Today, we start a new series of videos on using Unreal Engine's PCG system to create environments procedurally. In this introduction video, we talk about what PCG is and why you should use it. Then we use the system to place some simple assets in the environment. In the videos that follow, we'll go in depth and cover all sorts of topics - but today we just cover the basics.
