Many new features and enhancements in this release!

Painted mask:

Stylus pen pressure and new brushes

Pen pressure

If you work with a graphics drawing tablet, you can now use pen pressure to drive the brush size and/or intensity.

Three different brushes available

Three different brush profiles are now available for a wider range of results.

Additionally, the brush profile currently used, based on the selected brush and the value of the Hardness parameter, is displayed in the parameters window.

Automatic upscaling

A natural complement to the World Browser, automatic upscaling is now available.

Use the automatic Upscaling node after importing your low-resolution regions.
The Upscaling node improves your low-resolution heightmaps and produces a higher-resolution terrain.

Same heightmap after upscaling (quad size: 1m)

Use the Upscaling node along with a Colorize Satellite map node to render your terrain easily.

Soften terrains

Use the new Soften node to smooth your terrains. The effect can be applied over the entire terrain or driven by a mask. Add additional noises to the final result.
In this example, we use a gradient mask to apply the Soften effect.

Paths generator

The new Path node produces a mask containing a set of curves. Although this is mainly designed to position rivers on your flat terrains, different uses can be achieved with this new node.
In our sample, we provide three different ways to:
  • Generate a river in a rocky landscape
  • Generate a network of marshes
  • Generate a path around a lake

How will you use the Path generator?

In Instant Terra Pro v1.14, you'll also find...

You can now control the intensity of the contrast between the different colors of the theme.

Water level nodes: support of transparency
