In this Unity game development tutorial we're going to look at how we can create realistic looking terrain from real world height data, using greyscale images known as heightmaps.

We'll start by explaining how heightmaps work before using a free resource to generate a heightmap from real world terrain data.

We'll then install the Terrain Tools package and use it to generate the terrain.

Finally, we'll use the Terrain Tools to split the large terrain into many connected tiles to improve performance.

The website to create heightmaps from real world data can be found here:
