Real-world city builder · Unreal Engine 5.8

Turn any place on Earth into a to-scale Unreal level.

Give GeoScape a latitude and longitude. It fetches OpenStreetMap buildings & roads and global elevation, then builds a real Landscape with Nanite buildings and roads draped on it, ready for World Partition. No QGIS, no manual GeoJSON, no heightmap exports.

// one coordinate → a whole city

You pick the place. GeoScape builds it, to scale.

One lat/long and an area size is the whole input. GeoScape sources the data, georeferences it, and generates editable Unreal geometry, no GIS pipeline to assemble.

// how it works

A bounding box in. A finished level out.

GeoScape runs inside the editor. It fetches the real world for your area, then generates the geometry, no external pipeline to wrangle.

01

Pick a location

Enter a latitude, longitude, and area size in the GeoScape panel, or call it from Blueprint / Python.

02

GeoScape fetches the world

OpenStreetMap buildings & roads and global elevation for the bounding box, georeferenced automatically.

03

Terrain + city, generated

A real Landscape with slope-aware Nanite buildings and draped roads, batched for World Partition streaming.

World Partition
// three layers, generated

Terrain, buildings, and roads, from real data.

Each layer is editable Unreal geometry, not a baked mesh dump, and everything is batched into cells for streaming.

Terrain

A real ALandscape from global elevation tiles, sized to your bounding box with an auto-chosen Z scale.

real elevationauto-scaled

Buildings

OpenStreetMap footprints extruded at real heights, slope-aware so nothing floats or buries on a hill. Baked to Nanite.

Roads

Centerlines become draped ribbons at per-class widths, lifted above the terrain and two-sided so they read from any angle.

Pre-batched into cells for World Partition + HLODs
-Organize actors for streaming yourself
// flexible data

Live fetch, or bring your own.

GeoScape ships pointed at public OpenStreetMap and elevation sources, but every source, projection, and field name is configurable, so your own data and providers slot right in.

Your own GeoJSON

Parse a GeoJSON FeatureCollection, building polygons and road lines, from any city open-data portal or export.

Configurable field mapping

Tell GeoScape which properties carry height, storeys, width, or lanes, so any provider's schema resolves correctly.

Swappable endpoints

Point the Overpass and elevation URLs at your own mirror or a commercial provider for production and bulk use.

Blueprint & Python API

Drive the whole pipeline from a subsystem call, for batching many locations or wiring into your own tools.
