Ultra-realistic PCG Biome with Nanite foliage, wind FX & drag-and-drop setup.
This is by far the best trees I've seen and use, the wind system is so photoreal! One thing I would love in the future is to be able to use it as foliage and place them specifically. Thanks! Looking forward for more assets you create :)
Brilliant level maker! But I can't find the PCG_Biomes_Partitioned blueprint, I wonder if it's lost during the updates activation?
Apart from some very minor issues, brush movement sounds activating multiple times and in other levels with no vegetation (can easily turn off and add to your own player footstep system), and some minor dickyness with small removal splines (may simply need some documentation to fix), the package is great. Instant river/swamps – looks great, runs well for the quality on offer (using 4070ti) getting 60+ on a 500 square metre swamp map using Ultra Dynamic Sky, 120+ quality with DLSS3 FG. This is how all UE5.3+ vegetation assets should come: build your map, place PCG, and correct minor issues/polish. The PCG itself is done very well – it can be very hard to make them this performant at scale (high-end system only really though). Make more vegetation PCGs and I will probably buy them. Recommended.
1 quick question: is it possible to use the touch bending on other non-related vegetation assets? Would be preferable to only add 1 touch bending system to my character for simplicity's sake, and this system works good.
The best PCG product on the market! Perfect for your project, it works perfectly for me and if you have a problem you get help very quickly and extensively! This is what I would like to expect from other providers. The look and performance are fantastic.
Best Biome I have seen on the market!! Fantastic quality.
super awesome biome that competes in quality with much higher priced assets. very responsive dev and active discord. highly recommended!
This pack is just amazing (as I already mentioned in my Poplar Biome review^^), I love all the details and variations! I however have one request that would make this asset even more amazing, but I don't know if it is possible or it would be too time-consuming: There are these cool wood constructions and I assume that they are kitbashed together from scanned planks, it would be awesome to either include the single pieces in this pack, so we can build our own structures or release a separate pack with them. If this is not possible for whatever reason, this pack still slaps :D In that case I might take the time to disassemble them myself. Cheers!
The degree of realism and complexity of the wind on trees and grass is simply the best I've seen in the UE marketplace. Just outstanding AAA quality. Please continue to allow the wind speed to go up to 20 (or maybe even... a little more? ;-) -- I'm combining this with some intense storm effects, and it really looks amazing. I am looking forward to your future PCG biome packs, and will be getting them for sure. Keep up the great work!
The realism of this package is astounding. The wind is hyper-realistic on all of the foliage and water, and the PCG setup is clean and fast even on massive landscapes.
One of the most realistic pack I bought, very high quality!
Awesome pack, if u want to work on any wetland natural environment this is essential.
Just Awesome ! Five stars. I was wondering if we can remove the water plane in order to affect landscape only with foliage ?
This is one of the best PCG mods out there. The devs are very quick to help also. My only suggestion would be to make a decent video on how the user can customize the content. Other than that 5 stars all the way. Fully recommend.
Worth every penny. One of best looking packs on the marketplace and an amazing tool.
Apart from some very minor issues, brush movement sounds activating multiple times and in other levels with no vegetation (Can easily turn off and add to your own player footstep system) and some minor dickyness with small removal splines, (may simply need some documentation to fix) the package is great.
I just wish it came with some documentation. I had a little issue with all the sounds playing at once when the player moves, but it was an easy fix, to be fair. Documentation on how to integrate the asset pack into your own project would be nice though, but it doesn't take away from the 5 stars.
help peoples design a large landscape fast :)
A fantastic looking level with a perfectly systematic hierarchy. I got the basics down within the first few minutes. I can highly recommend this even for beginners, very easy to use it. I would say one of the BEST PCG projects on marketplace.
A great looking demo level to help guide and with easy to follow blueprints. Thank you.
Excellent functional asset with notable variety and clean graphics and style, efficient, excellent support on Discord but now please also add stones, flowers and tall trees to complete the line by levels of the Biome. Thank you very much for listening to user requests! ;)
I will highly recommend this who is going after realism. Please author make a simple video how to combine poplar tree system into this. and please bring this house or building project I will buy definitely and of course others will buy too. Thanks again author and have a nice day :)
Best PCG biome on Marketplace until this point with high quality foliage included!
Amazing product, and amazing support from a super cool team. Thank you guys, looking forward to new biomes!
Hello. Thank you very much for such a wonderful asset, I dreamed of such a thing. Quality and support at the highest level. Thank you guys very cool. I recommend this asset to everyone. It costs more.
Created a whole landscape in minutes with the PCG eliminating a lot of the hand placements, was very quick to reply via discord with any questions.
Highly recommend buying this pack! Great support, from the creator if you have any questions and will walk with you step by step!
The downloadable demo is great and the options menu is clearly laid out and very useful. The whole biome makes a successful and coherent impression. The wind animation of the leaves is even better than in the "Poplar Tree Biome" and looks very realistic. Top!
This is by far the best trees I've seen and used, the wind system is so photoreal! One thing I would love in the future is to be able to use it as foliage and place them specifically. Thanks! Looking forward for more assets you create :)
I just bought this a couple hours ago and I really have to say, this is incredibly easy to implement and use in your projects. I'm still figuring out some tweaks and tricks, doing some fine tuning etc. I can really recommend this one.
This asset is very complete and easy to use. It comes with an easy to use PCG biome setup, interactions with the foliage, sounds, wind etc. AND it looks great! This combination is not easy to find on the marketplace and definitely not for this price point. For this price you will be lucky to find either a good PCG tool OR a vegetation pack that looks that good and then you still have to integrate both yourself. If you want a good looking forest in no time then look no further - get this asset.
This is an amazing continuation of their older environment asset and I can't wait to also get their Rivers biome too!! 5/5 for this amazing work, as well as for such a friendly and nice developer!
The best PCG product on the market! Perfect for your project, it works perfectly for me and if you have a problem you get help very quickly and extensively! This is what I would like to expect from other providers. The look and performance are fantastic.
Waiting for another stuff.
As always, the project is completed at the highest level of AAA quality, I'm impressed. Thank you very much to the author, I look forward to your other works.
I am super impressed with both packs and very nice and put together. The wind system is the best I've seen on the market. I am already making an environment for my project and using both of the packs and I am sure will be superb. Cheers.
If anyone is looking for a realistic forest then this is it. I will highly suggest it because of the product itself and the developer is very friendly and active. :) Good luck with your next project. I will be patiently waiting for the new tree update as promised.
Really high quality assets, presentation and support 5/5.
The people at Defect are top notch biome assets producers :) I buy all their things and never regret it!!!
Super awesome biome that competes in quality with much higher priced assets. Very responsive dev and active discord. Highly recommended!
I fell in love with the original Poplar trees biome by defect, and I was sad when I saw it wasn't going to be supported anymore, or that it wasn't compatible with the new packs that were being made.
The downloadable demo is great and very useful. The whole biome makes a successful and coherent impression. The wind animation of the leaves is even better than in the old "Poplar Tree Biome" and looks very realistic. Top!
The level of realism is brilliant. Well designed, maintains framerate, everything looks, sounds, and interacts in a natural way, so there is no break in the player immersive experience.
One of the most advanced wind systems that I've seen in the domain for simulation. The creator is very responsive and friendly. Support is 10/10. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
I have been searching for assets depicting the natural environment of Eastern Europe, which is also related to an animation project I am working on. This asset feels like a gift from heaven; it is so beautiful and almost identical to the photos I've seen of Eastern Europe. It also fits with the same wind system as megascans. Additionally, I want to thank the author for accommodating some of my personal needs.
This is such a nice addition to the river biome and works perfectly together! I would love to see more of these kinds of assets in the future, especially spruce and pine trees, and other European-style environments of the same quality. And the price is pretty cheap, perfect for indies, feels almost like pirating the asset... Come on guys we can do it, only 9 reviews remaining ;D
