I would like to make clear my loss of temper in my above posts was never about DRM, I wouldn’t want that to be the case. My responses were about being so small a producer that i could never realisticly try to track google links, Torrents, released products with UE4. Hence why i feel it should be the responsibility of the seller (Epic) if the content seller doesn’t have the resources and ask Epic to take that role on their behalf.
Im releasing an asset pack with 50 Terrains not pre baked, Not pre setup in engine with no original maps but the whole series of assets from start to finish that the user can do what ever they need to. Each terrain comes with all the masks, normal map, color, Extended color, Flow maps, Deposit maps, Wear maps, Height map and the final composited final file. Plus the final composite source photoshop file.
Then also 3d scene file for each terrain to be able to sculpt, Procedurally texture map, Edit in anyway the user would want and be able to then bake out their new modified texture maps and height map to make sure within import to UE4 everything fits and no user has to end up with the same results as any other user who bought the asset pack.
Also ive done video tutorials from start to finish of the whole process for users.

50 Terrains with all original maps, Finished edits of each, 3d files for texture baking (even for mobile devs that need to bake shadows into textures), 3D scene file for custom sculpting and height map export. 3D scene file for mixing multiple map’s from the pack into super sized terrains for the tile based terrain tool that’s being worked on by Epic.
Good 4-5 Months of hours, Ive suggested the selling price to Epic of $35 for everything because i want to help the UE4 community that im part of. Really it’s £400 of content. There’s no way i could try to make this any cheaper for my fellow UE4 devs, I Just hope people understand the amount of work gone into it and im trying my best to make it accessible by all, If people Pirate it they have no soul. If i don’t make money from this im homeless by Christmas.
