Yours is one of the few assets I've purchased and never regretted. Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to seeing how this project evolves as you further develop it.
After watching this video, I was in awe. This has to be one of the best assets for generating procedural-generated terrain I have seen. Absolutely brilliant using a node-based system and I can't wait to actually get hands on with this. It was an instant purchase for me and now I'm off to go and watch all the tutorials!
TNice tutorials was honestly so helpful. I’ve been working around soft, whether it be church, singing in a band, or theatre for most of my life so tNice tutorials
Wow. Great tutorial. This fellow here has the skills to make beautiful terrain and informative tutorial. He also has a funny Slavic accent, which combined with efficient vocabulary (that he has) makes him sound even more professional. Appreciate the video. It's inspiring how good looking environment one can create in such a period of time. Amazing.
@@denispahunov6415 hey man please I downloaded the map magic two I couldn’t find the raw input then realized its now import but don’t know how to operate the import Please could you make a tutorial on the import node?
I've rarely been so excited by a tutorial. I'm parsing it bit by bit and the potential is just fascinating:) I'm really glad you made this in depth video - i really want to play with the Biomes, but i thought i should finish this basics outline first so i understand what i'm doing.
Thx so much for your tool, it's wildly underrated you've fixed every flaws of unity terrain (for what 10 years now O_o...) while navigating the crazy hurdles it comes with.
Wow - incredibly powerful AND beautiful:) I love all things terrain generation - thanks for taking the time to share this fascinating video, and great work!
I haven't bought the asset (yet) but looking at this got me hyped, can't wait to get home and play around with it. I can tell it's going to be a great asset just by looking at the quality of this tutorial vid.
Good lord I sat in awe watching this. This tool is insane. I will have to find the time to watch your videos more closely-- maybe when I don't have to make something for a class.
This looks fantastic. I have a few questions. 1) Is it possible to make terrain holes, like for caverns generated beneath the surface? 2) Could building/shop prefabs be added to the map generation so that random functional villages are on the landscape? 3) Is it possible to have streams/rivers and waterfalls generated? 4) Can nav mesh agents navigate the terrain? 5) Do generated terrains take up a lot of disk space, like if a player explores a lot and saves his game? 6) Would it be possible for a player to dig into the terrain to make lakes, hills, trenches, etc? 7) If a player leaves an area or the level, and comes back, will the terrain be the same, or newly generated and different (go into a cave on the beach, and when you return, you are on a mountaintop)? 8) How well do you think this will work with the Oculus Rift? Keep up the great work!
Can't answer everything but I'll help. 1.) Not possible without some scripts. Most tutorials say to add portals or make an entrance such as a door to load a different world (Bethesda approach). Another way around this to have a prefabricated mountain side with a cave system imported from 3ds Max, Maya, etc... don't recommend that, though. 3.) If you have a plane of water rendered at any location above 0 on the Y-Axis (Assuming your terrain is at 0) then every time the terrain is created, dips at that location would result in lakes or rivers. They might look funky with grass textures, but its definitely a start. Waterfalls I am not quite sure. 5.) By Definition, yes. The more loaded, the more the system has to recall places you've previously traveled, say, if you wanted to go back to a town or something. Unless the script were to make it different every time you leave an area and return, the file size should increase. 7.)Depends on how the script is made. Referring to the way Minecraft is structured, if the world is generated by a sort of seed, then areas will always be the same. But if the script activates every time you leave an area, more than likely, it will change. Can't go into specific scripting, for I do not have that knowledge. 8.)Should work great, assuming you have the necessary hardware and Vr Plugins / scripts for Unity. There are a bunch on the asset store.
Actually even easier. You need to have runtime installed and all you have to do is hit VR supported check in the Player Settings/Other Settings and your main camera is now VR camera if unity detects VR plugged into system where it runs. This is more than enough for quick tests and look-arounds as well as camera cut-scenes or ride like animations.
crazy how little progress has been made in this subject other than programs like Houdini which isn't free and is still very complex to use. This program was/is ahead it's time.
Thank you for putting the index into your video description. You can just write the timestamps though rather than having to do links to each part. eg. 1:17 for the short description
Man i just buy this asset few weeks ago i must say a great asset and a great time saver for our project. better than world creator. i will recommend to everyone to buy this asset.
Esti genial , imi place foarte mult cum explici , e chiar interesant tot ceea ce faci , mai posteaza tutoriale , de genul acesta , sunt superbe . Sorry , i'm romanian and i don't know much english :) ,but i like you and your channel .
This is so awesome. It's the combination of some of my favourite Unity tools. A few questions though. 1)If I understand this right, we can modify pinned terrains as we like, and the rest will be generated at runtime. So how do we make sure that there will be a traversable path in between two pinned terrains? 2)What about navmeshes for NPC's? Can they even be generated at runtime? 3)Is there a way to create some sort of LOD for distant terrains? As things stand now, we'll either have to fully load a adjacent terrain even tho we don't need it, or we'll content with terrain popping. Again congratulations on the awesome work. Keep rocking!
+flanker I'd like to clarify that MM does not generate roads - at least not yet, so the pinned terrains could not be connected with a path. There is no way to ensure that the pinned terrains would be connected - for example, they could be created on a different islands. To avoid this you can use a rude low-res heightmap as a base for your land - this video shows how to use it. MM works with dynamic pathfinding only. Users say that they could make Apex Path to work with MM. I plan to make low-resolution terrains in v1.4
This is an amasingly awsome tutorial its easy to understand and realy detaild, i have never used unity but im staring to and i can still understan all that you say thanks
Нет слов! Офигенно! Я не знаю, где использовать этот плагин в данный момент, но чую, что ради этого начну пилить отдельную игруху ).

Thanks for your tutorial. Denis, is there any way to put wind on those trees? Grass is moving allright but trees are static. I´m trying it by using a windzone but I failed.
I have to admit: this is quite amazing! Every time I thought "Well this looks quite ok to me now", you did yet another step. The fact that your tool can generate the terrains at runtime as needed is impressive as well. Very nice job! Have you considered joining the Unity team? It would be great to see your tool become part of the Unity tool suite!
Okay been following your tutorial, however even though this is a great asset, you changed many of your tools and updated them, could you please upload another video because some of the things you show either don't exist anymore or don't function as shown in the video such as th-cam.com/video/BxqaYrRII5A/w-d-xo.html, this does not function anymore as you explained it rather frustrating to me to follow exactly what you do and either do not have the choices or it doesn't function correctly
You have to update a new video for the new version. This video is for the previous one and some things have changed. You should pay attention to the educational support.
What makes you think that there are no tutorials for MapMagic 2? th-cam.com/play/PL8fjbXLqBxvbsJ56kskwA2tWziQx3G05m.html This one is still available at the asset store (mainly for voxeland compatibility), so the video is still relevant, and not removed from youtube.
@@denispahunov6415 Thank you. That helped a lot, the only problem I’ve got now is that the island mountains have got a big flat part on top, I’ve adjusted the height and a few other settings to fix it but I haven’t figured it out. Any ideas?
Not really related to this video but ive seen "tutorials" that are actually timelapses, without even posting a link to the addon in the description or comments So the comment section is like this "Hey, post the link" "How can i follow this tutorial/timelapse thing if i dont have the addon featured in the video"
Hello Denis, i need your help for know how to interact with mapmagic, i want to create a multiplayer, so i would like if the player can see the other player only on the terrain range (if 4 terrain are loaded, only the player on the 4 terrain are showed) for the moment all the players load his own part of the terrain and its great if you can give me some tips for doing that i would verry appreciated (sorry for my verry bad english btw i do my best) also my shore is verry polygonal and not verry pretty like yours any tips ? also thanks for you're amazing jobs !
Really nice Work! such a good Tutorial!!! at the and it was a bit too fast. But all in all nice work!!! :D but i got a Question: How you got the Lens flair effect or how you made the sunbeams visible? and how i get the Shadows of the trees?
+Christopher Lauber Thanks! Sunbeam effect is just a standard Unity Sun Shafts effect. They are really ok when the light source is in camera frustum. Oh, and there are slightly visible sun shafts at the skybox, but they do not play a big role in a whole picture. I had no problem with trees casting shadows, but I'm using the tree models (just a simple prefab assigned as a tree). They are casting shadows by default.
Hi, thanks for the tuto, helped me a lot with Map Magic. But I still have a question: How can I change a portion of the map (flattern large zone) ? I've disabled the trees on the square I want to edit, add a new ground texture for showing me where I need to flatern, but when it's done and I remove the texture...map magic undo all what I've done for recreate procedural generation... Do you know how I can do this ? Thanks anyway =)
Great tutorial, thanks for the effort. I like the procedural approach and the amazing details and variety filled landscape your asset creates. I love that you can add villages or maybe even a city? How about procedurally generated roads to connect the villages?
procedural roads are yet not supported, but still you can create villages. See this post for details: forum.unity3d.com/threads/map-magic-world-generator-a-node-based-procedural-and-infinite-game-map-tool.390920/page-19#post-2845832
Thanks Denis, I'm looking forward to such a feature in the future. :-) Edit: Do you think a procedural river and lake tool could be integrated some time in the future? Roads/paths, rivers and lakes are essential parts of landscapes.
+Denis Pahunov I am loving what I am seeing! This raised a couple of questions tho! I can not find the terms of service of this product anywhere (at least before pressing the purchase button)? I need to know all the terms of the product before I would consider buying, I hope you understand! (Including but not limited to terms about commercial use, and so on and so forth.) I did not see you altering the terrain height manually using the manual terrain painting tools during this demo, I am assuming that manual editing using the standard unity terrain tools is still working, but you just didn't include it? I am also assuming that manually painting on "detail meshes" works as usual? Also as you did not place/have any working colliders, do colliders work normally if set to the object prefabs? Thank you for your time in advance!
+JeiDoll You can modify terrain using standard tools. But then you'll have to "pin" those terrains. If you don't your changes will be overwritten. If it's in the prefab, colliders work as usual. There is a demo version you can try. It basically have all the functionality except you can't save. Oh, and it's v1.1(no shore generator)
+flanker Yup saw the pinning terrains , still interested to know what are the terms of use, even before downloading the demo version, and specially in regards of commercial use. Watched the entire tutorial before commenting about anything to make sure I wouldn't post doubles or already answered questions, then also went trough all the media outlets (Unity forums, his website, asset store etc), and it was just slightly odd to me that Terms of Service didn't really seem to be a thing. XD Specially since he is selling the product for 55$ I would hate to find myself loving a tool and then not being able to use it in any actual projects I am working on, legal matters are the worst, but I guess necessary evil. Was suspecting as much with the colliders & prefabs, was just weird to me that it never really got mentioned, but I guess he mainly focused strictly on visuals during the entire demo, which is understandable. :)
JeiDoll Guess he just didn't have time for the legalities yet. This is without a doubt, one of the best assets i've seen on the unity store. But there are still some major issues. I'll hold onto my money until they are fixed :) The chief amongst them is, the inability to create road networks without pinning all the terrain in between. Then there is the question of LODs. I don't want players to see terrain popping if they are coming from a high altitude. There are probably ways to fix this one, but I'd like to know beforehand.
flanker Yes for sure, but at the same time I think as a terrain creator asset tool alone, even when creating just a singular terrain map, this is still a very powerful tool, and the video did an amazing job really going trough all of the features. :D My perfectionist enjoyed all the logic and control that the different modifiers and the different outcomes depending on the hierarchy etc. Also just how far only a few models can be stretched using this system... Imagine when with 1 stone he made that, when there is 5 different types of stones. Just ah, in general everything just really looks and seems good here, I just want to see the legal things in daylight, but I'm really having hard time holding myself back from this already. XD
+JeiDoll All of the Unity Assets are distributed under the Asset Store EULA (unless it's directly stated in asset's description): unity3d.com/ru/legal/as_terms, see Appendix 1.
You can still find bias in Legacy -> Noise (1.7) generator, and since 1.8 you can use a separate bias generator to process any map (not only noise): gitlab.com/denispahunov/mapmagic/wikis/map_generators/intensity_bias
hey my objects and trees keep generating on the ground while i have relative height on. Sometimes after 10 minutes of cliking show hide output it works but when i try to change one thing it fucks everything up again
Great tutorial. I went through the whole thing with the demo version. Very easy to use. Things fell apart a little with adding the skybox, fog, and sunrays, though. You went a little fast at that part. I had to google how to do that. I'm going to try more tutorials, see if I can get some biomes going. Thanks for the great work!
Hello Denis, first of all, this looks AMAZING! I'm considering purchasing, and I'm happy to see the license includes full source code (kudos to you for that). While this is amazing for creating huge, even advanced terrains; I were wondering how the data is saved, I want to use this to generate approximate terrains, and then manually fix specific areas etc. Are trees, rocks, bushes etc. saved as seperate object(s)? Can I manually delete one and one if needed? (I haven't finished the entire video, sorry if this is answered later on). Is the source code well commented, understandable for someone with a/some few years of C# knowledge? Thanks in advance, Duke Edit: Yupp, you've explained it very well, and with the full source code I can change and save/load whatever I want/need :) You just got a new customer!
This is the most detailed tutorial about a product I've ever seen. I like the way you explained your asset. Good job Denis.
+John Allushi Thanks, glad you are enjoying this tutorial!
Props for the effort it must have taken not only to build the tool but the additional support you have given.
You're welcome! )))
Yours is one of the few assets I've purchased and never regretted. Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to seeing how this project evolves as you further develop it.
This hands down was the best ever purchase I made on the unity asset store and I rarely purchase assets for game-dev!
I'm buying this because you put so much effort in it, including aesthetics in the work flow like portals. Thank you so much.
Over the years I have watched hundreds of tutorials on dozens of subjects, and this is among the best of them. Great work! I look forward to many more

arrow forward once to get "Analog app 1 TE" like he uses in the video or simply find one you'd like to use alternatively instead.
can you make wind and moving water streams and waterfalls?
Hi, thanks for the tuto, helped me a lot with Map Magic. But I still have a question: How can I change a portion of the map (flattern large zone) ? I've disabled the trees on the square I want to edit, add a new ground texture for showing me where I need to flatern, but when it's done and I remove the texture...map magic undo all what I've done for recreate procedural generation...
Do you know how I can do this ? Thanks anyway =)
Are you trying to edit terrain manually, using the standard Unity tools? In this case you need to lock terrain using "Lock" button.
Great tutorial! Super easy to understand!
mother nature is so tight.
Great tutorial, thanks for the effort. I like the procedural approach and the amazing details and variety filled landscape your asset creates. I love that you can add villages or maybe even a city?
How about procedurally generated roads to connect the villages?
procedural roads are yet not supported, but still you can create villages. See this post for details:

Thanks Denis, I'm looking forward to such a feature in the future. :-)
Edit: Do you think a procedural river and lake tool could be integrated some time in the future?
Roads/paths, rivers and lakes are essential parts of landscapes.

I am loving what I am seeing! This raised a couple of questions tho!
I can not find the terms of service of this product anywhere (at least before pressing the purchase button)?
I need to know all the terms of the product before I would consider buying, I hope you understand!
(Including but not limited to terms about commercial use, and so on and so forth.)
I did not see you altering the terrain height manually using the manual terrain painting tools during this demo, I am assuming that manual editing using the standard unity terrain tools is still working, but you just didn't include it?
I am also assuming that manually painting on "detail meshes" works as usual?
Also as you did not place/have any working colliders, do colliders work normally if set to the object prefabs?
Thank you for your time in advance!
+JeiDoll You can modify terrain using standard tools. But then you'll have to "pin" those terrains. If you don't your changes will be overwritten.
If it's in the prefab, colliders work as usual.
There is a demo version you can try. It basically have all the functionality except you can't save. Oh, and it's v1.1(no shore generator)

Yup saw the pinning terrains , still interested to know what are the terms of use, even before downloading the demo version, and specially in regards of commercial use.
Watched the entire tutorial before commenting about anything to make sure I wouldn't post doubles or already answered questions, then also went trough all the media outlets (Unity forums, his website, asset store etc), and it was just slightly odd to me that Terms of Service didn't really seem to be a thing. XD
Specially since he is selling the product for 55$
I would hate to find myself loving a tool and then not being able to use it in any actual projects I am working on, legal matters are the worst, but I guess necessary evil.
Was suspecting as much with the colliders & prefabs, was just weird to me that it never really got mentioned, but I guess he mainly focused strictly on visuals during the entire demo, which is understandable. :)
JeiDoll Guess he just didn't have time for the legalities yet.
This is without a doubt, one of the best assets i've seen on the unity store. But there are still some major issues. I'll hold onto my money until they are fixed :)
The chief amongst them is, the inability to create road networks without pinning all the terrain in between.
Then there is the question of LODs. I don't want players to see terrain popping if they are coming from a high altitude. There are probably ways to fix this one, but I'd like to know beforehand.

Yes for sure, but at the same time I think as a terrain creator asset tool alone, even when creating just a singular terrain map, this is still a very powerful tool, and the video did an amazing job really going trough all of the features. :D
My perfectionist enjoyed all the logic and control that the different modifiers and the different outcomes depending on the hierarchy etc.
Also just how far only a few models can be stretched using this system... Imagine when with 1 stone he made that, when there is 5 different types of stones.
Just ah, in general everything just really looks and seems good here, I just want to see the legal things in daylight, but I'm really having hard time holding myself back from this already. XD
+JeiDoll All of the Unity Assets are distributed under the Asset Store EULA (unless it's directly stated in asset's description): unity3d.com/ru/legal/as_terms, see Appendix 1.
At 32:20 , he is setting the Bias to 0.5 , but in the newer version of Mapmagic, the Bias no longer exists... How to get the same effect?
You can still find bias in Legacy -> Noise (1.7) generator, and since 1.8 you can use a separate bias generator to process any map (not only noise): gitlab.com/denispahunov/mapmagic/wikis/map_generators/intensity_bias
hey my objects and trees keep generating on the ground while i have relative height on. Sometimes after 10 minutes of cliking show hide output it works but when i try to change one thing it fucks everything up again
Aquas is no longer free. You should make a note of that somewhere.
Thanks! I've added a note in the description and an annotation - happily it's still possible :)
Great tutorial. I went through the whole thing with the demo version. Very easy to use. Things fell apart a little with adding the skybox, fog, and sunrays, though. You went a little fast at that part. I had to google how to do that. I'm going to try more tutorials, see if I can get some biomes going. Thanks for the great work!
ive been making complete verses on a single soft, it seems everyone of these tutorials i find like to put a single instrunt on each
awesome tutorial my brother! you should make some tutorials on computer vision tasks!
It gets sad that i have all the materials needed to make a soft but when i get in front of it idk wtf im doing and i cant co up with
Agreed. All the others just turn your brain upside down. Nice tutorials is simple.
Hello Denis, first of all, this looks AMAZING!
I'm considering purchasing, and I'm happy to see the license includes full source code (kudos to you for that).
While this is amazing for creating huge, even advanced terrains; I were wondering how the data is saved, I want to use this to generate approximate terrains, and then manually fix specific areas etc.
Are trees, rocks, bushes etc. saved as seperate object(s)? Can I manually delete one and one if needed? (I haven't finished the entire video, sorry if this is answered later on).
Is the source code well commented, understandable for someone with a/some few years of C# knowledge?
Thanks in advance,
Duke
Edit: Yupp, you've explained it very well, and with the full source code I can change and save/load whatever I want/need :) You just got a new customer!
buy it, its highly recommended especially if you want a totally infinite world with no much hassle :)
Scavenger Scav I did buy it , but without knowing it actually used unity terrain component. :( super hard to extract the mesh correctly.
This looks amazing.
i'm definitely buying this
+Jokester The Mighty great, gl with MM!
Thank you for the tutorial, Bane. (You have a cool voice)
