what's up guys, welcome to a new Unreal Engine 5 tutorial. Today, I'm going to show you how to make a really cool and simple road system using the spline layer system from the landscape. It's going to be a very easy video to follow and fast, so let's get started. Alright, so first of all, let's go ahead and get a simple road model that we can use. In my case, I have found this really cool modern sketchfab model, which is completely free, and I will be leaving the link in the description so you can go ahead and load it. Now, we will be modifying it on Blender, but if you want to skip this part and you're not very good with Blender or whatever, I will be leaving a link so you can download the modified version of the model in the description, so you can basically skip into the time they're using on here and the screen, so you can skip this part. Okay, alright, so just go ahead and load the 3D model and just load the FBX. Just go ahead and

extract it into the folder. Let's go into source, and then you can see that we out there. They basically the road model. So now we have to open Blender to modify it. So once you have Blender opened, we're going to go ahead and just delete all this, and then let's go to File, Import, FBX. I'm gonna find the road. I'm gonna go into source and get the FBX loaded in, and you can see that we have the road appearing in here. And the reason that we are modifying it is that because it is too long. Then our curves will not have so much, um, basically space to bend, and it will just look very, very, very bad. So we have to make this shorter. So let's go and press Tab to go into the, um, into the edit mode. And then what we're going to do is just, um, hit Ctrl R, and then this line will appear. Click it, and then another line will appear. And basically, we're going to use this to basically cut it. So we're going to go just into around here, so when you

see uh the one the first um section. I'm gonna go into the second section and just around here, just press it, and then it will create a loop cut over here. So now what we can do is select um all these vertices that are right now on here, press X, and then press vertices, and we'll basically delete all that part of the road. And we'll do the same with the other part. Ctrl R, we go press it, and then we can use so one and two. So over here, we're gonna cut it, select all these vertices, X, and vertices, and then make sure you always delete everything. We go, and now we only have a short section on a road model, so that's really cool. So now what we have to do is go into edit mode, press A, and then we have to go into UV editing because the UAV editing will set up to the old um model. So now we have to modify it, okay? So in order to do this, what we have to do is go into view, align view, sorry, in viewport, and just go

into top now just hold alt and um just press the middle Mouse button and then you can go ahead and just move it and to be positioned with forward looking like this. So now what we're going to do is press U and then project from View and then this will appear on here with the new UVS. You select everything and just go into the scale and then in select in the outer sphere just make it much bigger, kind of like this, nearly tucking touching the borders. All right, now I can go back into the layout and you can see that we have our abroad over here, really cool. But there's something that I want to change and it's the sides. I want them to be uh going down. Let's go back into the edit mode and you select all these vertices and we can just uh with G basically move them. Okay, so it's a bit hard to kind of make it look better. So what I I would do is just directly delete this Parts over here and now we can use select the this point and this

point control and just with G kind of move it and now it looks a bit better and I'm gonna put this over here so it's a bit smoother and I'll do exactly the same with the other side so X vertices I mean this is just if you wanted uh to look much better so you like this um actually gonna delete that and also delete that and delete that and then I just get this okay I'll move it like this and then if you press e you can extrude so we cannot go ahead and match what we had on the other side I know it's not exact um but it will do the trick uh right now okay okay so once we have our road um We are gonna press a and sorry I'm gonna go back into the UV editing and just press U right from view again and just do update the things the changes that we did uh now we can go back to layout and using the object mode selected and now we can export it so just go in file export as an fbx just

find a place you want to export it. Uh, rename it into Road spline or whatever you want. And then up here, we're gonna use uh, limited to the selected updates. And now we can use export it as a fbx with all that settings. It's default. And like I mentioned before, you can just load the model in the description. Okay, so now let's hop back into Unreal Engine and let's just go ahead into file, new level. I'm just going to create a new basic one or you can use the library you want. And what I'm going to do is just import these uh, Road. Just drag it into Unreal Engine. And now you just press import all with the default settings. This is a warning for these within groups. I doesn't matter. And there we go, we have our road over here um, as we did it from blender. It's really cool. Okay, so now what we're going to do is go ahead and create a simple landscape. Of course, if you already have a landscape where it is okay, but I'm just going to

delete this floor. Let's go into landscape, and then you have to make sure that you have enable edit layers ticked. This is just because we're going to be using different layers for these blinds, so make sure that's checked. You can just create it, and if you really have the last cake ready, just select it and just search for edits, and you can just enable it there. But okay, let's go back into landscape mode, and now we're gonna go into manage. Now you can see that we have a layer here, which is the default one. Well, right-clicking it, great. And then this is going to be a new one, which is going to be the road roads. And then just right-click it, I'm gonna reserve it for splines only, and I'm gonna click yes. So we only can use this layer for splines. It was just a bit more convenient for the use that we're gonna do it. So now what we can do is just go up here and select these planes too.

and we are just gonna find an area that we have to do is just hold Ctrl and then left click, and now a new point will appear. And now we can just find another point, hold Ctrl and left click, and now here we go, we are forming a road. You start, go ahead and placing more splines, as you can see, to make it as how you like. In my case, kind of like this, really, really cool. You can see their splines are forming, and there's already a kind of road looking like this. Of course, now we have to do some changes to it, but as you can see, you can select different points and then change the height or whatever, and it's rain or basically align in its to its needs. So it just a bit more convenient and much better for, well, the things that we're going to be using it, and it's really, really cool because you can create really fast and really cool looking levels with it. So now we have to place a road, so don't worry, I will be also leaving a link on the description.

so you can unload the model that I modeled um for the road uh so you're having troubles of blender. You know, you can go ahead and just download it. So now you select uh the one of the mountains on the uh spline. Go onto here into segments. So it will basically select all of the spline system. And now we can go down into spline meshes. We can now add one and then you drag in or Row the splines. And there we go. We can see that already um the well there's meshes being applied on our system. Now of course it looks very bad because it's um you know overlapping with the ground and it is too big for some curves. Okay so to you know fix this what we can do just go into here in the center. I just and in the Y access is placed for example a 10. So it will just go up and lift it. And now to make it a bit smaller what we can do is go into scale in the x-axis and just put 8.3 for example.

now it will start looking much, much more better. Um, now I think that we have to do now is just apply a road material into our spline. So I'll be using this quick, so I'll just go into window pixel Bridge. So when it opens, just go ahead into the search bar and use search for American road. You can see that we have some cool roads. So I'm gonna use um this road over here, which is to use the fine American Road. Let's go ahead inside the quality that you want, download it, and then just press add, and it will be added into your project. So when it's downloaded, you'll go into Mexican surfaces, and you can see that we have the material on here. So now we can use just open the um mesh that we have before, change the material to use the road from the American. We go save it, and now you can see that we have the material being applied on our road. It's really looking really, really cool. So if we were to go ahead and play the game over here, you

will see how cool it looks, and we can play. It has all the Collision set up basically, and yeah, you know I don't have a vehicle. You can start going ahead and driving on your game. Really cool, see guys, if you found this tutorial useful and helpful. I would really appreciate it if you like the video and subscribe.
