Terra xL: 3D scans of real mountains for your VFX and design projects

3D render showing one of Terra xL's mountain scans imported into Unreal Engine, with detailed PBR textures.

Real mountains for virtual worlds

Terra xL arrives to revolutionize the creation of natural environments, offering ready-to-use 3D scans of real mountains. 🏔️ Founded by Logan Turner, this project combines photogrammetry with drones to capture the grandeur of European and Canadian mountain ranges, delivering assets with PBR textures in 4K/8K. And the best part: its initial pack is completely free, including three models for commercial use.

Kitbash landscapes without sculpting

The advantages of Terra xL:

Real scans: Authentic topographies captured with drones
Complete PBR textures: Albedo, normals, roughness and more
Multiple LODs: Optimized for virtual production and animation
Universal formats: OBJ ready for Blender, Maya, Unreal and others

A lifesaver for environment artists tired of generating procedural mountains. 🌄

From the real world to render in one click

These assets are perfect for:

Matte painting backgrounds with real base
Virtual production in real time
Quick blocking of natural environments
3D references for concept art

And although they are designed as modular blocks, their detail allows them to be used as main elements. All without the headaches of World Machine or Gaea.

"Finally mountains that don't look like copies of Bryce 3D... because they are real"

Extreme photogrammetry adventures

Behind these scans there are epic stories:

Captures in blizzards at 2,400 meters altitude
Drones flying in extreme conditions
Processing of terabytes of data

So the next time you complain that Substance Painter takes forever to bake your normals, remember: at least you're not on a frozen Greek mountain freezing your fingers for digital art. ❄️
