MapMagic World Generator

MapMagic World Generator

Welcome to MapMagic 2 - a platform for terrain creation and automatic game object placement.

This tool uses a node-based visual scripting interface to determine creation logic. Each node represents a separate algorithm called a “generator”. Examples of generators include: noise, voronoi, blend, curve, erosion, object scatter, forest, etc. All nodes are presented on a field called the “graph”.

Maps Sets Generators

Operate on several maps at once. Consider maps set as a <Texture,Map> dictionary, where each texture corresponds to terrain layer or grass diffuse texture.

Maps Set mainly have the same nodes as Maps - they are grouped in Standard category. Add Add (new)
