Designed for the busy environmental artist, the Professional Edition lets you build massive worlds, faster.
The Professional Edition is also available in a convenient site-license to eliminate license management hassles for your team.
Slash Build Times
Unlock high-speed performance for seamless interaction and builds
World Machine Professional can use the full potential of your many-core workstation. Even with dozens of cores, performance scales efficiently.
- Final asset builds utilize all available CPU power
- High-resolution displays are fully interactive within the UI
- Support for AVX2 compute capabilities doubles build speed of select devices
Create Vast Tiled Environments
Contemporary games feature expansive open worlds, making it impractical to load the entire environment into memory simultaneously.
By breaking the world into a set of smaller tiles, only the areas currently needed can be streamed into memory, enabling richly detailed landscapes.
The Professional Edition eases the pain of maintaining these tilesets.
Any World Machine world can be created and exported as a tiled world with one click. Build any resolution you desire. Need 300 GB of data? No problem.
All the datatypes you need are supported in tiled builds:
- Heightfields
- Bitmaps
- Masks
- Splat-maps
- Normal maps
- Meshes
Not Just for Export
You can also load and edit your already-created tilesets with the Tiled File Input device.
Each independent set of tiles is managed by a multi-resolution caching system that ensures that even very large worlds can be edited as if they were just a single file.
Easier Workflow
These features aim to help you work within World Machine and integrate with your process.
Multiple Monitor Support
Leverage multiple displays within World Machine. Maintain simultaneous views across your additional monitors for an optimized workflow.
Sessions and Snapshots
Keep the entire edit history of your project in a session file on disk, maintained between sessions. Not only do you have deep historical tracking and undo/redo, but you can keep the build results for those versions at the ready for comparison too!
Scripting & Automation
Customize Your Build Processes with Scripting
Integrate automation to generate World Machine assets within your existing build pipelines.
World Machine utilizes XML-based script files to facilitate command-line world generation. Incorporate World Machine into overnight builds or other automated workflows, controlling parameters such as resolution, world extents, or specific tiles directly through scripts.
