Floor tiles and ground surfaces: 23 3D models for D&D maps
Floors are what the tile brush paints and the room tool lays down: scanned and generated PBR surfaces sized to the 5-foot grid, so a dungeon corridor or a tavern floor tiles without seams. They drape over terrain, so a cobbled road follows the hill it runs over.
23 of these 23 models are CC0 or CC BY and can be downloaded as GLB from their page. Every one is ready to place in TerrainTale, where the free plan includes the whole library.
Using floor tiles and ground surfaces on a battle map
- Pick one main floor and one accent: a flagstone hall with a worn rug strip reads better than five materials.
- Use a rougher surface to mark difficult terrain, so players see rubble or mud before you say it.
- Outdoors, paint soft ground with the ground brush and keep tiled floors for built places; the edge between them tells the story.
