M⁴ is a Procedural Terrain Generator, Splat Map Baker, Trail System, and Advanced Terrain Auto Material (that works with ANY height map) all in one!
Magic Map Material & Maker (M⁴) was made with cinematic quality and ease of use in mind. It is a Terrain Toolkit for use with ANY Unreal Engine 4 landscape and utilizes the latest in tech to achieve production-ready results in a fraction of the time. Just load in a height-map from any source (Houdini, World Creator 2, World Machine, etc.), begin sculpting within the editor, or use the included Terrain Generator and the M⁴ Auto Materials will instantly apply high amounts of detail to your world.
Important Note: The plants shown at the beginning of the “Product Showcase” Video are from other marketplace products and are NOT included with this pack, they are for demonstration purposes only (and to make a cool video). Everything else here on this product’s description IS included, and M⁴’s own photogrammetry based trees and rocks will be added over the course of updates.
