Procedural Terrain Generator for UnrealEngine 4.25

This plugin generates heightmap-based terrain tiles in realtime, and move the tiles around to track a player pawn.

Features:

• Multithreaded heightmap, erosion and geometry generation
• A simple hydraulic erosion algorithm
• Multiple tile LODs with per-LOD collision, tesselation and subdivision
• Dithered LOD transitions (when using a suitable material instance)
• Slope scalar in vertex colour channel
• Depth map texture generation for water material

It has dependencies on :

• UnrealFastNoise by myself, a modular noise generation plugin

1. Create a new C++ project
2. Checkout UnrealFastNoisePlugin into your engine or project plugins folder ( https://github.com/midgen/UnrealFastNoise )
3. Checkout this repository into your engine or project plugins folder
4. Add "CashGen", "UnrealFastNoisePlugin" to your project Build.cs (required to package project)

PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "CashGen", "UnrealFastNoisePlugin" });

6. Create a new Blueprint based on CGTerrainManager
7. OnBeginPlay in the blueprint, call SetupTerrain() and fill out all required parameters
8. Add a CGTerrainTrackerComponent to any actors you wish to have terrain formed around
9. You can optionally tell the tracker component to hide/disable gravity on the spawned actors until terrain generation is complete
10. Vertex Colours - Red = slope. Green = the biome mask specified in terrain config
