GIS Importer enables direct import of geospatial data into Unreal Engine for visualization, simulation, and analysis.

Documentation | Demo Video

Supported Formats

• GeoTIFF (.tif, .tiff): Raster data, elevation datasets, and imagery.

• GeoJSON (.geojson, .json): Vector data (Points, Lines, Polygons).

• Shapefile (.shp): Esri vector layers and attribute tables.

Key Features

• GeoTIFF Import: Load rasters as a Textured Plane (unlit material quad) or a Heightmap Mesh (3D terrain grid).

• GeoJSON & Shapefile Import: Convert GIS vector geometry types seamlessly into Unreal representations.

• Attribute Table Import: Read and retain complete GIS metadata/properties.

• GeoReferencing Integration: Full support for UE's native GeoReferencing plugin to maintain real-world spatial coordinates.

Workflow

1. Ensure a GeoReferencingSystem actor exists in your level.

2. Import your GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, or Shapefile data.

3. Utilize the processed data directly within your custom tools or Blueprints.

Use Cases

• Geospatial data visualization & simulation systems.

• Virtual environment prototyping.

• Pipeline integration for GIS pipelines.
