TS UE Islands Pack 2 - Isles

This pack contains 16 high-quality realistic terrains in island shapes.

The islands are a wide variety of complex isles that are two kilometers in size.

Each landscape is using a five-layer RGBAK Splatmap Material that provides superior terrain texturing compared to auto-materials. The RGBAK Splatmap Material is higher resolution than the Landscape heightmap (2048 Weightmap/Splatmap versus 2017 Landscape). Two different Splatmaps are provided with differing beach edge sharpness.

This pack also includes a 3-layer AutoMaterial.

Plus an example Grass in the Splatmap materials.

Each two kilometer landscape can be scaled up to 200% to give a four kilometer island with very little loss in visual quality.

Each map is set to dynamic lighting for smaller download size and less memory consumption during loading.

To change any map to static lighting, change the Directional Light to Stationary, and disable (uncheck) the World Settings.Lightmass.Force No Precomputed Lighting option.

Any landscape can be sculpted in Unreal Engine, exported, and re-splatted using TerreSculptor 2.0.

If you need to re-splat this heightmap, such as after sculpting it, simply do the following:

Export the heightmap from the Landscape actor, resample the heightmap to 2048x2048, re-extract the weightmaps, re-create the splatmap, re-import the splatmap into the engine assets and assign it to the material instance.

This pack also contains the original source 2048 heightmaps in RGB24 format so that different weightmaps can be created. Note that RGB24 heightmap format is required since Unreal Engine cannot currently work with 16-bit grayscale textures.

Notes:

This pack provides realistic landscapes that can be used in your game or visualization projects.

The landscapes do not contain buildings or other game or visualization assets.

There are significantly more terrain textures than what is seen in the example preview images.

This pack contains a basic ocean shader material and ocean mesh that can be used or swapped out for other content.
