Create Map of world?

[chrisjudd]

Is there an easy way to create a map of your world in UE?

[jwatte]

“your world” meaning what, exactly?
What input data do you have available?
You can import height map data (such as satellite DEMs or whatnot) and color data.
You can also just build something from scratch using painting and/or placement tools.

I have a tiled landscape and I know I can view the top down of that but wasnt sure if there was a way to get a nice map generated

With C++ you can use ExportMaterial function inside MaterialUtilities.h file. Landscape uses that to generate LOD levels’ textures. Not sure if you can access those baked down textures, haven’t worked with tiled landscapes for a while. The necessary function isn’t exposed to blueprints unfortunately.

Unfortunately I am using blueprints too
