It's a bit silly that it's an option that you have to set each session(if you want to use it).
It's a conspiracy to get us into writing 456 files!

One thing though, auto backup has never worked for me. I'm on OSX, maybe that's it??

Why 456?

Great suggestions. Please do take note of how Unreal Marketplace did it (code plugin category) and dont forget its 88% royalties too. Thats a good number.
Of course gotta do a proper search sort and filter functionality

Please do any kind of way to do landscape splines. Or does anyone know you can convert unreal spline components to landscape splines? Thanks

update?

Something like this might work

So few month have past since my initial reply. There are few additional things to say.

In UE5 there seems to be not convex collision meshes limit, you can put 1000 So there is no need to monitor what convexde composition SOP is generating.

The other thing is that you can actually export from SOP context with rop_fbx. You simply add primitive string attribute "name" with correct names per LOD stream.

"LODGroup/LOD0"
"LODGroup/LOD1"
"LODGroup/LOD2"
"LODGroup/LOD3"

and

"UCX_LOD0_0"
"UCX_LOD0_1"
"UCX_LOD0_2"

for convex collision shapes where the number at the end corresponds to segment attribute from convex decomposition SOP.
You can put a primitive wrangle after it and put

@name = "UCX_LOD0_" + itoa(i@segment);

During save don't for to toggle "Build Hierarchy from Path Attribute" in the rop_fbx and change standard "path" to "name".
When importing in unreal toggle "Import Mesh LODs" in the importing dialog (Mesh section).

Thanks for sharing!

Ex: Wedge 'viscosity' from 0.1 to 100, but having a 'ramp' that would drive the wedge to sample more around the min or max values accordingly.

add Float Ramp spare parameter to your Wedge TOP
let's say you call it "ramp"

then set your wedge attribute's Wedge Type to Value with expression like this:

chramp("ramp", @pdg_index / (ch("wedgecount") - 1), 0)

to be fully controlled by the ramp values (which can be 0.1~100)
or you can also keep your ramp values 0-1 and have expression like this:

fit01(chramp("ramp", @pdg_index / (ch("wedgecount") - 1), 0), .01, 100)

Hi. How do I add spare Float Ramp parameter on my Wedge TOP exactly? Thanks

see attached,
uses a vopnet

Works like a charm and works fast for dense geo! Thanks for sharing
Tip for anyone using this and finding it not working ("invalid data storage size for input value P" error message), delete detail attrib "P" if you have one

Super nice work, super thanks!

Solved this by adding a node "Import Geometry" into my TOP network, importing from SOP and saving to disk, then I added a file path parameter to my HDA and used it for File node inside the HDA and it worked.
Takeaway: either gotta save everything to file or input from previous node before using in HDA processor

Not sure if this is the way to go tho

Hi all, I am trying to make a multiple building generator with PDG. I am successfully generating buildings from a set of base shapes I have modeled. I am using geometry import for those, then for each box I do a HDA processor.
However my HDA has "Collision geometry" input (path to sop), to test if there is another building nearby to add windows or plain wall. I feed all my buildings' base shapes and it works OK in SOP level.
However this does not work on my HDA processor node.
I've read there should be a file cached for something like that but I just can't get it working. How would I do that? I am attaching an image of how I have it set-up. Thanks for any tips
