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 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 Automaterial will instantly apply high amounts of detail to your world.

Important Notes: 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 in the product description is included.

 

Update June 2024: Unfortunately the addition of M4’s own custom made trees (which was a planned update) is postponed indefinitely due to life events and resources. I’ll update the Roadmap if that changes.
