Vast digital worlds don\u2019t just appear out of thin air. Behind the mountains, valleys, forests and seemingly randomly scattered details lie vast amounts of data, rules and, ideally, a workflow that takes as much of the work off your hands as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we combine various tools and techniques for our real-time 3D worlds in Unreal Engine. We\u2019ll show you, step by step, how this results in a vast landscape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the terrain \u2026<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It all starts with the terrain. Using Gaea, Photoshop and Unreal Engine, we use terrain data to create a landscape which can then be further edited within the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just about creating a few attractive mountains. Heightmaps, different data layers and the correct preparation of the terrain lay the technical foundations for everything that is to take place there later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
