42 mountain maps from the Canadian High Arctic - folded ridges, glacier valleys and limestone escarpments, at 2 m per pixel

The ranges of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, made from LiDAR elevation data: long ridges of bedded rock folded into parallel waves, peaks rising above a valley glacier, gullied hills and escarpments over broad valley floors. Up to 1,951 m of relief on a single map; each map covers 16.26 km on a side (264 km²).

✦ WHAT YOU GET

  • 42 heightmaps - 16-bit PNG at 8129 x 8129 px, from 512 m to 1,951 m of relief
  • Exact Unity terrains - 2 x 2 tiles of 4097 samples per map with no resampling; one height level is 15.6 to 59.5 mm
  • Glacier Valley Peaks, Folded Ridges, Escarpment Valley - the demo levels, each in Built-in, URP and HDRP
  • A glacier with a firn line - white firn above, bare grey-blue ice below and moraine bands along the flow, on Glacier Valley Peaks
  • Verify - compares the built terrain with every original pixel

​

✦ MOUNTAIN GROUND

  • 4K layers for rock and gravel - frost gravel, moss crust, valley silt, limestone talus, bedded limestone, outwash gravel, snowfields and glacier ice
  • Limestone beds - level bands of paler and darker rock on the cliffs and ridge crests, from a bed table per demo map
  • Talus where it belongs - the scree follows the steep slopes below the cliffs; outwash gravel spreads over the valley floors
  • Snow in the right places - late snow stays in the lee hollows and north-facing gullies, not as random spots
  • Clean steep faces - side projection keeps cliff textures sharp instead of stretched

​

✦ MEASURED AT NATIVE 4K

  • RTX 3090, player builds - HDRP 110-133 FPS · URP 114-156 FPS · Built-in 227-364 FPS

​

✦ REQUIREMENTS

Unity 2022.3 and above, with Built-in, URP and HDRP content in one package. The Project Setup window enables terrain holes in your pipeline asset. The Built-in demo levels have no post-processing and look simpler than URP and HDRP.

​

✦ GOOD FOR

Mountaineering and survival games, hiking and flight simulators, open-world ranges, film backdrops and studies of glacial landforms.
