Unreal Essential Training (2016) Tutorial Blog Part 4

Here I assigned a material to the landscape. *Note others had problems with the Landscape material that's why it looks like this instead of this.

(1st Picture Vs. 2nd Picture)










I am assigning Layers here because I can not paint them in until they have been assigned.

After I did this it actually changed my landscape to normal as in 2nd picture above.


Here I applied the 4 different paint materials I have available. The Rock, Mud, Grass, and wet materials were used in this landscape.
