SimpleForm

Creates simple mathematical pattern: gradient, pyramid or cone.

Use cases:

Used mainly to create gradients, for example, to blend biomes from North to South:

However, cone and pyramid modes could be handy too. The way to create a crater from Simple Form:

A Simple Form is used as a basic terrain for the island:

Cone could be transformed into a blob with a curve:

Properties:

  • Type:

    • Gradient X: fills a map with an x-axis aligned gradient.

    • Gradient Z: fills a map with an z-axis aligned gradient.

  • Pyramid: creates a pyramidal form.

    • Cone: creates a cone.
      Type: Cone, Pyramid, Gradient X, Gradient Z
  • Intensity: the height of the simple form figure.
    Intensity: 0, 0.5, 1, 2

  • Scale: sets the size of heightmap. By default size is equal to one chunk (terrain).
    Scale: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2

  • Offset: moves figure along X or Z-axis (in world units).

  • Wrap Mode: determines how the heightmap should be repeated so that every terrain point will not miss a map:

    • Once: repeat map only once
    • Tile: repeat map endlessly the way the standard texture could be tiled
    • PingPong: will mirror every 2nd map and repeat map endlessly. Use this if you want to fill your land with a figure that is not tilable.
      Wrap Mode: Once, Tile, PingPong
