    Default Making maps with Unity and Unreal?

    Has anyone tried using Unity or Unreal (or other type engines) to make a map? I'm guessing it would result in third-person perspective of all the zone terrain to make a map image. Never used either but a game programmer asked me today if I'd thought of using engines for mapping.

    So anyone done it? Care to share results and tips?

    No personal experience with this, but I believe there's some relevant discussion in this folder...

    I use godotengine.org to create a simple walkthrough of a dungeon map as a challenge entry a while back. I'll see if I can find the link. I also posted the source code for it.

    Download link is on page 6. Godot, unlike unity and unreal is totally free and open source. And once 3.0 comes out it will have a renderer that rivals it's competitors as well with PBR and voxel cone tracing and the like. Look into it.

    This one is entirely done in Unity3D so far.

    I'm using the 2D tools provided by the engine and a custom shader to get a paper texture effect. The shader took some time and trickery, but everything else was pretty straight forward.
