NEW TRAILER
OLD TRAILER (landscape materials from the trailers are not included in this pack)
This pack contains 160 PNG Real World Heightmaps, created from real world data - Digital Elevation Models with 1 meter precision - which will help you create in Unreal Engine, in less than 1 minute, real world landscapes from Norway. There are 81 - 15 by 15 Km (225 square Km) heightmaps, 76 - 8 by 8 Km (64 square Km) and 3 - 4 by 4 Km (16 square Km). With this pack you can recreate 23137 square km Norwegian landscapes. All heightmaps have 4033 X 4033 resolution (recommended by Epic) and they are as accurate as you can get with nowadays technology. 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 Norway12_XY_372_Z_230 , the X and Y scale is 372 and Z scale is 230. 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 6 Demo Maps.
