Currently Playing: Vertex Paint + Mesh Paint — Per-Placement Detail in UE 5.5 (Surface Forge)

🔴[Store, Membership, and Socials]🔴 https://linktr.ee/arghanionprime 🔗Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/arghanionspuzzlebox Two assets can be the same buuut... — same mesh, same material, same vertex paint. You can use the Surface Forge capability to paint extra detail like Moss, rust or dust. Or even alter the geometry faces on the same mesh in multiple places. Heads-up: mesh paint is a UE 5.5+ feature. On an older version you've still got vertex painting from the earlier videos, but this one needs 5.5 or newer. What's covered: - Vertex paint = asset-level and shared — paint one copy, you paint them all - Mesh paint = instance-level and unique — paint per placement (UE 5.5+) - When to reach for which: dense or messy UVs → vertex paint; low-poly clean UVs or per-instance variation → mesh paint - How they combine — the blend mask adds its sources, so vertex paint sets the shared default and mesh paint layers variation on top One asset, endless variation — no duplicating, no re-authoring. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 SURFACE FORGE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Get Surface Forge on Fab: https://www.fab.com/listings/9d27e228-5ee3-4bb5-a4a2-87ba386cb53a 🔗 Discord support: https://discord.gg/tyKJYwnutr ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📺 MODULE 3 — LAYERING AND BLENDING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Two-Layer Blending with Vertex Paint: https://youtu.be/l11cc2t9BHQ ► Curvature & Slope — Self-Texturing: https://youtu.be/P8_nVecy6J0 ► Snow as a Special Layer: https://youtu.be/zCvpIpnAxjw ► Mesh Paint & Per-Instance Variation (you are here) Next — Module 4: Detail Systems (displacement, WAT, weather): [LINK when live] Full series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3h9_2VztKEGUaAZhacBoBLiK0Xh8FL86 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 QUESTIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drop them in the comments.
