Recurve

Recurve is a curvature-based expander node. It can inflate and/or deflate the terrain to create stronger slopes and larger, softer formations from a given noise or terrain.

Despite appearances, Recurve's output is very sensitive to subtle changes in the source heightfield. For example, if prior to Recurve you apply MicroErosion or Breaker, then Recurve will create a very specific flow pattern on those grooves and valleys.

Properties

• Power The strength of the inflate/deflate operation. Higher values cause drastic shifts in shape formation.

• Scale The amount of details to preserve. Higher values cause more prominent shapes to form.

• Iterations The number of times the process should be repeated.

• Style

  • Inward: Expand the terrain.

  • Outward: Shrink the terrain.
