📖 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS

How to turn a bumpy ball into a real-looking planet — layered noise, continental masking, and biome blending all on a sphere in Unreal Engine 5.
I break down the noise system that gives APlanetSimple its structure: how a single continental layer controls where mountains exist, and how biome weights drive seamless grass, rock, snow, and water blending from vertex colors alone.
✓ Noise layers — stack Perlin, Simplex, Ridged, and Cellular like Photoshop layers
✓ Continental masking — Layer 0 controls where mountains are allowed to form
✓ Smoothstep transitions — no hard edges between plains and peaks
✓ Biome blending — height-driven RGBA vertex colors for grass, rock, snow, water
✓ Three built-in presets — HighDetail, Smooth, and Mountains
✓ Custom layer workflow — tune frequency, amplitude, octaves per layer
✓ Full pipeline — noise → height map → biome weights → vertex color → material
