Description

TRAILER (landscape material from the trailer is not included)

This pack contains 157 real-world PNG greyscale heightmaps which will help you digitally recreate amazing landscapes from the Arctic region (Queen Elizabeth Islands). 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 . The heightmaps (landscapes) are perfect for snowy photorealistic scenes in games, movies or any other realistic open – world 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 Arctic152_XY_200_Z_209 , the X and Y scale is 200 and Z scale is 209. 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…
