Road Generator For Unreal Engine 5.2

introducing the PCG Road generator for Unreal Engine 5 a powerful procedural tool designed to create realistic and dynamic roads for your games or cinematic projects to shape your road you can easily extend the spline actor by holding the ALT key and dragging the spline adjust the position of spline points as needed to achieve the desired Road shape once you are satisfied with the roads form you can proceed to generate the specific Road features you desire within the road generator section you have the ability to generate primary features like the road itself the power line system and the cables additionally under the road module subsection you can create or add more Road features including guardrails curbs sidewalks Road ditches Road lines and road signs thanks to the spline-based actor blueprint the road generator automatically updates when you move the spline points seamlessly adjusting the road accordingly let's delve into each module specifics it is worth noting that each module can be used independently enabling you to create specific elements as needed for instance you can solely create a power line a road a guard rail or traffic signs within each module's property settings you have the flexibility to adjust various parameters for instance within the traffic sign settings you can modify the spacing between signs their local position based on the spline actor Road the order of the road signs or even fix the rotation of signs uphill which I will present to you later the power line system settings Grant you control over parameters such as local offset based on the spline actor to add variation and enhance the appearance of the power line you can select from different power pole mesh variations to achieve a randomized look cable creation and updates occur automatically requiring no further action on your part to simplify the editing process you can activate the power pole numbering feature which allows you to easily identify and modify specific polls in certain situations you may need to delete power poles within the power line by enabling the override delete option in the settings and selecting the desired poll number you can remove polls as needed the power line system incorporates array-based modules that can be added to each power pole introducing additional depth and detail to your scene these modules include pole angle braces Transformers Street lamps concrete bases signs speakers ladders and fuse boxes by enabling these modules in the menu and selecting the desired power pole by its index number you can effortlessly enhance the power line system the blueprint comes pre-loaded with high quality module meshes and you also have the option to incorporate custom meshes to further customize the system to explore the full range of features offered by this Powerline generator we invite you to visit our Channel or click on the link provided in the video description below after creating all the desired Road modules you can proceed to the module settings and customize them further each Road module generator comes pre-loaded with multiple module variations that you can add to make the final result more visually engaging for example in the roadline module settings you have the ability to change the type of Road lines adjust their positions or override their materials with just a few clicks similarly in the guardrail settings you can add variations choosing whether to apply them to the left or right guard rail the same options apply to curbs and sidewalks these variations are designed to randomize the appearance of the final Road preventing repetitive patterns and adding more visual interest furthermore if you wish to enhance the functionality or further customize the road you have the option to edit the construction script this provides flexibility and allows you to implement your own ideas and modifications limited only by your imagination if your project requires an unpaved road we have you covered in the road settings you can generate a gravel road type specifically designed for Countryside areas Forest Trails or any other type of unpaved Roads this road type utilizes a parallax mapping material that helps blend the road seamlessly with the landscape additionally if you require something different for your project you can override the road material and apply a different one to achieve the desired effect one of the remarkable features of the PCG Road generator is its automatic landscape deformation options by enabling this feature the landscape automatically adjusts and deforms based on the position of the generated Road or any other module you create to utilize this option follow these steps access the landscape settings of the road generator and enable the deformed landscape option make note of the layer name specified in the road generators landscape settings enter the landscape mode and switch to the sculpt mode create a new layer in the sculpt mode with the same name you set in the road generators landscape settings in this case the name is rode once you exit the landscape mode the landscape will automatically deform according to the position of the road you can adjust the start and end width inside falloff of the landscape deformation to fine-tune the effect if desired you can enter the sculpting mode to add more details or make further adjustments as needed whenever you make changes to the position or extension of the road the landscape will automatically deform accordingly ensuring a seamless integration this feature provides a convenient way to create realistic landscape deformations that conform to the generated Road enhancing the overall visual quality of your scenes certainly I apologize for not mentioning it earlier when the road goes uphill you may have noticed that the power lines and road signs are tilted to match the steepness of the Hill instead of being vertical however we have a solution for this as well in the traffic sign settings or power line settings you can enable the option to fix rotation uphill enabling this feature will ensure that the power lines and road signs remain vertical regardless of the slope of the Hill providing a more accurate representation in addition to the road related settings the PCG Road generator also offers street light settings these settings are particularly useful for enhancing night scenes in your project you can activate and adjust the lights on the lamps including parameters such as color intensity Spotlight cone angle and attenuation the road generator becomes even more exciting when combined with the new procedural content generation framework introduced in Unreal Engine 5.2 by epic games this powerful framework opens up a world of possibilities for taking your projects to the next level let me demonstrate what can be achieved when leveraging the PCG Road generator in conjunction with these new Unreal Engine features in this example I have utilized qixel Mega scans assets with just a single click you can populate your scene with high quality foliage assets that would otherwise take hours to manually place to enhance the realism of the scene I have added dry leaves and branches to the sidewalks and Road placed Weeds on the curbs and Scattered grass and trees along the roadside this level of detail and visual richness can be achieved in just a matter of minutes to learn more about using Quick's Omega scans assets with our PCG Road generator I encourage you to watch the tutorial on our Channel it provides a step-by-step guide on how to seamlessly integrate these assets into your projects if you're seeking to elevate your environment and create stunning scenes the PCG Road generator for Unreal Engine is an indispensable tool you can find it on the unreal Marketplace and the link is available in the video description thank you for watching and don't forget to render your tale with us foreign
