The Most Powerful Displacement Tool | IHP for Unreal Engine

Almost every game developer has tried to push realism as far as possible, at least once, just to see how good it could look. We have made countless attempts, tried every technique we could find, and kept pushing it to get closer to what we imagined. Some developers eventually gave up on realism and changed the entire visual direction of

their game. Because when you're perfectionist, close enough just isn't enough. But let's remember what we are working with. It's called Unreal Engine. So why don't we use it to make something unreal? I am the developer of plug-in called IHP, implicit height field projection. Such a boring name and I believe it's the most powerful tool

available today for creating displacement like surfaces. And I'm still improving it. But what does that actually mean for your game? How good does it look? How do you use it? And is it actually worth buying? Let's get into it. I created a landscape level and I am going to show you the textures what I'm going to use today. Uh

base color, displacement texture, normal roughness and specular. Let's get started with the creating material and I'll call this landscape. So let's bring the textures we are going to use. Okay, we are going to use base color obviously the displacement texture and specular and roughness. Okay, so I'll connect these into where they belong. Specular

and roughness. Here we go. And let's create the texture coordinate and divide by two and connect those into the UVs. Okay. So let me create material instance and apply it into the landscape. Okay. So this is what we are looking at right now. So it's regular texture, right? Let's implement the IHP now.
