How It Works
Unlike traditional brush-based terrain editors, World Machine uses a procedural approach. Shape the terrain using basic building blocks such as fractals... then hit them with simulations of nature to create realistic features.
Simply wire together action boxes to create your world.
Here's a great landscape created in less than two minutes.
Shape
Import a hand drawn mockup if you'd like, or design completely within World Machine. You have plenty of tools available to tame those crafty fractal generators.
Texture
Create superb texturing by using information gathered during erosion.
Get nice results quickly by using some of our built-in macros and presets, or dive in deep and create sophisticated texturing networks of your own.
Whether megatexture or splat-map based, you'll create some awesome texture coverage for your terrain model.
Use
Import into your 3D app in a few simple steps. We provide workflow guides for the most popular software.
Export meshes, heightmaps, megatexture-style bitmaps, splat or weightmaps.
Or maybe some vegetation distribution or special zones.. the possibilies are endless.
