Today we are going to start a new series on how to generate terrain or landscape mesh in runtime in unreal engine. in this new series we are going to explore how to generate terrain or landscape mesh in runtime in unreal engine. Here, we will be using procedural mesh component to generate the mesh for landscape. The generation of vertices, triangles, normals, uvs and all other data will be handled through a code in runtime. Initially, we will implement the system exclusively in blueprints and then we will convert the system to C++ to enhance performance by utilizing multithreading
