Description
This bundle contains 5 packs:
Purchasing this pack, you get about 100 dollars discount (about 33%) from the real price. With this pack, you will get more than 720 real-world heightmaps, created from DEMs (Digital Elevation Models with 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, 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, 256 square km, 400 square km and even 6400 square km. So this bundle is perfect for both small projects and for open-world huge projects.
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.

Landscape auto-materials from the above trailers are not included in this pack. If you want very high quality and smart auto-materials, please check my other packs and you can find there at least 20 landscape auto-materials which can be used with any of the heightmaps from this bundle.
Step By Step instructions of how to integrate the heightmaps into your level:
1. Install the FREE plugin “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 or ILIAD Actions – Export
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_Arctic2_XY_200_Z_186 , the X and Y scale is 200 and Z scale is 186. 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…
