Terrain Generator

Terrain generator is a desktop application that generates realistic 3d terrain by simulating hydraulic and thermal erosion over a high-resolution heightmap.

Features

  • A robust noise generator for creating base terrains
  • Terracing with independent noise layers that influence the height of terraces throughout the terrain
  • Hardness/softness maps with independent noise layers that influence material properties throughout the depth of the terrain
  • Custom hydraulic and thermal erosion algorithms that preserve key features of your base terrain
  • Height-based or projected color maps that can be influenced by erosion
  • Octaved erosion simulation for approximating large formations such as canyons and valleys that occur over long periods of time
  • Support for up 8192×8192 terrains for use in games and VFX
  • Exporting lossless data maps for use with third-party texturing and modeling tools:
    • Heightmap
    • Hydraulic flow map
    • Thermal deposition map
    • Slope map
    • Color map
