Quick start

From empty project to a spinning planet in a few steps. Each step links out to the full guide for details.

1. Create a terrain generator

Create a Terrain Height Generator asset, then build a basic heightmap — an FBM noise node wired into the graph Output.

Full walkthrough: Terrain Graph

2. Place the planet

Spawn a Metaplanet Actor into your level and point its Generation settings at the generator asset.

3. Add a surface material

Create and assign a material to give the planet visual detail.

4. Add atmosphere and foliage

Place an Atmosphere Actor at the planet's center for sky and lighting, and scatter vegetation with a Spawner Generator.

5. Run it

The planet generates at runtime with dynamic LODs — play it in the editor or package it. See Performance for what to expect.
