Landscape Height Maps
Height Maps for video games, animations or 3D enviroments
You may need to scale the height of the terrain, depending on what 3D application you use, to get the best effect. When importing the height map you may find the edges get stretched or don’t fit exactly – this can be fixed by cropping the height map or using any available sculpt tools to smooth out the edges. These height and diffuse maps are provided under a creative commons no attribution license.
A pack of height maps including 4k versions of the 2k versions posted here – will be on sale soon and a link will be added when ready.

The Diffuse map is an EXR and is saved in a linear format so may look washed out. Please increase the gamma to adjust the look.
