In this article I’m going to show how to create realistically looking rocky surfaces covered with sand in Unreal Engine 4. Most basic approach is to linearly interpolate two textures based on some designer defined value(i.e.. vertex painting). While the effect looks acceptable in some cases, there are situations where simple blending breaks the realism. One such situation will occur when trying to mix sand with gravel or rocks.
Recently, I haven’t been uploading any new free content as tutorials got more your votes but today… I’ve got something cool. A Showcase Platform blueprint. Great for turntable mesh previews. You can find more details below.
I have updated my asset packages so adding then to your UE4 project is simpler now. I’ve made a short video where I’m showing each step. I hope it helps you somehow.

Have you heard about SUPERHOT? An FPS game where time moves only when you move? I’m sure you have. Creators of the SUPERHOT had only one week to make playable prototype. We decided to the same. Our Project – UBERCOLD – has been made within 7 days in Unreal Engine 4.5 using blueprints only. Now we share complete UE4 project with you!
What’s UBERCOLD?
It’s also an FPS game, but in our case, time moves only when you DON’T move.
Check out UBERCOLD trailer:
Hello!
I present „Quick Bone tool” version 1.0.
If you’ve watched my previous tutorial about pre-made physics simulation (link) you know how can this be helpful and speed your workflow.
In few words:
Quick Bone tool is a simple script which helps you to quickly create single bones within currently selected objects. Created bones are aligned to objects pivot point accordingly. Skin modifier can be added optionally.
„Learning UE4 is awesome” –
That’s what you (or most of you) voted for in our online poll (see the results). That’s why we will make our best to upload more tutorials for you.
Today I prepared video tutorial where I’m showing how to make and import pre-made physics simulation into your UE4 game or cinematic. Enjoy!
Using Quixel plugins can really speed up the process of your content creation. They can also work together with Material Functions in Unreal Engine 4. I’ve decided to make a workflow tutorial where I’m showing some of my techniques.
