TRAILER (landscape materials from this trailer not included in this pack)
This pack contains 135 real-world heightmaps which will help you digitally recreate breathtaking landscapes from Island . All heightmaps have a resolution of 8129 x 8129 (recommended by Unreal) and each landscape will have a surface area of about 400 square Km. To recreate these landscapes I used Digital Elevation Models with 2 meters precision, so they are pretty accurate and you will be able to clearly see the roads, lakes, rivers, footpaths. The heightmaps (landscapes) are perfect for photorealistic scenes in games, movies or any open world projects.
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 Island_B2_XY_246_Z_166 , the X and Y scale is 246 and Z scale is 166. 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...
