DOCUMENTATION · UPDATED 21 OCTOBER 2026

Your first landscape

Start with a small region and modest resolution so you can confirm the workflow before requesting a large world.

First import

1. Open a test level with working lighting. GeoVeyra's removed lighting presets do not create your scene lighting.
2. Open Tools > GeoVeyra X and choose Create. If an existing landscape is selected, use Create a new landscape instead when you intend a separate import.
3. In Location, search for a place or coordinates, zoom in, and draw the area. Read the displayed extent; panning the map is not the same as changing import bounds.
4. In Terrain, choose an available elevation provider and start with 1009 or 2017 resolution. Use Geographic intent for an unchanged geographic starting point.
5. In Appearance, choose GeoVeyra automatic, then a surface preset. Inspect the Surface preview. Configure satellite imagery if you want it in the final material.
6. In Features, enable only what you need. For a first connection test, you can disable mapped features and mapped land cover to generate terrain only. Add those features in a separate test once the provider connection succeeds.
7. In Review, check area, resolution and enabled features, then generate. Expand the status message if an operation fails.
8. Inspect the actual landscape, then save the level and all generated assets.

Check the result

Confirm terrain scale, material assignment, sea level and requested features in the editor. A successful terrain-only test does not validate OSM roads or buildings. An aerial satellite photo of a road or building is not proof that a mesh or spline was generated there.

Repeatable settings

Save a preset after a successful setup. Presets restore settings and selected area; they do not guarantee future provider availability or identical external data. Save the generated level and assets separately.
