Adding a Path node
This node is used to generate pseudo-random paths. The main use is the creation of rivers, but there are certainly other possible uses.
To add a mask Path node, right-click in the Graph Editor and select Create Node > Mask Generation > Path or use the keyboard shortcut N-M-P-A (Node Mask PAth).
Double click on the node to open its parameters:
Editing a Path node
To edit the Path node:
- Mask size: Set the Height, Width, and Quad size of the mask or select a size preset from the list.
- The Scale parameter is used to define the scale of the path. Use the slider to set the value (small value in the left image; large value in the right image):
- The Detail parameter allows you to add more or less details. Use the slider to set the value (small details value in the left image; medium details value in the middle; large details value in the right image).
- The Thickness parameter allows you to adjust the thickness of the path (thin in the left image; thick in the right image).
- The Seed parameter allows you to choose a
random profile for the path: each new value gives a new path.
Different values are available from 1 to 1 000 000.
