worldengine VS SimpleHydrology

Step 1: Get Worldengine and install it. There's instructions on how to do this on the github page. I use Linux but there's binaries and steps for Windows there as well.

The results look fantastic! I wonder, how difficult would it be to replace/supplement the base Perlin-Noise heightmap with a .png heightmap or DEM? I've been working with https://github.com/Mindwerks/worldengine for years but upscaling and eroding the heightmaps has always been a struggle.

I wanted to install this tool right here: https://github.com/Mindwerks/worldengine

I recently came across this neat-looking tool for world generation. https://github.com/Mindwerks/worldengine/ This looked perfect, so despite my lack of knowledge of programming I jumped in... but the guides seems to be outdated? For example, the guide for installing on Windows assumes that we are still using Python 2.7 & Windows 7. Is it outdated? Or is there other method that I am not aware of?

From the same github, you might be interested in https://github.com/Mindwerks/worldengine which uses platec but simulates more than just tectonics.

This was generated using an erosion simulation (source-code: https://github.com/weigert/SimpleHydrology).

You can find the code here: https://github.com/weigert/SimpleHydrology

SimpleHydrology now supports infinitely large maps. This was solved by making a memory pool for all map properties, requesitioning buckets for individual map-nodes and rewriting the erosion code to run on these chunks. The limit is really your memory now (and patience).

Full, updated and cleaned code now available here.

The full code is available here. Written in C++ with TinyEngine.

I have been playing with my SimpleHydrology system [Github Link] over the holidays and decided to implement momentum conservation for the particle-based erosion system. This, together with some minor parameter tweaks, lets me get nice meandering river behavior.

This is a simulation of wind flow over procedural terrain using my own GPU accelerated implementation of the lattice boltzmann method. All implemented and visualized in TinyEngine (by me). Terrain generated using SimpleHydrology (also by me). The source for this is not released (yet!). This scene is 100% procedural.

With a better visualization of the streamlines, some performance optimization and nicer procedural terrain (generated using SimpleHydrology) this looks really nice!

Sure, full source here.

Sure, I can outline some basics. You can also read this thread for a small discussion.
