NEW TRAILER

OLD TRAILER (landscape materials are not included in this pack)

This pack contains 226 heightmaps which will help you create real world landscapes from Alaska. 164 heightmaps have a 4033 X 4033 resolution and each can be used to create 400 square km landscape, while 62 Heightmaps have a 2017 X 2017 resolution and can be used to create 100 square km landscapes. The heightmaps are created from Digital Elevation Models with 5 meters precision. This pack is also a mixture between real world heightmaps (118) and modified real world heightmaps (108). The modified heightmaps are Alaska original heightmaps, enhanced with small details in such a way that the overall shape of the landscape remains about the same.

The heightmaps can be used for creating realistic landscapes in games, movies, cinematic trailers etc.

Step By Step instructions of how to integrate the heightmaps into your level:

1. Install one of the FREE plugins: "Export PNG" or "ILIAD"

2. Select in the Content Browser the PNG heightmap you want to use in your project

3. Right click on the selected PNG texture (heightmap) and select Asset Actions - Export (or ILIAD Actions - Export, in case you are using ILIAD)

4. Save the PNG heightmap to your hard disk (keep the same PNG format)

5. Open the map you want to import the heightmap into and select Landscape Mode

6. Choose option Import from file and select the previously exported PNG file

7. In order to keep the exact proportions of the real landscape, in the name of every heightmap you can find the X, Y and Z scales for that heightmap. For example, in the filename Alaska_1a_XY_500_Z_194 , the X and Y scale is 500 and Z scale is 194. So type the correct XYZ scales and then press Import to import the heightmap into your level.

8. Done! In a few seconds you should see the landscape...

This pack contains 5 Demo Maps.
