NEW TRAILER

OLD TRAILER (landscape materials 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 226 heightmaps which will help you create real world landscapes from Alaska. 164 heightmaps have a 4033 X 4033 resolution and each can be used to create 400 square km landscape, while 62 Heightmaps have a 2017 X 2017 resolution and can be used to create 100 square km landscapes. The heightmaps are created from Digital Elevation Models with 5 meters precision. This pack is also a mixture between real world heightmaps (118) and modified real world heightmaps (108). The modified heightmaps are Alaska original heightmaps, enhanced with small details in such a way that the overall shape of the landscape remains about the same.

The heightmaps can be used for creating realistic landscapes in games, movies, cinematic trailers etc.


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 Alaska_1a_XY_500_Z_194 , the X and Y scale is 500 and Z scale is 194. 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 5 Demo Maps.
