The Plates Creek

Features

• High-quality, 4096×4096 photogrammetry-based surfaces, most come in two variations which can be combined at runtime.
• A variety of photogrammetry-based meshes: rocks, boulders, cliffs, 3 large beach woods, 16 sea shells, 24 small pebbles.
•  4 large rock pile meshes (+ variations) to create 2 types of chaotic rock fields.
•  2 large-scale, detailed boulders with full texture sets.
• 3-layer landscape material in two variations (quality or performance) with an optimized Parallax Occlusion Mapping pebble layer for smooth relief rendering.
• 2 spherical sky textures at 8192×8192.
• Plate and cliff module materials enable mixing of surface variations, can be used to alternate variations of a same surface to bring variety or break tiling, or to smoothly transition from one surface to the other.
• Modular materials with many utility functions. Usage of material instances and instances of instances for specialization.
• Materials support distance-modulated tesselation and texture tiling for the material to look different when seen from close or far distance.
• Some materials support sand vertex painting (R channel) to smoothly blend rocks with the landscape.
• Two maps: Demo and Overview.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Meshes have collisions and LOD generated by UE.
• Materials require Shader Model 5.
• Roughness/AO/Height maps are packed inside a single texture per texture set.
• Many textures are 4096×4096. Those representing small objects or smooth surfaces are generally 2048×2048.
• Most textures are square but some are rectangular (size always power of 2).
• Supported from UE 4.18 to 4.20.
