There is nothing like the feeling of seeing your own game character running through a world you created. But often the skills and time taken to build a world are beyond the solo developer or indie studio.
To give everyone a chance to see their own world concepts on screen, Applied Algorithms developed the Auto World Builder, a template driven system that guides Unreal Engine developers from site selection to final foliage placement.
