1. What is World Creator?

World Creator is a standalone application for Windows (soon for Mac also) that lets you create terrains and complex landscape scenes up to entire worlds as seen in modern games, movies, and VFX / CGI productions.

It even may be used for real-world street planning, simulating rain fall and water mass, along with garden design and more.

8. Is an internet connection required when using World Creator?

An internet connection is only required when activating World Creator for the first time. After activation, World Creator downloads a license file that you can use for offline usage. That license file will be valid for a couple of days. Once expired, World Creator requires an active internet connection again to validate the license.

For environments where an off-line workflow is required for a longer period of time, please contact support@bitethebytes.com. We will provide a specific license file to you. However, this option is available for companies only.

9. Is World Creator compatible to game engines such as Unity and Unreal?

Yes, it is. Terrains are represented by 2D grey-scale images, so called height-maps. These can be exported by World Creator and imported into other applications, such as game engines (e.g. Unity, Unreal, Cry-Engine, Lumberyard, Godot, Flax, and more). The same approach also works for texturing / coloring and even for objects and details - World Creator let's you export everything required, to fully recreate the entire terrain in other applications.

For that we have developed the Bridge Tools which help you, to quickly transfer the World Creator terrain over to other applications. You can download it in the customer portal. Just login through our website, go to Bridge Tools and choose for what application you would like to download the Bridge Tool for.

10. Is World Creator compatible to applications such as Cinema4D, Vue, Octane, Clarisse, and more?
