VIDEO OVERVIEW
VIDEO QUICK START
VIDEO SNOW ADJUSTMENTS
This pack is designed to help artists and game developers, procedurally create huge winter landscapes. It comes with landscape auto material, snow Niagara system, Mist/fog Niagara system, procedural foliage spawners for foliage and rocks and the pack also contains 8 heightmaps to easily create open world realistic landscapes, in just a few clicks. The heightmaps are 16 Bit, PNG textures which first have to be exported on your hard disk and later reimported in a Unreal Engine project, as a landscape. To export the heightmaps, you will have to use the FREE plugins ILIAD or EXPORT PNG. Both free plugins can be found on Unreal Marketplace.
The landscape auto material comes with 8 layers to help you manually paint mud, pebbles, dirt etc. All assets are very customizable, allowing the user to adjust different parameters from the material instances of the static meshes. The snow amount of the static meshes is also adjustable so if needed, you can cover the entire rocks with snow or for example remove all the snow from the trees.
The Snow and Mist effects are in fact components of the player so if you want to use your own character, all you have to do is to copy - paste the 2 components from my character into your character.
Everything is well optimized for huge landscapes (the example map of this pack is a 100 square km winter landscape)
This product supports Nanite for Unreal Engine 5.1+”
This product supports Lumen for versions 5.1 +. If You want to use the pack at it's full potential, I recommend using Lumen. In order to enable Lumen (if it is not already enabled) you should go to Project Settings/Engine/Rendering and make sure you have the following setup:
- Dynamic Global Illumination Method - LUMEN
- Reflection Method - LUMEN
- Shadow Map Method - Virtual Shadow Maps
