A tool for the creation of your own No Man’s Sky in Unreal Engine by Ali Akbar that will blow you away.
One of the members of Unreal Engine community, Ali Akbar, is working on a tool called Landscape Architect. It is a procedural landscape generator, which lets you design and build landscapes within the UE4 editor workflow, automatically taking care of setting up the materials, foliage, world composition and other essential details.

The tool is like a perfect solution for creating your own No Man’s Sky or even Star Citizen with so much possibilities. The developer is constantly upgrading the toolkit, adding more and more features. You can follow the progress here.

We hope to get a version of this masterpiece as soon as possible. Make sure to share your thoughts on the tool in the comments below.
