More materials

Black Volcanic

Black volcanic sand material: near-black basalt grains that glitter hard in low, raking light. For dramatic, high-contrast 3D scenes.

Sand

Dune Sea Dusk

Dusk desert sand material: tall dunes raked by a deep-orange setting sun, with ripples streaming on a strong wind. For cinematic desert scenes.

Sand

Sahara Dune

Golden desert sand for 3D scenes: wind-combed ripples crawling downwind under a high, dry sun, with grains that glint.

Sand

Pink Coral

Blush-pink coral sand material: calm, fine shell sand with a gentle shimmer. For beach, tropical and soft pastel 3D scenes.

Sand

Wet Shore

Damp beach sand material at golden hour: darker, packed sand with fine, even wave ripples and bright quartz glints.

Sand

Lunar Regolith

Moon dust material: gray regolith under a harsh white sun and near-black sky, with faint sparkle and dead-still ripples. For space scenes.

Sand

Works well with

Canyon

A placeable patch of canyon country: stratified mesas cut by a branching incised channel network, easing down to its base at the edge. Footprint is the object's scale. Use for red-rock deserts, western and Mars scenes.

Land

Dunes

A placeable patch of sand dunes: asymmetric wind-driven ridges with gentle windward and steep slip faces, easing down to its base at the edge. Footprint is the object's scale. Use for desert spots, beaches and Mars scenes.

Land

Environment effects

Placeable 3D weather: rain, snow, sandstorm, rainbow, tornado and thunderstorm, each filling a volume you size and move.

Object

Falling Leaves

Leaves drifting past the object, each one integrating the Andersen-Pesavento-Wang falling-plate equations, so they flutter, glide and tumble like real leaves.

Effect

Flock

Turn a 3D object into a flock of birds that takes off and flies away, or stays perched in its shape. Reverse flies them home.

Object effect

Ivy

Grow ivy over a 3D object: vines creep along its real surface and leaves unfurl. Reverse withers it away.
