Ozark hollows, river bluffs and southern lowlands at their real size

34 real-world terrains from LIDAR elevation data (Arkansas 19, Alabama 13, Florida 2). Deep Ozark hollows and bluffs from Arkansas, branching valleys and escarpments from Alabama and the flat lowlands of Florida. 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

• 34 heightmaps - 16-bit PNG, 8129 x 8129 px, one folder per state, height range from 10.2 m to 425.0 m
• 3 demo levels x 3 render pipelines - 9 ready scenes to fly or walk through: Ozark Hollows, River Bluffs, Escarpment Bowl
• 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 (River Bluffs 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 153-176 FPS · URP 220-237 FPS · HDRP 161-186 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

✦ 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.
