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!

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

stuz0rOP•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.

Would be cool to be able to grow vines and stuff like that too, but I understand how hard it is to make this kind of thing keyframeable in Unreal.

arabinowitz•1/10/25, 4:13 PM

Question: do path scatter objects have collisions enabled, so that other actors that have physics react to them (bounce...etc.)?

Welcome back! Probably a few changes since you used it last then, let me know if you need any help!

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/13/25, 9:51 AM

In the Quixel Megascans view in our Content Browser, you will see assets you have downloaded from the Bridge Plugin. If you haven't downloaded any, I don't think it is possible any more. But if you do have stuff downloaded, you may need to check your path settings, more info here: https://docs.polygonflow.io/getting-started/user-interface/content-browser/megascans

We are working on a FAB integration so you can see and use your megascans assets from FAB

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/13/25, 10:30 AM

What do you mean exactly?
If you bake it to a static mesh you will find in the the project Content Drawer and can adjust it. But the procedural mesh from our Road tool is being produced from our code

Hey guys, I need some info on licensing for a studio. I run my freelance license and on most project been fine running on my own system. However I am getting asked to work on more projects with studios with walled networks that don’t allow any internet so would need a different license. Have you got a model that for these scenarios I can share pricing for

Retro•1/13/25, 2:49 PM

Dash is causing my Unreal engine Project to fail on Launch. Is there a solution to this?

Andrei Ivanescu•1/14/25, 5:10 PM

is there a way to bake this surface scatter in one single object with instanced meshes inside? When I hit "bake", it creates a ton of these single meshes, it would be much nicer to just ditch the parametrization and just have a HISM actor with thousands of instances, kind of like when you bake a PCG. Is that possible?

Adnan Chaumette•1/15/25, 5:31 AM

You could delete the tool (from the panel's dots menu on the to right) and basically have a non-editable HISM, which is what the tool outputs by default

Andrei Ivanescu•1/15/25, 8:51 AM

oh, since you put it that way, i guess as long as I don't try to edit it, there's no computational strain, then, right? I wasn't sure how it works (the problem with this specific one is that i've used the whole landscape to generate on, then masked with proximity to a bunch of curves - so density was up at 5 - so i wanted to get rid of the computational evidence of my ham-handedness :)) now i realize i could've just used a ghost plane to spawn these, then project onto the landscape inside the tool )

Adnan Chaumette•1/15/25, 7:31 PM

yeah there's no compute process on the object unless it changes. The change does include subtle things like transform updates and so on though, but even then you can just select the Freeze option in the tool's menu, and that should be it. You can unfreeze it later if you want, the tool won't have any compute cost until then.

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/16/25, 1:01 PM

Hey

Yee it seems right now you can only use already downloaded assets from Bridge, and not download new ones. Regarding FAB, we will ship an integration in Dash 1.8.5 which we are working to push as soon as possible!
If you want, you could grab a beta of Dash 1.8.5 right now: https://docs.polygonflow.io/advanced/release-notes/dash-1.8.5

the way to do it yourself is through the license manager inside of Dash, but that would have needed to be done before the Windows installation as that impacted the license logic I am afraid

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/16/25, 6:45 PM

Heyo, regarding the flying, no idea

Regarding editing the problem is that you have the new empty road tool pinned in the Tools Panel, so that's why it ain't updating when you select another tool

And btw, you can use the icon on top left left of the tools panel to open an list of all active tools as well

The one I have selected is not what appears in edit even without the pin

DanielFreden (Dash for UE5)•1/18/25, 12:14 PM

If I understand your video correctly, you want to create an extra road (for roadlines or something). The step you are missing is opening up a new road tool from Dash and then apply your preset to that.

When you are applying the preset now, you do it to the same road tool instead of a new one. Alternatively you could use the road tool menu to duplicate the first road tool
