Pink Coral

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

Sand

Black Volcanic

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

Sand

Red Outback

Iron-red desert sand material with steep, strong wind ripples under a warm orange-tinted sun. For outback, desert and rugged 3D 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

Zen Garden

Raked zen garden sand material: pale, deep, regular grooves held perfectly still under calm, even light. For minimal and meditative 3D scenes.

Sand

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

Works well with

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

Aurora

Flowing color ribbons (northern lights). Use for polar, atmospheric, magical-curtain effects.

Effect

Dandelion Seeds

Dandelion seeds let go of the head one by one and drift away: a high-drag pappus gives them a slow terminal fall, and curl-noise wind with updrafts carries them. Use for meadow, summer, wish, gentle scenes.

Effect

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

Firefly Swarm

Kuramoto-coupled fireflies drifting on a divergence-free flow: random blinking slowly locks into sync, with ripples of light rolling through the swarm. Use for night, garden, forest, magical scenes.

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.
