Erosions, hydraulic, thermal and more

Simulate erosion

Create realistic terrains with erosion simulation.
Use masks to drive and control the effects.

Erosion: ultra-fast, realistic & deterministic

Use and combine the different algorithms: Hydraulic erosion, rock erosion, mountain erosion, sedimental erosion, flow simulation, multi-erosion.

User control: Use masks to control where and how the simulation runs and achieve unique effects on different parts of your terrain.

Avoid the non-realistic alignment effects

Unlike most erosion simulations, Instant Terra's advanced algorithms generate erosion that doesn’t follow the world axes, providing results with more realism and diversity.

Hydraulic erosion

Create erosion effects by rainfall and river flows. Add realistic small-scale details to your terrains.

Rock erosion

Simulate realistic rock erosion from the movements of sediment due to gravity.

Mountain erosion

Simulate the effect of fluvial erosion and rock weathering over a wide time span.

Sedimental smoothing

Simulate the effect of sedimental deposition due to the general weathering of the terrain.

Flow simulation

Simulate water movement on a landscape and generate different flow maps.

Multi-erosion

A ready-to-use component running a combination of the different algorithms to achieve stunning results.

Thermal erosion

Thermal erosion is similar to hydraulic erosion, with the addition of the possibility that the banks of the rivers collapse, giving rise to wider rivers.

Multi-scale erosion

The Multi-scale erosion node erodes the terrain at different scales. It can erode the terrain more significantly than the Hydraulic or Thermal erosion nodes.

2D flow map

The 2D flowmap node produces a vector map. The direction and norm of each vector correspond to the direction and the quantity of the water flow.
