World Building

Summary

Use the landscape heightmap export tool on a landscape in one level and try and import that heightmap data into a new landscape in a different level

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Export heightmap from a level in a different map.
  2. Try and load that heightmap data In your current map
  3. Watch it fail miserably and be a very difficult process.
  4. Get frustrated with the the entire landscape exporting/importing system.

Expected Result

The heightmap of the landscape from the other level should have been applied properly and the two landscapes should look identical

Observed Result

Neither heightmap nor exported layer textures were applied to my landscape properly

Platform(s)

UEFN PC

Additional Notes

This has failed consistently every time I’ve tried to use Landscape heightmap import/export feature. Time to relook over this system and make sure it’s working properly. Landscapes are something that should be manipulated with ease.
