![]() This term is used to denote the difference between a (Īnd a map that defines the topography of a terrain (not always black and white). Just a quick factoid, the official term for a Now that we have a terrain we're happy with, we have 2 choices The features of the landscape terrain itself shouldn't change, but Vue will "smooth" the terrain based on the new sub-division.īe wary of this before painting, because if you paint in the default 256x256 size, and then sub-divide, Vue will smooth out what you have just painted, and you might lose detail(s). Your terrain should auto update to the higher resolution in both the Terrain editor, and in the (background) scene in Vue. Using 1 meter = 1 Pixel ratio, the default Vue terrain of 256x256 (before pressing 2x) will be 255 meters squared in UE4.Īfter pressing 2x, the terrain should then be 512x512, or 511 meters squared. ![]() You should avoid going below 512x512 unless you know exactly what you are doing and why.įor more info about the Scale in UE4, read the top section ofĮven though this guide is fairly different because the options in Vue are vastly different to World Machine, the scale theory still applies. ![]() Inversely, low resolution terrains will lead to bad terracing on the exported terrain, and within the Vue editor. The higher the resolution, the more 'detailed' the terrain will be, at a great cost to rendering performance, editing performance and final in-game performance. The size (resolution) for the terrain is important and has distinct advantages and disadvantages based on the size. This should create a default "mountain" terrain that is auto-generated inside your Vue scene.įor the sake of time, we'll leave this auto-generated terrain as-is.ĭouble click this terrain in one of the Perspective views, or right click the newly created Terrain in the Layers panel, and choose "Edit Object".Īlong the top toolbar inside the Terrain Editor, look for the "2x" button to "double the terrain resolution" To start, open your version of Vue to a new scene. This tutorial should apply to any Vue version from about 7 and up. Modules for VUE 2015 - RenderUp on cornucopia3d This may not include exported heightmaps or models, but Render watermarks can be removed by purchasing the RenderUp module for about $69USD VUE Pioneer 2015 is now free for non-commercial use, but carries a watermark on Rendered images. Landscape Visualization with e-on software The different Landscape Visualization editions can be found over on the E-on software website: XStream edition is not critical, but this is the version I will be using for this tutorial. * Working with weightmaps for texturing will be covered in the next tutorial. * And finally importing it into Unreal Engine 4. * Exporting landscapes from Vue as either heightmap (Heightfield) or OBJ mesh * Setting up a basic terrain generation in e-on software's Vue xStream REALLY I DO !!.Welcome to the first part in my Vue Series of tutorials. I love to spend my money and I love making artwork but I HATE being made to run in circles chasing my tail. fix your site and get the bugs out of this program and I would drop a few thousand dollars today on your products. I see so much fantastic work done with this program and to tell the truth am very jealous that I can not join in on the fun. I am not a person that has a grudge against any one and am a true lover of making three dee stuff but I am truly saddened by my experience with these folks and would NOT recommend them to people, especially a beginner at using Vue. I know they would love to have my money but (and this is a BIG BUT) unless I know I can find a way to get any of this expensive software to work and at least have someone to get help from I would not give them ONE RED CENT of my money. ![]() I would truly LOVE to have this program and have literally tons of money to spend on all of the stuff on the website. For the life of me I can not understand why they want anyone to buy something that does not work and leave you NO OPTION to get advice or troubleshooting info for the problems at hand. They sluff you off to Cornocopia's website and I am not allowed to use the forums as it too will not accept my personal info so a membership is not on the horizon. If you go to the website you will find they do NOT accept any form of email whatsoever. The pioneer version promises that the restrictions will be lifted after I buy a particular plugin but it never EVER recognizes me installing the plugin so it still stays restricted. It runs you in circles and the links all come back to me putting in the same personal info over and over and it just never gets anywhere. Even overlooking the fact that it is most difficult for me to use (I have quite a few 3D programs that I can use adequitely) I am amazed at the HORRIBLE support network and in particular their own website where no matter what I do I can not get support from.
