Reference and Idea Summary

This is a Technical showcase of unreal PCG tool. I want to make a procedural set dressing tool that will randomly generate different props of different size and shape in a realistic way

Setup the Table

Create empty Actor blueprint and PCG blue print in Content Drawer and rename them

I placed 5 trigger boxes, they will be the marking for item spawning

Tabulam

mesh sampling the table and use normal to density to get only the top surface point.

Tag each of the trigger boxes from the table blueprint and volume sample them

using the intersection note so the points only appear inside the trigger box

spawning the actor on the points

Repeat this process for each type of props, for this case because I have four different props, so I made 4 copys of the same PCG note

Final result

Sub Tabula

I want to add some carpet under the table and more details around the shop to look more realistic

So by using intersection note between the landscape the trigger box I was able the spawn point under the table

Finally I added some decorations around the table

this will randomize the location of the frame

this randomize the color of the cloth

Finished

Complete PCG Graph

The hawker's shop is now complete and looks realistic. It can alter the amount of spice, bags, basket of fruits, and location of individual items.
