Designed for high fidelity game maps, infographics and cinematics, Germany Map HD provides beautiful, exacting detail for creatives, developers and mapping specialists alike.

📷 Usage Videos: Country Borders | National Material | Illuminated Overlay Texture | Adjustable Contours | Height Gradient | Pulsing | Stylization

Features

- Detailed Nanite terrain with ~27 million polygons [static meshes optimized from over 800 million].

- High quality texture, ~40,000 pixels from north to south and ~30,000 pixels from east to west at 30m per pixel resolution.

- Separate from the terrain, each state on the map has a fill {flat), outline and label mesh.

- Geometry can be scaled up for use with Georeferencing plugin if desired.

- This map can be used with Earth World Map

- Country borders, internal borders, roads, railroads can have their;

• thickness adjusted
• thickness pulse as an animation
• continuity altered to have dashed lines animate along them

- Place models using long coordinates using the built lat long actor placement Blueprint.

- Simple animated flag

- Lighting setup uses rec lights and Unreal Engine sun and atmosphere.

- Simple mesh managers for populated locations, populated location labels, airports and ports so you can change the mesh and materials for these to a different geo-pin in the project or a custom mesh.

- Please note, Nanite is used for the terrain meshes, but not for the other geometry in the scene.
