How To
Spawn and Manage Distant Biome
Use the biome system by placing and configuring spline-bounded or landscape-based biomes, assigning priorities, and letting the system automatically blend and resolve overlaps based on your settings.
How To
Create a new regular level, preferably with a Landscape Actor, drop BP_DistantBiome_(YourAssetName), select a mountain shape you prefere and press Spawn. You can scale and rotate actor, trees will adjust automatically.
Notice
Trees are only spawned ontop of a mountain shape, they are excluded from any other overlaping objects.
