Developed by Kaos Lab, Ultra Modular Landscape combines two powerful products into one, simplifying and speeding up your environment workflow.The first is a next-gen landscape master material utilizing a modular layer system that allows you to effortlessly add or remove layers with a single click. Thanks to its modular nature,you can easily choose between a cinematic look with all advanced render features or selectively enable features for optimal performance and high efficiency. Both example scenes use only a landscape material with 5 material layers without relying on static meshes.The Blueprint Prefab System enables you to spawn fully-formed mountains that impact multiple landscape material layers, each utilizing erosion masks. These mountains are seamlessly integrated into Unreals landscape system, allowing for a non-destructive workflow where they can be combined and modified. It fully supports Landscape modes edit layers, offering the flexibility to sculpt and paint directly on them. Best of all, it does so without consuming additional resources.The pack also includes two fully realized scenes, Iceland and Grassland. Each is offered in two versions: a Nanite displacement version for the highest visual quality and an optimized, high-performance RVT one.Heres the full list of features for the material system:Modular layer systemSmart material layers (auto-material): Procedural cliff and snow layer mask generationWorks with any texture types and channel packing (RMA, ORM, ORDp, or separate textures)Visible tiling/repetition removal (close and distant scale LOD, UV bombing, macro overlay texture, gradient curve-based tinting)Multiple UV types (landscape UVs, tri-planar projection, biplanar projection)Height map-based blendingRuntime Virtual Texture (RVT) support, resulting in close to no shader computation costNanite displacement supportFuzzy shading (with RVT support)Material-based contact shadowsEvery feature is highly tweakable, with precise controlsClean master materialWorks on its own or combined with the Blueprint Prefab SystemAs for the Blueprint Prefab System, it includes:Spawn, move, and scale complete mountainsNon-destructive workflow using Unreals landscape sculpting systemWorks with edit layers (modify the mountains with sculpt brushes)Control which material layers to interact with for each BP prefab instance16 different mountain shapes, each with 20 unique erosion masksBoth the mountain shapes and the erosion masks can be combined in multiple waysDoesnt consume extra performance during runtime (its automatically baked down to the landscape height texture)Learn more with this in-depth tutorial, where the cinematic Icelandic scene is created from scratch:Purchase Ultra Modular Landscape here andjoin our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Streamline Realistic Material & Mountain Creation In UE5 With Ultra Modular Landscape appeared first on CG SHARES.
