Landscape creation in World Creator 2, export to Unreal Engine 4 and work with materials from Quixel Bridge - Megascans.

The first part - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijlm2zdbC_8

In this part we will talk about how:

- create a landscape in World Creator 2 with 4K textures.
- experiment with filters and get the desired shape
- optimize Viewport in World Creator for comfortable work on weak video cards
- create multiple texture layers
- add sand texture based on ocean level
- import the created landscape into Unreal Engine 4 using two methods
- import Megascans materials using Quixel Bridge
- create a special function that allows you to draw these materials on the landscape
- fight with tiling and create special parameters for this
- configure displacement
- increase memory in Texture Streaming Pool and fix Texture Streaming Pool Over *** Budget error.
- export Split terrain from World Creator 2
- use World Compositor and Levels Tool in Unreal Engine 4
- import terrain by layers
- work with large landscapes
- what should be the resolution Displacement maps from World Creator
- Texturing, so that closeup is all right.
- create a group of parameters in Unreal Engine 4
- streamline workflow and speed up the shader compilation
- Avoid problems with drawing textures with different layers.
