Does anyone know anything about the upcoming "Next Generation Terrain"?

This topic has been on the roadmap for a few months now. I couldn’t find anything else on the internet. Does anyone know if this “next-gen” solution will finally allow for in-game landscape modification / sculpting / importing heightmaps?

I’ve been checking back on this fairly often and looking for more information, sadly still nothing other than what is on the card.

Nothing epic does is ever going to work.
This is a proven fact with tons of things they add to the engine that work only partially, not at all, or just cause issues.

As such, make your own system/tools so you can be sure things work, and perform like you expect.

Landscape manipulation done right is not impossible. And it doesn’t have to be horrible like what epic has to offer… (or in this case, cannot even begin to offer)
