Learn how to make a procedurally generated buildings that look real with the extra detail added by randomization and repetition of elements and with automatic decal placement for extra realistic look and feel. Control the size and the appearance of each building separately by entering the custom variables in your generation blueprint.

This will be the first part of series dedicated to creating PCG buildings with the Quixel Megascans assets for modular building generation.

I'm using the Neo Baroque Pack 2 for this example but I will show in later part of the series how to adapt to another set.

This series will give you deep understanding how to use and combine different PCG nodes in Unreal engine 5 to create stunning visuals for your games and virtual sets.

This video was beyond helpful, thank you for taking the time to guide others trough the PCG system. However, I feel like it would be a lot easier to follow along if you'd give all the values you reuse specific names instead of copy pasting the nodes multiple times. It was difficult for me personally to follow along when multiple nodes where being copied all over the place. Defining them under a name or even using a comment would really elevate your content to the next level, thank you again for taking the time to create this video.

Great tutorial! A life savor for the project I'm working on. However I encountered errors from Get Actor Property, which states "Fail to extract the property on actor BP_Building". How can I fix it?
