Import real world locations into Unreal Engine

Unreal Map Bridge

Front end app for UnrealMapboxBridgePlugin https://github.com/delebash/UnrealMapboxBridgePlugin for Unreal. Import heightmaps into Unreal from real world locations using Mapbox or Maptiler

The web app can be used without the Plugin. It just creates and downloads heightmap images to your computer. You can manually import these images into Unreal using the Landscape Tools. The plugin part just automates the import into Unreal for convenience

This project allows you to create an Unreal landscape from a real world location on a map. This project is not affiliated with Mapbox or Maptiler it is just something I wanted to do. Cheers!

Tutorial Playlist for old app but some basics still apply read the help on the website for current instructions.

unreal_map_bridge's Issues

Not working in UE 5.3

I'm unable to get the plugin to work with UE 5.3. I've followed the install instructions, and choose the compile option during start-up, but the blueprint is not being displayed in the Content/ImportMap directory. I see the file "Mapbox_BP.usasset" with FileExplorer, but not within UE.

Please let me know if there is anything I can add to help debugging.

Map not selecting correct area

Reported by mykim — Today at 8:12 PM
When creating the heightmap, the heightmap does not match the specified blue bounding box location.
Can't generate matching like terrain app?

Unable to load mapbox styles

Trying to paste my custom style url to settings tab results in: Mapbox error: Not Found Please check your api key and other map settings in the settings panel
URL: mapbox://styles/ntkk5/clnit8zik027501qnbbgxhsck

What may be wrong here?

Exported sattelite image not lined up with heightmap

Not sure if that is some kind of limitation but would be nice to be able to line up the sattellite images with the heightmap
