside FAB plugin, dahs doesn't work. I know that for now it works only with megascans and polyhaven, but these materials added from fab are still quixel right ?

So what workflow do you recommend to use our quixel claimed library that is NOT on the local drive ?

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/9/25, 6:10 AM

Maybe the docs is wrong

Select road and search for bake or static in Dash, then you should find the Action

Xavier 𝐖𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐁𝐘 Albert•1/9/25, 8:11 AM

Is it possible to weak the density of each asset from a group you scatter on a surface (on the same action, not 2 different scatter tools) ? for example I want very few trees, but lot of grass.

Xavier 𝐖𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐁𝐘 Albert•1/9/25, 8:14 AM

also, the AI assistant says we can use a texture map as a mask for blended materials, but in the tool settings there is no such category.

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/9/25, 8:25 AM

after baking it, and turning on nanite on the road, you need to search for "tesselation" in Dash, that is a shortcut to edit the init file. And then after running that action and restarting UE, you should be able to see and adjust the Displacement value in Material Edit or Blend Material and see displacement happening!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/9/25, 8:27 AM

This is coming in Dash 1.8.5 as we are adding a table feature into some of the tools, with that you can add in several meshes to Surface Scatter and then adjust if there should be more of Mesh 1 compared to Mesh 2 for example !

Xavier 𝐖𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐁𝐘 Albert•1/9/25, 8:28 AM

Sorry about that. You can use Vertex Colors though

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/9/25, 8:32 AM

hmm good question, no experience with that plugin so can't help much. But maybe you can try to find some guide online on how to use that with PCG, our scatter results are the same as PCGs, they are both HISM, so that might be helpful.

Otherwise, you can always bake the Dash scatters down to individual static meshes or convert them to UE foliage painter, if that makes it easier for you

Heyo!
Here is a FAQ post about just this: https://docs.polygonflow.io/getting-started/getting-started#sharing-the-level-with-someone-without-dash
Let me know if you have follow-up questions

Luciano Daluz•1/9/25, 12:32 PM

Thanks @Daniel - COO so the client will get the project like "all static meshes project" or there will some warnings or so? Anyway, gonna download the trial and take and see how it looks.

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/9/25, 1:00 PM

No and yes, if you don't convert anything to static meshes, the things will be the same types as they are for you. But they will behave like static things yes. Besides our own custom procedural meshes (as mentioned in the docs), we only use native UE datatypes, so our scatters for example create HISMs, so the client will see the HISMs, but won't be able to adjust them through Dash, that's all

Maybe they will see some warnings, but nothing to worry about

Ye give the trial a spin, it is fully featured so you can experiment with it, and pass on questions here!

Luciano Daluz•1/9/25, 3:07 PM

In the road tool is there any way to include Street Curbs on the side of the roads? I tried to use the same curve I use to create the road but it doesnt push the road properties.

KKinglaw_2023 Never mind I found the Draw mesh option 😆

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/10/25, 9:06 AM

Nice! And also, you can use the Object Mask and the Inside feature to achieve the same thing!

stuz0r•1/10/25, 2:49 PM

I asked this in another channel, but wanted to ask it here. Is there a way to keyframe parameters for certain channels in the Dash scatter tool (or any tool)? For ex. the radial scatter, I'd like to keyframe the X rotation so that each of the scattered objects rotates independently. You can do this by sliding the slider in the Dash toolbar, but I can't seem to find a way to actually keyframe those in the UE sequencer. Appreciate any help!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/10/25, 2:54 PM

Heya, sadly you can't

It is something we tried to fix before, but it turned out it was really really complex, so had to pause that idea for the time being

stuz0r•1/10/25, 2:55 PM

Ah! That's totally okay. Was just curious and thought I was maybe missing something. Man... that would be a huuuge game changer as it would take over some of the mograph tools that are in C4D.

stuz0r•1/10/25, 2:55 PM

Thanks for the response though!
