Install Gaia, choose a template or start a blank project, then drag and drop nodes to shape landscapes; tweak seeds and geo primitives for mountains and canyons.
Explore Gaia 2.0's advanced nodes, including fractal terraces, warp, and erosion, to craft realistic landscapes and export heightmaps for Unreal Engine 5.4, with rivers, lakes, and seas as masks.
Explore Gaia 2.0's node-based terrain creation, from creating projects and navigating the new interface to shaping mountains and canyons with Perlin and Voronoi masks and seeds.
Create a canyon heightmap for unreal engine 5.4 using gea 2.0 by assembling canyon, perlin noise, and transform nodes, blending mountains, and embracing a non-destructive workflow.
Activate the Unreal Engine water system to generate rivers and lakes on the landscape, using water body ocean and water body lake, and tweak color and waves later.
Explore master materials as templates and material instances in Unreal Engine to quickly generate diverse landscape materials, tweaking textures, base color, roughness, and normals in real time.
Apply the landscape layer blend in Unreal to build a multi-material landscape using material attributes, base color, specular, roughness, and normal maps, then create a reusable function to generate materials.
Generate slope and vegetation masks in Gaia 2.0 using erosion and edges nodes. Invert and adjust falloff to control rock and grass placement in Unreal Engine 5.4 landscape layer blend.
