Erosion2

Erosion2

Gaea 2 introduces a new erosion algorithm designed to work alongside the existing Classic Erosion, offering enhanced capabilities for terrain shaping.

New Features and Enhancements:

Properties

• Expanded Erosion Options: The new algorithm introduces additional parameters, allowing for more precise control over terrain erosion.

• New Terrain Shapes: Erosion_2 enables the creation of terrain features that were not possible with the previous algorithm.

• Terrain Character Preservation: The new algorithm better preserves the underlying characteristics of the original terrain during the erosion process.

• Side-by-Side Operation: Erosion_2 is fully compatible with Classic Erosion, allowing users to choose between or combine both algorithms for different results.

• Ease of Use: The controls for Erosion_2 have been simplified, making it easier to achieve desired outcomes.

• Deterministic Results: Erosion_2 maintains consistent, deterministic results without any loss in performance.

Erosion_2 also offers significant performance improvements, with speed boosts of up to 10x compared to Erosion_1, even when running on the CPU. his new algorithm strikes a balance between generating realistic erosion effects and allowing for artistic flexibility, making it possible to create terrain shapes that were previously challenging or impractical with Classic Erosion.
