About
Original metre-scale CC0 desert construction library. Canyon walls and ground tiles use a 4 m grid; dune ridges use an 8 m repeat. Geometry distinguishes erosion forms, cactus habits and wind-shaped sand. Clumps of repeated canonical plants appear only in composed scenes.
Files load directly from the CDN. Choose the pieces you need. Colliders, navigation and gameplay scripts are supplied by your game.
