USA New England Real-World Terrains 8K

▶ Full 4K video showcase: https://youtu.be/tjP_8xm4WiM

New England's wooded hills, valleys and lake country at their real size

49 real-world terrains from LIDAR elevation data (Connecticut 36, Maine 13). Rolling uplands, steep valley sides and rocky ridges from Connecticut, and the mountains and lake country of Maine. 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.

✦ WHAT'S INSIDE

• 49 heightmaps - 16-bit PNG, 8129 x 8129 px, one folder per state, height range from 64.0 m to 972.8 m
• 3 demo levels x 3 render pipelines - 9 ready scenes to fly or walk through: Mountain Valley, Rugged Hills, Lake Country
• Terrain Builder - one click turns any heightmap into seamless real-scale Unity terrains
• USA ground look - 6 ground layers in 4K made for US forests, farmland and hills (meadow, forest floor, dry earth, scree, rock, gravel), painted automatically from slope and landform

✦ 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
• Lake water - taken from the flat lake surface in the elevation data (Lake Country demo level)
• Verify - compares every terrain height with the original pixels

✦ PERFORMANCE

• Native 3840 x 2160 - no upscaling, demo scenes in player builds: Built-in 146-178 FPS · URP 239-259 FPS · HDRP 157-178 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

✦ USE CASES

Open-world games · flight and driving simulators · hiking and survival games · cinematics · terrain studies. The heightmaps also work in other tools: 16-bit PNG, north up, size and height range in the file name.
