32 Icelandic volcano and ice cap maps in late winter, 400 km² each at 2.46 m - Herdubreid, Askja and ice-capped peaks as true-scale Unity terrains.
  • Heightmaps - 32 maps, 16-bit greyscale PNG, 8129 x 8129 px, 2.46 m per pixel (19.99 x 19.99 km, 400 km²)
  • Relief - 369 m to 2,094 m; the lowest point of every map sits at 0
  • Terrains - 2 x 2 Unity terrains of 4097 samples per map; terrain holes trim the unused edge
  • Precision - 11.3 mm (lowest relief) to 63.9 mm (highest relief) per height level
  • Demo - 3 prefabs that work in every pipeline, 9 scenes
  • Ground - 8 late-winter layers + shared layers, 4096 x 4096 albedo/smoothness, normal and mask
  • Painter - wind-driven snow, drifts, scoured rock, frozen lakes and glacier ice from the terrain shape, any terrain, restore button
  • Shaders - world-aligned hex-tile terrain shaders with side projection, lava-flow beds and fine relief - Built-in, URP, HDRP
  • Tools - Terrain Builder, Project Setup, Iceland Winter Ground painter, PDF manual
  • Unity - 2022.3 and above

Volcanoes and ice caps of the Icelandic highlands at their real size - 32 late-winter maps, 20 x 20 km each

Table mountains standing out of frozen lava plains, a caldera with its crater lake, ice-capped massifs that drop more than 2,000 m to their outlet glaciers, cones and fissure ridges. Every map is a 400 km² square of real ground from elevation data (DEM) at 2.46 m per pixel, with 369 m to 2,094 m of relief, built in Unity sample for sample.

​

✦ IN THE HIGHLANDS

  • 32 volcano and ice cap heightmaps - 16-bit PNG, 8129 x 8129 px; size and height range in each file name and inside the PNG
  • True-scale terrains - each map becomes 2 x 2 Unity terrains of 4097 samples from the original pixels, 1 unit = 1 metre
  • Three demo levels - Herdubreid Table Mountain, Askja Caldera Lake and Ice Cap Summit Ridges, each in Built-in, URP and HDRP (9 scenes)
  • Frozen crater lake, snowy ice caps - the painter finds lakes and glaciers in the terrain and paints lake ice and blue-grey glacier tongues

​

✦ WINTER GROUND FOR EVERY MAP

  • Eight 4K layers - wind-packed snow, soft drifts, sastrugi crust, thin snow over lava, basalt, talus, ochre tuff and ice
  • A painter that reads the land - lee slopes fill with drifts, crests are scoured to black rock, rough lava keeps its tops above the snow
  • Any terrain, one click - Tools > Lidar Terrains > Iceland Winter Ground paints the other 29 maps - or your own terrain - like the demo levels
  • No tiles, no seams - hex-tile sampling at three scales and four scales of variation keep even wide snowfields free of repeats

​

✦ FRAME RATES AT 4K

  • 3840 x 2160, no upscaling - HDRP 60-121 FPS · URP 82-169 FPS · Built-in 101-346 FPS in player builds on an RTX 3090

​

✦ SET UP IN A MINUTE

Unity 2022.3 and above. Tools > Lidar Terrains > Project Setup turns on terrain holes for your pipeline. Built-in has no post-processing, so its demo levels look plainer than URP and HDRP.

✦ MADE FOR

Survival and expedition games, flight and helicopter simulators, open-world volcanic landscapes and cinematic establishing shots.
