UE5 | Create a Photorealistic Mountain Landscape in Gaea

Part 1 of my UE5 Multi Biome Landscape tutorial. In this tutorial will go over how to create Photorealistic Mountain Landscape in Gaea. Will also show how to import heightmaps in Unreal Engine and set up simple landscape material.

Let me know in the comments what biome you want me to cover next!

[@mooseywoosey8734]

I hope its not too late to request? I have been having trouble making a stratified mesa biome? something like monument valley. I've been making the terrain in Gaea and then using 4K assets in unreal to flesh it out but I feel like I'm not using Gaea as well as i can be for that.

Goat 🐐

[@welorn]

it's extraordinary what we can achieve with the unreal engine, it's disconcertingly simple to succeed with concepts when we understand how the tools work

[@MarisFreimanis]

Geae is great addition to Unreal, hopefully one day Unreal will fix their bad landmass tools and we will not need Gaea

[@AecelotGrimmWyrdStudios]

I really appreciate how you explain the reasoning behind your choices. Excellent tutorial video!

[@Mygamesworldiq]

Thank you

[@dougmaisner]

super great info!

[@victorvdr9]

Thank you!!

[@ibrahimakca8628]

If that Gaea is opened in UE5, we can say that it is inside, that Gaea is already visible in the render and that magnificent view in UE5 is visible to us.

[@CR4FTVR]

Brillant thank you its a massive help

[@MarisFreimanis]

Glad I could help!

[@steffl7337]

This needs more likes and Views. Love it

[@nikwalz3429]

Very good video :-) Thanks

[@jamesfield8023]

I would use the landscape auto material provided by Unreal Sensei. His is set up for Nanite landscape displacement and features better blending options. He also does a great job covering the options in his latest video on the subject. One thing you could do is use that blended colour and normal map generated by Gaia to tint the colour of the landscape material so it looks more natural from further away. Just need some macro variation added. Useful workflow. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarisFreimanis]

Hey! Thanks for a tip. Will check his auto material for future videos. That tinting is good idea, will try it out.

[@kiukle]

Are you referring to the video he uploaded 5 months ago?

[@josepharnone2861]

thx so mutch

[@thegrand1328]

Hey, my friend! Please show or explain how to add the water to this map in Gaea.

[@eris287]

i wish that this program allowed you to import files as nodes, that way it could account for roads and stuff

[@MarisFreimanis]

Yea that would be great, but at least we can do all that in UE afterwards.

[@Phantom422]

Brushify ain't free :(

[@MarisFreimanis]

Yes, I just check that, my bad. I thought it was one of "free forever" assets. Apparently Unreal Sensei has auto material that is free (in gumroad it shows that you should pay bit in description he provides 100% discount code)

13:51 "Saturation" map. 😂 No. That's not what it stands for. 16:25 Stop calling it a saturation map, you're embarrassing yourself.
