Oasis and arch

Walk a 56 by 44 metre stretch of desert built from the Desert Canyons and Oases pack: a date-palm oasis, a walkable natural arch, hoodoos, a balanced rock and two buttes, window rock and spires, and cactus flats.

About

One desert scene from 24 of the pack's 88 models, on plain sand in the outdoor preset with warm light and a pale horizon.

You start on the sand looking at the oasis: the pool, six date palms and reed beds. Beyond it the large walkable natural arch closes the north end between the desert butte and the talus-skirt butte. The hoodoo trio, a slender capped hoodoo, the pedestal rock and the sandstone fin wall are on the east; the balanced rock, window rock and the erosion spire cluster on the west. Cacti, shrubs, agave, yucca, boulder clusters and tumbleweeds are scattered across the flats.

Nothing moves: this pack ships without animation clips. The terrain tiles, dunes and canyon walls in the pack are not placed here; the ground is the demo's plain floor.

Every piece here is a published model from the pack, placed by hand. Walk with the keys or touch, and approach a piece to see it move if it has animation. Colliders, navigation and gameplay are yours to add.
