Mountains and High Peaks Landscape Height Maps Pack

A pack of 10 Mountain and High Peaks landscape height maps at 4k (4096 x 4096) each. There is also an additional Bonus Height map (called ‘Arid Peak’) making a total of 11 height maps.

These have been made for a general purpose approach and for creating mountain landscapes or backgrounds for video games, movies, short films, still renders and animations. These can be used for a wide range of applicaitons and environments. There pack ranges from desert mountains to snowy landscapes. There height maps that range from terraced and to mountain ranges.

Pack Technical Details:

Each Landscape Contains the Following Files:

  • Height Map (PNG)
  • Diffuse Map (PNG)
  • Normal Map (PNG)

In some cases where there is a river or sea then an additional heightmap has been included without the sea. This is primarily for use in video games so you want to see a lake or sea using a different plane then it will save some time sculpting or editing the landscape. But this does also create additional bonus landscapes with variations of lakes or sea, or with no lakes or sea.

For Example See Image below (also contains 2 preview images)

Or in cases where there are water bodies as part of the landscape – there are the additional files included:

Technical Details:

Texture Size: All textures are 4k and non-tiling.

Please note: The provided diffuse textures only work at a far distance from the height map. See example images. So up close and these do get pixelated (this is a common effect of any landscape height map if using one texture). If used in a games engine – a landscape material will be required. (No game engine Landscape Materials are provided in this pack).

Set Height Maps to non-Color: If using in a 3D application please remember to set the height map to a non-color when uploaded into the 3D program. If non-color is not selected then the scaling can be incorrect as these are not color maps.

For Example in blender see that color space is set to non-color

Further Info:

These are general purpose landscape height maps and were not created for a specific program. Hence they are provided as PNGs which is a commonly accepted format in most 3D modelling and Games Engine software.
