49 procedural desert and hill landscapes at their exact size
15 dune seas, 17 rocky deserts and 17 rocky hill landscapes. Every heightmap covers 8.128 x 8.128 km (about 8 x 8 km, 64 square km) with 1 m between samples. Every Unity terrain sample is an original heightmap pixel - nothing is stretched or resampled - and 1 Unity unit is 1 metre. The dune maps come with a wind-rippled sand look.
✦ WHAT'S INSIDE
• 49 heightmaps - 16-bit PNG, 8129 x 8129 px, height range from 163.8 m to 491.5 m
• 9 demo scenes - 3 demo levels x 3 render pipelines: Dune Sea (sand look), Crater Escarpments and Rocky Outcrops
• Terrain Builder - one click turns any heightmap into seamless exact-scale Unity terrains
• 14 ground layers in 4K - painted automatically from slope and landform in three looks: wind-rippled Sand (dune maps), Grassland (meadow, forest floor, dry earth, scree, rock, gravel) and Red Rock (no grass)
✦ FEATURES
• Exact scale - size and height range are in every file name and inside every PNG, and the builder reads them for you
• Anti-tiling terrain shaders - every layer blends three texture sizes by viewing distance, so no repeating patterns
• Seamless 2 x 2 tiles - each map is split into four 4097-sample terrains (Unity's limit) that share their edge pixels
• Verify - compares every terrain height with the original pixels
✦ PERFORMANCE
• Native 3840 x 2160, no upscaling, demo scenes in player builds: Built-in 132-741 FPS · URP 155-534 FPS · HDRP 76-249 FPS (RTX 3090)
✦ DEMO CONTROLS
Mouse look · WASD move · Shift fast · G walk at 1.8 m eye height · F fly · N / P next / previous level · H help
✦ UNITY 2022.3 AND ABOVE
Built-in, URP and HDRP in one package. Tools > Procedural Terrains > Project Setup switches on terrain holes in your pipeline asset with one click.
✦ USE CASES
Open-world desert games · driving and flight simulators · survival games · cinematics · level prototyping. The heightmaps also work in other tools: 16-bit PNG, north up, size and height range in the file name.
