TRAILER (landscape material from this trailer not included)


This pack contains 160 real-world PNG greyscale heightmaps which will help you digitally recreate breathtaking landscapes from Russia - Siberia. All heightmaps have a resolution of 8129 x 8129 (recommended by Unreal) and each landscape will have a surface area of about 256 square Km. To recreate these landscapes I used Digital Elevation Models with 2 meters precision so they are extremely accurate . Actually the landscapes are so accurate that you will be able to clearly see the roads, lakes or rivers. The heightmaps (landscapes) are perfect for photorealistic scenes in games, movies or any other realistic open - world project.

IMPORTANT: The FREE plugin Export to PNG has not been updated yet to UE5, so you will not be able to export the heightmaps from UE5 with it. So for the moment, if you want to use the plugin Export PNG, you need to use any of the versions 4.21 - 4.27 to export the heightmaps and once exported, you can reimport them in any UE5 projects and everything works as it should. If you don't want to use the plugin Export to PNG, you can use the FREE plugin ILIAD, which works without any problem on UE5 and can also be found on Unreal Marketplace.


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 Siberia20_XY_200_Z_94 , the X and Y scale is 200 and Z scale is 94. 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...
