Developed by lyoshko, Road Creator Pro is a powerful and flexible tool for creating realistic roads, highways, bridges, and intersections within Unreal Engine 5. Whether you’re constructing gravel roads, urban streets, or expansive highways, it offers a spline-based workflow, customizable road elements, and seamless landscape integration, enabling you to design detailed road networks efficiently.
Key Features
- Versatile Road Creation System: Design various road types, from city streets and gravel paths to multi-lane highways, bridges, and tunnels, using a flexible spline-based approach. Roads can have 1 to 8 lanes.
- Customizable Road Parts and Sidewalks: Enhance roads with guardrails, fences, concrete barriers, sidewalks, pedestrian paths, lampposts, noise barriers, cat’s eyes, gravel shoulders, and tactile paving. Each element can be adjusted for size, material, and placement, ensuring seamless integration into any environment.
- Advanced Intersections and Roundabouts: Easily incorporate pre-made intersections, roundabouts, and highway merges with automatic road snapping. Supports complex traffic flow management, including customizable road markings, road signs, stop lines, and pedestrian crossings.
- Bridges, Overpasses, and Tunnels: Construct detailed bridges with support for various styles, including overpasses and cable-stayed bridges with pylons and cables. Modify support spacing, height, and add abutments. Create tunnels with portals, lighting, and functional fans.
- Realistic Road Materials and Damage: Apply high-quality customizable materials such as asphalt with road markings, gravel, pavement, and concrete. Features include procedural cracks, patches, wetness/puddles, wear, broken guardrails, and asphalt edge ripple. Road lane markings are fully customizable, including lateral positioning, dashing, and double lines.
- Road Snapping and Editing: Utilize a snapping system to seamlessly connect roads, intersections, junctions, and roundabouts. Tools are included for splitting/merging roads and ensuring slopes and curvatures comply with international guidelines.
- Traffic Lights and Signage System: Integrate customizable traffic lights with adjustable sequencing and pedestrian signals. Includes physics-enabled European and American road signs, as well as destination signs with editable text.
- Performance Optimization: Employs instanced static meshes, LOD-based optimization, appropriate texture sizes, and scalable materials to ensure smooth performance, even in large-scale environments. Compatible with Static, Lumen, Mobile, and Path Tracer lighting types. Roads can be merged into a single mesh.
- Terrain Deformation and Seamless Integration: Roads automatically conform to landscapes, deforming terrain with adjustable height offsets and terrain painting to ensure natural blending.
- Level Decoration: Includes elements such as road closures, road poles, European and U.S. road signs, walls, fences, and fire hydrants. Decals for leaks, patches, skid marks, potholes, and road markings are also provided. Various barrier blueprints allow for prop scattering along splines.
- Day-Night Cycle and Night Visibility Enhancements: Integrated lighting control allows automatic sun and moon movement, with streetlights switching based on time of day. Features retroreflective road markings and elements, as well as light billboards on lampposts to enhance nighttime visibility.
- Detailed Demo Level: Includes three pre-built cities featuring European, American, and British-style roads, with a total of 44.5 km of drivable roads.
Each mesh features high-quality geometry and UVs, with a polycount suitable for high-quality architectural visualization. Meshes are equipped with Nanite or efficient LODs, correct lightmap UVs, and are ready for baked lighting, Lumen, mobile, and path tracing. They also include game-ready collision, customizable materials, and are scaled to real-world dimensions.
