This post will be a quick tutorial on importing your sick terrain from World Creator 2 into your Blender project. I’ve done this a few times so far, including in my most recent post. Now I’ll walk you through the process of exporting and importing the surface layer - not including textures (future post).

World Creator

1. Make something dope!
2. Go to Export in the top-right corner, make sure you’re on the Surface tab and set the following settings:

• Map Type: Terrain Height-Map.
• Select Format: TIFF.
• Bit Depth: 32 Bit (float).

3. Export and save heightmap.tif in the folder for your render.

Blender

1. Create a flat plane.
2. Go to edit mode.
3. Set select mode to Face Select.
4. Right click plane and select Subdivide.

• Set number of cuts to 10.

5. Press ‘A’ to select all of the subdivided plane.
6. Right click and Subdivide again.

• Set number of cuts to 10.

7. Add “Subdivision Surface” modifier to plane.

• Set to Simple, with subdivisions to 4 (Render) and 3 (Viewport).

8. Add Displacement modifer, set the texture to heightmap.tif from before.
9. Set the Strength to ~1/4 of the height range of the World Creator file.
10. Scale the plane to half the size of the World Creator map.

At this point you should have a pretty solid terrain to work with. I’ll do a follow up post soon for how to work with textures, but if you’re doing something like a desert you can probably just straight up add a sand texture as it is. Don’t forget to use a mapping node to scale it multiple times!
