Topography is realistic and it is based on 8m spatial resolution dem, what is hard to make for this area but it is the most accurate. Real world scale is 67.600 km x 67.600 km. Elevation is from 2757 m to 8864 m (Everest). Prominent 8000+ m high mountains in that area are Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and many over 7000m+. Textures are my artistic representation of that area.

Mesh is 16 million, but I also included lower poly mesh – 4M in separate folder. Alternatively you can use height (displacement) map and control number of polygons. The setup uses tiling to get more details, even if textures are lower res. I prepared it for 3ds max Vray and Blender to work out of the box. Because tiling, triplanar mapping, mat blending,… if you will use it it any other software, you need to set up blending materials and using masks manually. I mean masks, textures, mesh, instructions which layer uses which mask and goes where are added, you just need some extra work then. Since masks are used it is simple to change overall look, remove layers such as melting snow flow,..

Note: There are small differences between between 3ds Max and Blender setups. Background environment maps (clouds) are not included. Some renders were made with Vray (Max), some with Cycles (Blender).

Hope you like it!
