The polar desert of Nunavut in Unity - 32 lowland maps of plateaus, gorges, terraces and tundra lakes

Low plateaus cut by branching valleys, gorges in flat-lying sandstone, terraced valley sides and lake plains near the sea, from the Queen Elizabeth Islands. LiDAR elevation data at 2 m per pixel keeps the gentle forms of the plains: one height level is only 5.6 to 25.8 mm. Each map covers 16.26 x 16.26 km (264 km²) with 184 m to 845 m of relief.

​

✦ INCLUDED

• 32 lowland heightmaps - 16-bit PNG, 8129 x 8129 px, north up
• Unity terrains from the exact pixels - 2 x 2 tiles of 4097 samples per map, unused edge strip cut with terrain holes
• Plateau Gorge, Terraced Plateau, Lake Plain - 9 demo scenes across Built-in, URP and HDRP
• Lakes and a sea inlet - Shore Water on Lake Plain, coloured by its real depth
• Terrain Builder - one click from any of the 32 PNGs to a real-scale terrain

​

✦ POLAR DESERT GROUND

• Eight 4K layers - bare desert pavement, crust soil, silt flats, sandstone talus, sandstone, raised-beach shingle, late snow and patterned ground
• Patterned ground - on the level, poorly drained flats away from the streams
• Sandstone beds - plateau edges and gorge walls take the colours of flat-lying beds
• Fine relief up close - small lumps and hollows below the 2 m data on the near ground, fading with distance

​

✦ PERFORMANCE

• Player builds at 3840 x 2160 - HDRP 107-151 FPS · URP 94-174 FPS · Built-in 146-444 FPS on an RTX 3090, no upscaling

​

✦ UNITY 2022.3 AND ABOVE

Built-in, URP and HDRP in one download; Project Setup enables terrain holes, Shore Water Setup the depth and opaque textures. Built-in demo levels have no post-processing.

​

✦ IDEAS

Rover and expedition games, arctic survival, driving and walking simulators, wide open-world plains and science visualisation.
