Description

Ultimate World Map is designed to make selecting and highlighting countries, states and provinces easy, for those looking to make games, interactives and animated stories of our world.

There are 207 country meshes, with one for each country in the 16k map. Each country can be highlighted with its border texture or mesh outline, internal borders (provinces/states) textures or outlines or shaded, such as with a flat color. Additionally, there are 4,300+ states and provinces (some internal borders are split over multiple meshes in the 80k level), for more granular highlighting, gameplay and storytelling. The land or ocean can be set to a partially or fully flat color. Additionally, the normal map can be flattened to create an appearance similar to a flat vector graphic. Set actors to lat long locations using the custom Blueprint. The scene shown here uses Epic's atmospheric lighting system, allowing dynamic lighting and shading adjustments based on the sun angle, turning the city lights on and off depending on the directional light visibility.

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Currently when the project is executed in runtime or rendered from the Movie Render Que the states and province meshes will be shown, along with the country meshes that you see in the Editor and in a Level Sequence. Set the states and provinces meshes to Hidden in Game if you would like to only see the Countries at runtime and in the MRQ instead.

2. Please be aware that some countries have their 'county' equivalent such as Spain, instead of 'regions'. Please review the following list to see if the regions you are interested in are included or not.

3. Please note, in the 80k Level, that the 207 countries are split in multiple pieces sometimes and the 4300 + internal borders (state and provinces) are split over approximately 5000 meshes.

4. The 80k level will exhaust the default Texture Streaming Pool on load. Press play in the editor to increase the Texture Streaming Pool to 13.5 GB (this may be increased in future). For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you have an absolute minimum of 16GB of dedicated VRAM to have a chance to work with the 80k level, 24 GB + is currently recommended. The 80 k level is forward looking and extremely demanding on VRAM. I have not rendered sequences/movies using MRQ from the 80 k level but will be testing this soon to see what happens.

5. Please be advised that this project is not intended for ground level/first person usage, as the level of detail is that shown in the gallery images.

6. This project requires Virtual Textures to be enabled to work.

7. With all meshes visible (~14,800 +), the framerate is ~30-40 fps on an RTX 3090 at 4k. (usage videos show examples of frame rates on an RTX 3090 at 1920 x 1080).

8. The project has thousands of objects and currently takes 10+ minutes to open and fully load for the first time.

9. Please note that in the 80k level, the Country Borders, Internal Borders and Night Lights are channel packed.

This project is made from Static Meshes with many that are Nanite enabled.
This project is not suitable for first-person play or ground level use, both in terms of surface detail (lack thereof) and collisions.
This project is made of many mesh tiles to create the map, not a single map mesh.
The meshes in this project are triangulated.
