Mars 16K Photorealistic

Mars 16K Photorealistic Low-poly 3D model

Description

Overview

The asset combines an optimized mesh with 16K physically accurate equirectangular textures, seamlessly mapped without polar distortion. Designed for film, games, VR, AR, and fulldome environments. Ready to import and render immediately, with all materials embedded. Includes a volumetric atmosphere for ray traced engines and, in Unity, a custom atmospheric shader that simulates sunsets using color gradients and Fresnel effects without requiring additional setup.

Scientific Background

This 3D representation of Mars is based on scientific data about its surface composition and atmospheric behavior. The physically based textures capture iron oxide rich terrains, dust storm traces, polar deposits, and thin cloud formations. Multiple cloud layers are provided to reflect observed water ice and carbon dioxide cloud patterns from NASA missions such as Viking, Mars Global Surveyor, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Technical Features

  • Textures 16384 × 8192 px: Color, Roughness, Normal, Displacement
  • Cloud texture sets 16384 × 8192 px each: Clouds A Color, Clouds A Normal, Clouds B Color, Clouds B Normal
  • Icosahedral mesh with continuous spherical projection without seams or polar distortion
  • Calibrated PBR materials for high fidelity rendering
  • Integrated volumetric atmosphere for ray tracing and a Shader Graph atmospheric solution for real time in Unity

Included Formats

  • Blender 4.5 (.blend) with Cycles and Eevee materials, volumetric atmosphere, and embedded 16K JPG textures
  • Unity 2022 URP (.unitypackage) with atmospheric shader for sunsets, Fresnel effects, and embedded 16K JPG textures
  • 3ds Max 2022 with V Ray (zip) including volumetric atmosphere and embedded 16K JPG textures
  • Uncompressed 16K PNG texture set for maximum visual fidelity

Key Benefits

  • Production ready with no need to assign materials or adjust shaders
  • Ideal for VFX, VR, AR, scientific visualization, matte painting, and cinematic space scenes
  • Free lifetime updates including future improvements and variations

Current Version: 5.28

Created for professionals who need reliable assets with minimal setup time.

I really like this mode. Though, I need to scale it up to work with a space craft model I'm working on and it was a fair bit of extra work on my part (though I'm a total Blender amateur). I'd love for these to be "real" scale in the future so it would be compatible with nice space ship shots from realistic orbits.
