Bring your outdoor scenes to life with these free assets

Create your very own vision of the great outdoors with a range of free assets from The CRYENGINE Marketplace.

Create amazing landscapes and beautiful Sandbox levels by checking out a range of free outdoor assets from the CRYENGINE Marketplace, including textures, vegetation, and water. These assets are perfect for using in conjunction with our tutorial series, which will show you how to master CRYENGINE's powerful Environment Editor. The series is a practical, step-by-step multi-part series hosted by our Learning Manager, Brian Dilg, and naturally, we recommend that you begin with part one.

Regardless of whether you wish to follow the tutorial, you'll want to check out the Environment Preset Pack, which includes thirteen environment preset files, covering a range of environment and time of day styles, from dawn to dusk. Each can be copied into any project and can be used and tweaked immediately to find the right mood for your scenes.

Accompanying the Environment Preset Pack is our Terrain Example Pack. This collection includes three preset terrain examples, including height data. They can be imported into Sandbox to use in any project, and you can adjust them for your needs. They will also help you to follow along with Brian's tutorial.
