Procedural Content Generation UE 5.2 - In-Depth Overview & Building Forest Environment PART 2

------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2 of my tutorial series on the Procedural Content Generation Framework in Unreal Engine 5.2. We will learn how to sample landscape layers and use this information in the PCG framework to dynamically spawn assets on these points utilizing the point filter node. We will explore a new debugging technique and lots of different PCG graph setups. We will then go into detail on how to setup a forest environment entirely with PCGs, starting from a grassland biome, a denser forest and finally some procedural slopes with foliage growing in-between the rocks.

In the next part we will learn about the creation of water bodies with foliage scattered around it, procedural path ways through the forest and another mesh sampling based asset - a dead tree with vines and moss growing from it.
