Purchasing this pack, you get a 100 dollars discount (about 33%) from the original price. With this pack, you will get more than 840 real-world heightmaps, created from DEMs (Digital Elevation Models with very high precision). If you need realistic looking terrains/landscapes, this pack is the best you can get because it offers almost perfect copies of real terrains. Here you can find everything you need from mountains landscapes to lowlands, hills, real-world rivers, real-world lakes. The precision is so high that you can even see man made footpaths, roads etc. The size of the real-world landscape vary from 16 square km to 64 square km, 100 square km, 225 square km and even 400 square km terrains. This bundle is perfect for every type of project which involves outdoor realistic environments.
The setup is also very simple and all you have to do is to simply load the heightmaps into the Unreal Engine landscape system and before importing, type the correct XY and Z scales which can be found in the name of every heightmap/landscape from this pack (it is as simple as that, so you do not need third party plugins, software or accounts). In less than 10 clicks, with this pack, you can import a perfect copy of a real-world terrain into your project.

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 T_USA33_XY_248_Z_86 , the X and Y scale is 248 and Z scale is 86. 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…
