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.
