Anastomosis


We are updating the docs...finally!
We are migrating our documentation and adding major updates. Please bear with us during this transtion.

Anastomosis


Anastomosis creates interconnected water flow based downcutting, ranging from small pits to large river channels. It can be used for roughening up a surface without losing the features of that terrain, and for deepening existing flow structures.

Before and after Anastomosis.

Using high Impact and Influence values in Destructive mode.

Using a high Impact value in Rivers mode.

Properties

  • Impact
    The intensity of the process. Higher values create stronger physical impacts within the erosion process.

  • Width
    The impact's reach or width. Higher values create wider areas of impact.

  • Depth
    The depth of the flow's impact. Higher values create deeper grooves in the terrain.

  • Downcutting
    The downcutting level as decided by water flow. Higher values take longer to process but create wider flows with longer impact profiles.

  • Quality

    The quality of the flow simulation.
