• The swamp (15): bald cypress, a large one and a dead one, all hung with Spanish moss, cypress knees, mangroves on their stilt roots, a snag, a rotting log and a stump with shelf fungus, lily pads in flower, sawgrass, glowing toadstools, a swamp bush and swamp pinks.
• The jungle and the beach (25): palms straight, tall, bent and young, a banana, a tree fern, bamboo, a kapok on its buttress roots, canopy trees hung with vines, elephant ears, broadleaf plants, heliconia, bromeliads, jungle ferns and a bush; coconuts, driftwood, dune grass, basalt boulders and a pile, and basalt cliffs.
• The savanna (19): acacias flat-topped, small and dead, a baobab, a thorn bush and a savanna bush, golden grass tall and short, termite mounds, an aloe in flower, a candelabra euphorbia, granite boulders and a kopje, an antelope's skull, and pink granite cliffs.

• Ground and water (45): 4 m tiles of sand, red sand, cracked earth, snow, tundra, ice, bog, swamp mud, jungle floor, beach, savanna grass, red earth, autumn grass, leaf litter, alpine meadow and scree; each biome's edge between its two grounds, straight and round its corners; the swamp's water and the sea, and their shores straight and round their corners. They meet any way round, so a dry lake, a frozen clearing, a pond, a bay or a scree field lays out in minutes.
• 41 trees sway in the wind, their crowns as their own parts, so your code can drive them too.
• A demo level, seven valleys in a row walled by their own rock, a trail east through the passes between them.
• 16 seamless ground textures (64 px a metre) as their own PNGs, for your own terrain, and an icon per piece.
• One 2048x2048 texture atlas for the whole pack, shading baked into the vertex colours, real-world scale.

Made to go with PSX Forest

The woods themselves are PSX Forest's: pines, oaks, birches, a cabin, a ranger station and a lake. This pack is grown from the same trees and tiles, so its 4 m ground and cliffs line up with Forest's, and a trail can walk out of the woods into the snow or down to a swamp.

Under a PSX Skyboxes sky

The captures' skies are from PSX Skyboxes, PS1-style panoramas and cubemaps for Godot and Unity: a desert sunset, an overcast day over the snow, a sickly fog on the swamp, the jungle's clouds, a clear day over the alpine meadow.

Godot 4.3 to 4.7

An addon with a scene per piece: box colliders on the trunks, cacti, rocks and cliffs, none on grass, ferns and flowers, so the player walks through them; an AnimationPlayer on every tree that sways, one lit material so your lights fall on it, and a gallery with the level to walk. Tested on Godot 4.3 and 4.7, on Forward+, Mobile and Compatibility.

The full PS1 look

The pack is made for PSX Look, our PS1 shaders for Godot 4: wobbling vertices, warping textures, 240p, dither and 15-bit colour, over your level in one line. The captures on this page are the pack through it.

Unity 6.3

A .unitypackage with a prefab per piece (colliders and the trees' sway clips), a PSX unlit shader for Built-in and URP, a demo scene and the level to walk. The Unity gallery starts on one piece: arrows browse, A shows the catalog, drag orbits, right-drag pans and the wheel zooms.

Other engines

GLB, FBX (animations as takes) and OBJ, one file per piece, with the atlas, and the whole pack in one .blend with the demo level as its own scene.
