In this video, you will see several of the procedural tools in Dash and how to use them together to create complex procedural setups in UE5. This bridge is only one out of many examples possible with the easy-to-use scatter tools and the procedural mesh tools in Dash!

Of course, this procedural bridge could be created with PCG as well, but with Dash, we believe we have made it much simpler, with no need to set up any complex node systems.

As Dash is all about making it easier and faster to create environments in Unreal Engine 5, we thought we would challenge ourselves and see what we could create in only 30 minutes. This timelapse shows the full creation process including the final camera settings and animations in 2x speed.

We hope this inspires UE5 users out there to try Dash, (for free of course), and see how much it can help your workflows. If you are struggling with anything special in UE5, let us know and maybe we can build a tool for it in Dash!

In this video, Tamas compares how long it takes to import an asset manually in Unreal Engine 5 versus how long it takes to import it when using the Dash Content Browser.

Poly Haven is among the first asset libraries to be included in Dash but we also have a similar integration with Megascans and the IES Library already and rest assured more libraries are on the way! The idea with Dash is that you should be able to search for and easily use the assets you need in any project imaginable.

You can of course try the Dash Content Library and all the other features and tools in Dash for free, you can download it now from: https://www.polygonflow.io/

One important tool in Dash is Decal Scatter, which can together with other tools in Dash really help your workflow in Unreal Engine 5. In this video, Jonathan goes over how you can easily scatter decals to break up repetition or add important details in UE5.

Of course, Decal Scatter includes many similar settings to the other tools in Dash, such as scaling, proximity, and masking. Since it's a procedural tool, the decals adjust automatically to changes to the surfaces they are scattered on top of.

The Cable Tool is one of many tools in Dash that helps you create environments in Unreal Engine 5 easier than ever. In this video, Jonathan goes over how you can easily create a procedural cable and then use all the convenient settings in the Cable Tool to customize it to your liking. The settings include radius, gravity, the different modes, and much more. As it is procedural, the cables will adjust when you make changes in the scene, giving you a non-destructive workflow.
