Natural Appearance Powerful Fractal Generators. The theory of fractals provides nearly unlimited level of detail to your terrains. However, fractal terrains often lack diversity and are difficult to control. World Machine 2's Advanced Perlin Noise allows you to create very unique terrain types and styles, ranging from realistic to incredibly stylized.Graph Based Interface.

The shape of your world depends upon the components used to create it. World Machine uses a network-based (graph) user interface; these have been growing in popularity for a number of years. By stringing together components, you can achieve endless combinations of effects.Powerful Erosion Modelling. The natural world is not shaped merely by mathematics. Wind, water, and other chaotic processes are responsible for much of the appearance of our world. World Machine offers industry-leading erosion tools to help create natural appearing terrains. Powerful precipitation and river erosion models allow you to simulate millions of years of erosion.without having you wait around too long.Visual Design, Procedural Power Bridge the gap between artistically hand-crafted and fully artificial terrains.

New to World Machine 2 is a layout view that allows you to use vector-based drawing tools to manipulate your terrain. Combine the power of infinitely detailed fractals with intutively drawn shapes to define your major terrain features. Create Shapes to use as a base for further terrain synthesis. Insert Roads and other shapes that can realistically carve and fill the surrounding terrain. Draw Masks to control or limit effects to particular geographical regions. Interchange vector shapes with illustration and 3D packages using industry-standard file formats (SVG, AI)Texture your World. For the first time, World Machine can create not only the shape of your terrain, but the color of it.

Create megatexture-style high resolution texture maps for your external renderer or simulation engine, or create and export influence maps for traditional tiled texture rendering. To help deal with the complexity of crafting textures, World Machine 2 ships with a variety of pre-built macros that make assembling fantastic looking surface texture maps quite easy. In fact, most of the images you see here have had their texture maps created solely with one of these default macros!.

RGB data is manipulated in full 32bit floating point accuracy, and can be exported to 8 and 16bit/channel formats.One World. Many ViewsThe terrain you define in World Machine exists upon an endless plane; you can view or export as large or small a section as you prefer at any time. Your viewing options incude:. Realtime 3D Views: Every action you take is previewed immediately for the current rendering viewport in a fully 3D viewport.

Explorer View: Highly dynamic, Explorer View is not limited to merely showing you the current rendering area. Instead, you can fly, drive, or walk through the entire boundless world you have defined. Layout View: The complement to Explorer View, Layout View is an orthographic overhead view. Offering Google Maps-style navigation and an astounding zoom ratio greater than 10,000:1, Layout View allows you to design, plan, and inspect your world in full detail.

Be god for a day. World Machine helps you create realistic 3D terrain. More Powerful. We set out to make World Machine 2.3 a simple bug fix release. It grew to be more than that.Add variety with a Height ChooserCreating worlds with convincingly varying terrain character has always been difficult. It has gotten a bit easier thanks to this new device.Create a simple grayscale guide map and any number of terrain type inputs. The Height Choooser will decide which terrain to place where according to the guide map, smoothly blending between them.What’s more, you also get mask outputs showing where each terrain type was placed — very useful for further processing or texturing.Making a.

Splat.World Machine has always been able to produce excellent color maps for texturing. WM 2.3 introduces an exciting new way to manipulate your texture masks.The Splat Converter is a mask manipulation device that was designed to improve the ability to create so-called “ splatmaps” or “ weightmaps” for some modern game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine. A splatmap is essentially a guide bitmap indicating the influence of different terrain textures at each pixel.The Splat Converter helps you manipulate your masks destined for splatting. You can choose which material blends to favor, the exclusion amount (contrast), and of course enforce sums-to-one behavior across your masks.

The Splat Converter supports up to 16 channel splatmap sets for your highly varied scenes!ColorizerThe Colorizer is a simple but powerful way to define texture colormaps.The example above uses only a single Colorizer to achieve all of its texturing!You’ll find yourself using this handy new device all over the place in your texturing networks.Multiple Monitor Support Pro Edition OnlyIf you have multiple monitors, you probably don’t need to be told how useful they are!The Professional Edition now has multiple monitor support. Keep any views you want open on your additional monitor(s).Improved Tiling Pro Edition OnlySometimes you need to export a large and detailed world region that doesn’t fit well into a rectangle.The Tiled build engine now has support for exporting a complex tileset instead of a complete regular grid. Although the tiles are still indexed on a grid, you can choose to export only certain tiles to better handle irregular map areas without wasting time building areas you do not need.Tiled Input is similarly updated with support for missing tiles and pickable import regions.In addition, tiles with non-square dimensions are now fully supported.Higher Limits. Higher PerformanceAs the steady march of technology has continued, higher and higher resolutions become possible.Accordingly, all of the resolution limits in World Machine have been raised to let you work with higher detail previews, views, and builds.Of course, you will need a powerful workstation to perform at the new maximums.

Luckily, some of the remaining power-hungry devices have been multithreaded for higher performance. In addition, the Professional Edition can now use up to 32 cores!Also helping out, in a nice free upgrade the Standard Edition has gained 64bit support and 2-way multithreading.Play Better with OthersSome highly requested improvements have been made to the import and export options of World Machine:.

You can now import DXF polylines with elevations!A long requested feature, your Layout Generators can now import spline and line shapes with elevations from your favorite 3D software into World Machine. This makes it easy to imprint your terrain with geometry that you’ve already laid out instead of having to replicate it inside of World Machine. A highly requested feature, meshes may now be exported with their UV coordinates attached. For some workflows this cuts out an additional stop to assign a planar mapping.Additionally, tiled-build meshes are now placed automatically in their proper worldspace location so that your meshes line up right away. For the first time, World Machine can preserve all geolocation metadata using the.BT file format. You can now export your real world heightfields from GIS applications like, perform image processing on the heightfields, and save out the modified files with their geolocation data intact ( including writing a new.prj file).The world file shown to the right is an outline of how it’s done. Just connect the pass-through metadata output and inputs and you’re good to go!Extensive New ExamplesLearning how to use complex graphics software can be intimidating.To help out, we took some time to create a collection of several dozen new example files for World Machine.These files consist of both technique demonstrations and also more general example scenes for you to pick apart and see how they work.

Whether you’re importing and improving real world data, texturing, using layouts, or simulating lavaWe also added a “Open Example” menu shortcut to make the examples even easier to get at.All of the illustrations on this page are images from an example world. Look them up if you’re curious. And enjoy!and some Small TouchesThere are plenty of smaller improvements that nonetheless can be a real boon.

These include:You can now set a base elevation for the world that can be below zero. This small but important change makes matching to real world datasets a bit easier.World Machine now creates a handy palette of your most recently used devices along with any of your customized Favorites quick access list.Motion Blur can now be performed at any heading!You can now export 8 or 16bit per channel TIFF and PNG bitmap output files and other even smaller details all across the program (for example, parameters in a device might now properly enable or disable themselves).Major Bug FixesWorld Machine 2.3 was originally planned to be only a bug fix release. Even though we slipped more than a few new features into the release, the original goal was not forgotten. Quite a number of issues identified in previous versions of World Machine have been fixed.Memory-related errata in particular were heavily targeted.

We remodeled many parts of the core codebase to help prevent future issues and make future releases happen faster!
