This pack supports all of the latest features like Nanite, Lumen, Virtual texturing, World Partition and Procedural Content Generation.

PCG biome system offers control for rock and foliage layers, helping to create rocky, arctic planet surfaces. All of this is easily controlled with landscape layers making it easy to create diverse biomes tailored to your project’s unique aesthetic.

Jumpstart your project with a fully configured 16km² demo level, set up to take advantage of World Partition and a landscape with three different layers, distance based macro details, rock slope mask, virtual texturing and landscape grass support. Provided environment controller helps to control the time of day so you can create scenarios that fit your project. Water blueprints help to add more varied areas.

Foliage assets and materials are utilizing pivot painter data that allows to simulate multi layered wind and character interaction. Emissive layers will bring more details to life during night. You will also get a multi use, advanced rock material that makes it possible to control multiple layers, micro/macro details, color variations, automatic dirt formation etc. Distant planet material contains various layers for atmosphere, clouds, emissive layers, micro/macro maps and even water. This combined with the space material allows to easily add interesting night skies.
