THE BIOME

With a focus on Nanite/Lumen/VSM and inspired by the epic sandstone buttes of Monument Valley, this pack fully utilizes the latest and greatest technology in Unreal Engine 5.3. 

Our pack includes 3D-Scan assets, 8K textures, LODs, Collision, and pre-defined Sub-Biomes for vast and epic landscapes.

Generate Sub-Biomes fast with BiomePainter and make them vibrant with our Wind System and Foliage Interaction.

Enhance your environments identity with customizable seasons - snowy winter or autumn are covered in this pack!

Comes with a fully generated and highly detailed 64sqkm example map complete with distance meshes and various example Lumen lighting conditions.

SUB-BIOMES

All our environments are made up of at least 6 “sub-biomes” which are paintable layers that have their own unique look and identities.

    See Technical Limitations below for more information.

  • Minspec GPU for development: RTX 2080, 16-thread CPU, 32GB RAM

    Disclaimer: Performance was measured in a packaged build nearly identical to the Desert Cliffs runtime demo using our custom configs. In-editor performance is expected to be 20-30% worse.

    We primarely optimized for Nanite, there is significant room to improve non-Nanite performance.

    See our Documentation for more information.

    NANITE/LUMEN/VSM - RTX 4070 - UE5.3.2

    1440p / 50% SP

    • Medium ~ 200FPS/5ms

    • High ~ 135FPS/6.5ms

    • Epic ~ 95FPS/9ms

    The 2.x versions of our packs are meant for use with Nanite/Lumen/VSM, but also come with reworked LOD chains. Customers are eligible to receive access to a significantly more optimized version of our pack aimed at previous-gen and higher framerates on older hardware.

    • This product is made to be used with Nanite/Lumen/VSM, but we include LOD chains that is better suited for older hardware.

    • Movie Render Queue requires a specific pipeline config with a workaround to reliably render large, complex scenes. See our documentation.

    • PathTracing requires a bit of tweaking to properly work. PathTracing combined with MRQ can be problematic on some hardware. See our documentation.

    • Our example maps are dense and complex, not every area has been polished.

    • Seasons - known issue with snow displacement (WPO) causing triangles to be visible culled at the UV seams when Nanite starts simplifying the geometry. Seemingly a bug so best practice is to limit snow accumulation amount.

    • Nanite Splines - this feature is still experimental and not always stable. If you notice weird, glitchy out of place geometry in our example maps you can disable Nanite Splines with r.SplineMesh.RenderNanite=0, restarting the editor may also solve the issue.

    • Nanite Landscapes - this feature does not currently work well enough for us to use it. You may enable it in smaller landscapes (Pine), but it causes issues with LGT grass maps (procedurals) and large landscapes (8k/Desert) crashes when attempting to convert. These are known issues only Epic can address.

    • LGT/Micro scatter buggy rotation - at the edges of cliffs (any area where the landscape drops straight down) you might notice floating/weirdly rotated assets being spawned. This is an old bug with the LGT system. The only solution is to limit the amount of scatter in these areas using “NoSpawn” or “NearSlope” layers.

Supported engine: Unreal Engine 5.3/5.4
