[Qgis-user] Help requested - Understanding how to use GQIS to realize Unreal Engine project

[Bango]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new member of this mailing list, a total QGIS beginner and I've some
issues understanding how to use QGIS to be able to realize a project.
In this regard I hope and I would appreciate it if you can help me out.

What do I want to achieve?

For this particular project I want to create a 3D map based on real world
locations within Unreal Engine 5 (UE).

In this regard I was able to collect a set of tiff files which contain the
height information I was looking for to use them as tiled heightmaps to
build up the entire 3D map.

Unfortunately, UE isn't capable of reading tiff files, so I would have to
convert the files to a format like raw or png.

Another issue is the tiff files contain latitude and longitude coordinates
(especially in their name), based on WGS84, which I guess would help to
arrange the tiles properly in software like QGIS, but UE isn't capable of
reading those coordinates and renaming the files manually can be very
tedious since they won't be displayed in the required order on Windows 11.

Anyways, since QGIS may can help me to get more real world related data and
info which I could use for my project, I probably won't get around having
to understand and use QGIS, but QGIS seems to have a very steep learning
curve and without your help I'll probably have to spend a lot more of time
trying to figure out if and how to get the results I need because from my
perspective the user interface and usability aren't very "beginner
friendly" and I haven't yet found any videos or articles about what I am
trying to accomplish nor isn't the documentation very helpful to me as I
don't understand what I've to look for regarding terms, features and
workflows.

Considering this, I thought, it might be more efficient to ask here for
help to understand if and how QGIS can help me to get the following desired
results:

1. I want to be able to export the tiff files in raw format and the files
should also contain a suffix in their name based on the xy coordinate
system considering the desired order e.g. tile_x1_y1, tile_x1_y2,
tile_x2_y1, etc. (preferably editable/exportable in a batch).

2. I want to be able to export more collected data (e.g. satellite images)
based on the number of tiles - for example: I want to export a
satellite image for each tile - and I want to be able define the desired
export resolution (also preferably in a batch).

Let me know if you need more request related info.

Thanks in advance for all the help and replies!

Best,
Bango
