Hello,

We can’t share any information about Epic sales, we are invited to. But we have sales from time to time. If you can wait, and it’s important to you, I would wait :) Bigger once have announcements on our social medias! ;)

Best,

Adam

Hello,

Thank you very much for your kind words!

You can use that level however you want. Of course if the level will not change much that would be nice you will not try to say it’s work done 100% by you ;) Beside that just have fun with our content! Great it fit to your demo.

Good luck with your project!

Best,

Adam

Should be! ;)

Hello,

Probably it’s open mesh. You can easily make group of rock + plane and place over the world. If You need it from both side, I would recommend make new Packed level actors and propagate over the world ;)

Best,

Adam

Hello,

Please check the documentation about physical surfaces. You should define it in your project settings and restart the editor. Or just unplug them in a player blueprint. Everything in the documentation :)

Best,

Adam

Yes, of course :) Even you should :)

Every information you can found in “Epic Content License Agreement”.

If you have any additional question, please feel free to write an e-mail: support@scansfactory.com

Best regards,

Michal

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. I was certain that I answered that question already. Probably I didn’t hit the button.

But as I am back again. You should check our level persistent blueprint. Probably at the start of our pawn, we force one of the scalability settings. You can just unplug this.

If any problem let us know here, at support@scansfactory.com on on our Discord channel :)

Best,

Adam

Sorry, I was trying to know what you need to know :) We never “special” prepare a package for path tracing because we didn’t know its requirements. We know on the other hand that some people tested our assets with path tracing successfully. But did they need to do some additional work? Unfortunately, I don’t know.

If you have some time would be great to describe what you expect from such a package. Any link to a good source of knowledge about that is appreciated. We will try to consider that in our pipeline.

Best,

Adam

What do you expect from a package that supports path tracing? :)

Best,

Adam

Scans Factory Team

Hello, we do not generate invoices. Please contact Epic Marketplace Stuff. They should help with it :)

Best,

Adam

As answered on Discord:

If you really need it from every side I would make one closed rock on scene based on original once -> then merge it in editor (RBM), save the pivot of original rock and then replace all rock you already used. Should be rather easy if you already have some setup to save.

Best,

Adam

Hi, we need to add this section to the documentation finally. The easiest way to delete the menu is to go to the level Blueprint, select all, and delete. After that, you need to change the streaming method of the light scenario (“Levels” window) by simply right-clicking “Change streaming method -> always loaded”.

If you have problems with this, write us an e-mail or contact us on Discord, and we will send you screenshots of how to do it.

Best,

Michal

We are doing it very rarely. We are trying to focus on developing new packages :)

But if you have some ground-solid offer please write to us at scansfactory@gmail.com.

Best,

Adam

Thank you for your kind words :) We are after UPDATE 2 of this pack and there is a nanite and lumen support for 5.1+

Everything is in the pack description :)

And about the second question – we don’t plan to change the demo level for World Partition. The demo level uses standard streaming methods.

Best,

Michal

Appreciate!

Today should be a demo of it on our discord. After that wider tests, I believe it could be live at a store this week :)

Best,

Adam

Hello,

We are very close to ending the new update with content and lumen+nanite :) We are just testing and improving performance :)

Thanks for the kind words!

Best,

Adam

As in our documentation river should have min. length to work. Please check it. If didn’t help please write to us at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

Hello,

For the fast answer, I would say trigger and the bats should be on same sublevel. Please check our demo map. Also in the trigger properties you should pick what particles should start working when overlapping. We will add this to the documentation soon.

If that does not work please ping me tomorrow when I will be at the office :) Best on our DISCORD

Best,

Adam

It’s a bit more complicated, unfortunately. 5.1 will be with nanite and lumen support. 5.0 will stay with the standard pipeline. We will fix the problem also with 5.0 for those who wanted stay with the standard lighting pipeline and migrate the project to 5.1 by yourself. Work to mention there is a big chance that Epic will fix that with 5.1.1 hotfixes also. We will see. It’s still not the full version of the engine.

For a few weeks, we are in the middle of the update process but I will try to figure out some solution for you. Probably I will send you a screen with modified material to work with 5.1. I hope it helps in your situation.

I will also publish that in our DISCORD if anyone will be interested.

Best,

Adam

Like the answer on discord:

Hello, probably it’s the same problem as with Cambodia temple. Epic change max texture samples. You can unplug some material functions and it should work :)

Ofc with the next nanite lumen update it will be fix by us :)

If you need support just let me know on DISCORD :)

Best,

Adam

Hello,

Thanks!

About demo-map size is hard to say. It’s full of detailed paths (like on a walkthrough). But for sure it’s not big as an open-world map. In editor fits into a box around 400x400m. I see no problems to expand it – high rocks and caves are pretty good to occlude and streaming levels :)

If you need more details please write to us at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

Hello,

Hard to say. We have a lot of problems with UE5.1 for now. Additionally, we want to make a bigger update to properly support Nanite and Lumen.

The first package will be Lost Temple Cave. We also working on Medieval Fantasy Ruins and urban packages.

Best,

Adam

It will but we want to do this in a proper way. Expect some remeshing, relighting, improvements, and changes. For example, because Unreal doesn’t support tesselation we added heigh field maps. But we aren’t happy with the results. With update, we want to delete this and remesh all grounds to have nanite, and lumen but in proper quality :)

Lumen still doesn’t support some features and we need to do this carefully to not destroy the original effect :) I hope we will handle it.

All changes will be for versions 5.0(small improvements) and 5.1(nanite, lumen). All previous versions will stay with the standard pipeline.

I hope it answers your question. If not please write to us at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

Probably you can try our vertex pain base material. But for better results on rocks and control over the effect, I would suggest make your own custom material for that.

Best,

Adam

Thanks! <3

I believe you can do this with help of our documentation(river material with flow) :)

If that will not be enough please write to us at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

In the next few days we should have a “stable” version of 5.1 with the standard pipeline and we will release it.

In the next few weeks, we should release a version that supports lumen and nanite. This release will replace the “stable 5.1” version. All support versions 4.25-5.0 will remain with the standard pipeline without lumen and nanite.

I hope that answers your question. Generally from version 5.1 we want to start using only Nanite and Lumen pipelines. By the end of the year, we want to adapt all our packages to this :)

If any questions let us know at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

We want to fix all problems that came up with 5.1 version. For now, we have some struggles with effects and translucent shaders. We hope we will handle it in the next few days.

Besides 5.1 should start changing our lighting and asset pipeline to nanite and lumen. I’m not sure you expect that change. If not I advise upgrading version 5.0 to 5.1 by yourself and migrating content to your project.

If any additional questions please write to us at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

Hello, Thanks for supporting us! <3

An update with a new lighting scenario is on the way. In the next 1-2 weeks should be available. Finger cross 🤞

Best,

Adam

Hello,

Probably removing all of the cull distance volumes will do the trick :)

If not please write to us at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

Hello,

A lot of customers ask about Nanite and Lumen and our answer is the same: when it will be ready, most people will use that and performance will be much closer to the standard pipeline. For now, it’s still not as popular as we wish for.

But to try and check the market a bit we are preparing something new! More info soon on our social media :)

And of course, we already tried this and our other packages with UE5, Lumen, and Nanite. Here are some of our results: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ZeVDlm

Also, Tom did a great job with our assets with UE5. You can check here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/wJqyv5

Adam

Hello, We thought about it but to be honest we are not convenient. We can’t properly take care of discord, unfortunately. Maybe in the future, but now we are trying to focus on making new packages :)

I hope it’s understandable. If You need support about our work please write at support@scansfactory.com

Best,

Adam

Sorry 4.24 was released at the end of 2019. This is a huge lap. We try to work on older versions of the engine but not that old.

To be honest, in the future we will be forced to move to even higer version of the engine to support new pipelines(Chaos, Niagara, Nanite, Lumen etc.). Probably next package we will start with 4.27 version. The industry so much wants Nanite and Lumen that we just will adapt our pipelines to higher and higher versions. Of course, we will have to stay with support versions for at least one year back. Probably we will also keep this policy with two separate builds – one with a standard pipeline and one with lumen/nanite. I hope near future will bring more answers :)

Best,

Adam

Scans Factory

Hello,

We just back from holidays. Sorry for late answer.

Generally, you don’t need any plugins except Virtual Heightfield Mesh plugin. And only If you want to simulate tesselation on UE5.

If you still have a problem with that please write to us at support@scansfactory.com with detailed description.

Best,

Adam

Scans Factory

Hello!

Thanks a lot! :)

If you asking about asset VolumetricFog_01 then we found out that on UE5 it generates problems when cooking. That asset was additional from previous packages and we didn’t use it on these maps. You can simply delete it.

With the next update, we will also probably just delete this asset from this package.

Best,

Adam

Thanks! :)

Of course, everything you saw on the walkthrough is included :) Bats have also a simple system to run out of fire guide – example here. You can easily set up it also to run out of fire torch :). In addition to that, the bats can also be set up for simple scary actions. You can also see it in the walkthrough video :) here

If any additional questions let us know! :)

Best,

Adam

Anyone has the same chance. There are no options on UE Marketplace to make individual discounts.

But don’t worry for sure there will be some sales on this package also. You can find some information on our FAQ

Best,

Adam

Hello

For sure content was not design for mobiles. It’s optimise pretty well but I wouldn’t recommend it for old or very week devices. On old Pc work I believe with about 30-40 FPS on very old GTX 770. If you need any more information please write to us at info@scansfactory.com

Best

Adam

To be honest I love our maps with top-view. It needs some improvements, adjustments and some camera system to hide meshes colliding with the camera but… don’t know what to say more :D Love it! :)

You can check this on this short UE5 demo we share on our social media: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XkFHBDoQfEwDZEIqPVf8cgVmn3kY9p8N/view?usp=sharing

Scans Factory

We hate ourselves for that! :D

We love your comments! <3 Thanks for supporting us! <3

About the question – we have our system for foliage. It’s simpler but very optimal at the same time. Foliage also bends with player movement :)

Thanks for the kind words! <3

Great idea with the demo – maybe we should do that!

Please write to us at info@scansfactory.com :)

Best,

Adam

Thanks a lot! <3

Yeah, we add a description right now. We do not use Nanite now because not full support masked materials etc. But we already tested it and it works great with Lumen :) If You are curious please write to us at info@scansfactory.com

Adam
