TRAILER (landscape materials from this trailer are not included in this pack)

All my REAL-WORLD heightmaps/terrains, including this one, are UNIQUE on Unreal Engine Marketplace because:

1. I use real-world data with the best possible resolution (most of the cases 1 meter horizontal precision and about 30 cm vertical precision). Resolutions higher than this are not possible because of the current technological limits.
2. I am the only one who's real-world heightmaps PRESERVE the real-world SCALE
3. My real-world heightmaps are not procedurally generated in some kind of software like World Machine or Gaea where a heightmap can be generated in minutes. Instead, I use pretty complex manual methods to transform the High Resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) into heightmaps which are in the end perfect copies of real terrains/landscapes. Because of this, creating a single real-world heightmaps can take up to 3 hours.
4. My real-world heightmaps are the only heightmaps from UE Marketplace which simultaneously respect all the above statements.

This pack contains 150 real world PNG heightmaps (57 from Norway and 93 from Scotland). The heightmaps have a 8129 x 8129 (8k) resolution and they are created from Digital Elevation Models with 1 meters and 0.5 meters precision. The Scottish landscapes generated with the heightmaps from this pack will have a surface area of about 25 square Km and the Norway landscapes will have a surface area of about 64 square km. This pack is for everyone who wants to create beautiful and realistic hills/mountains/lakes/plains landscapes in Unreal Engine. Especially the Scotland landscapes are full of man made infrastructure modifications such as roads, villages, towns etc. The heightmaps (landscapes) are perfect for photorealistic scenes in games, movies, trailers.

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 Scotland1_XY_61_Z_24 , the X and Y scale is 61 and Z scale is 24. 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...

This pack contains 6 Demo Maps. (3 with Norway landscapes and 3 with Scotland landscapes)
