What's new in Instant Terra Pro v1.12?

Snow

Two new nodes: Snow and Advanced snow. Both nodes can be used with the Colorize or Advanced Colorize nodes or by themselves.

The Snow node: achieve realistic snow coverage in 2 clicks. Play with the lowest altitude and the deposition angle and easily achieve very satisfactory results.
The Advanced Snow node for maximum detail. Monitor your snow coverage, control all the details, and achieve a multitude of results with the Advanced snow node.

Make your graphs much simpler and more readable using the new Multi Blend node. Blend any number of terrains or masks with one single node as layers, instead of a series of blend or composition nodes that handle only 2 terrains or masks. Disable layers and change their order.

UI/UX/Ergonomy

Keep the aspect ratio when scaling terrains or masks with a Full Composition or a Transform node.
	Edit the Color ramp values to get accurate results.
Use the Global settings to choose if a partially selected node is added or not to the rectangle selection.
	A new handy shortcut: click Alt+left mouse button on a node, link, or connector to delete it and all the links attached to the connector.

What's new in nodes?

Has color map

This node retrieves the information if a terrain has or has not a color map. When used with a Select node, switch from one to another branch of your graph based on the color map status.

Split color map

The Split color map node has an additional output: the alpha channel of the color map. If the color map has no transparency, the alpha channel is white.
