A mountain background depth map captures the varying distances of different parts of a mountainous landscape from the viewer, visualizing depth with a gradient effect. Closer elements like foreground rocks or trees appear lighter, while distant peaks and slopes gradually darken, creating a sense of spatial layering. This depth map allows 3D rendering programs to produce realistic lighting, fog effects, and atmospheric depth, enhancing the immersive quality of scenes set against mountainous terrain. It’s especially useful for creating dynamic visuals in animations, games, and virtual landscapes where realistic mountain vistas are desired
