NEW TRAILER

OLD TRAILER (landscape materials not included in this pack)

This pack contains 158 real world heightmaps which will help you digitally recreate breathtaking landscapes from Canada (British Columbia Province). All heightmaps have a resolution of 4033 x 4033 (recommended by Unreal) and each landscape will have a surface area of 16 square Km. To recreate these landscapes I used Digital Elevation Models with 1 m precision so they are as accurate as possible with nowadays technology. Actually the landscapes are so accurate that you will be able to clearly see not only the roads, lakes or rivers, but also the manmade footpaths or even the animal trails from the wildness. The heightmaps (landscapes) are perfect for photorealistic scenes in games, movies.


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 Canada_141_XY_100_Z_229 , the X and Y scale is 100 and Z scale is 229. 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 8 Demo Maps.
