unreal4 landscape best practice

littleclaude

Hi

I have seen many ways of making UE4 landscapes but wondered what is proving to give good results and keeping a good frame rate.

I am going to jump into it tomorrow so any tips before I start would be great.

I am thinking of making the landscape in Zbrush/ Mudbox for hightmaps rather then World Machine.

Presonally I start with unreal's tools to block on the basic shapes and make sure the scale will be correct from there I export out to world machine.

Two useful links that helped me a lot:
