Using Real-World Heightmap Data in Unreal - Building Worlds In Unreal - Episode 15

In this video we take a look at three tools for finding and acquiring heightmap data from real-world sources. Instead of hand-painting height maps, the goal is to find height map data that represents real-world locations, and bring that into Unreal so that we get realistic-looking landscapes without all of the work of hand-sculpting them. #UnrealEngine #Landscape #Heightmap
