Non-destructive and with a 100% real-time workflow. Still N°1 since 2017.
Terrains of any Size
From small areas with just a few meters up to massive worlds spanning thousands of kilometers.
Terrains of any Type
From arid to vibrant landscapes, and from Earth-like planets to alien worlds, anything is possible.
Terrains for any Application
For Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Octane, Unity, Unreal, and any other DCC application and game engine.
Check out the examples below.
Each of them was created with World Creator and is included in your download after purchase, and you are free to use them for your own projects.
STEP 1
Create your Terrain Shape
Combine a procedural workflow with a design workflow to create the exact terrain you need.
Are you ready to unleash your creativity and sculpt your own terrain while World Creator procedurally enhances it on the fly during the entire design process? Do you want to bring in terrain bases developed elsewhere to make your vision come to life? Are you a fan of importing 3D models to layer the terrain base? Or perhaps you want to start with a real-world terrain and mix it in? Whatever you choose, go for it! Your creativity is your own, so have fun with it!
Import 2D data representation of terrains such as bitmaps and heightmaps, along with associated color-maps and stamp them on the terrain. You can also bring in terrain bases developed elsewhere, such as a modeling application or a game engine's terrain sculpting tools. Regardless of how you plan your terrains, you can bring them into World Creator to make them realistic.
Sign up at MapTiler and connect to their real-world data service through World Creator to effortlessly import the locations of your choice! With World Creator, utilizing real-world data for your productions is a breeze. Create multiple real-world data layers and mix them in with your existing terrain.
Primitives changed how artists crafted terrains. Instead of massaging simple noises like Perlin into a terrain, World Creator's primitives provide geologically sound starting points for your terrains. World Creator up-levels primitives by providing even more powerful shapes that reduce production time.
Bring in 3D terrain models developed elsewhere, such as a modeling applications. World Creator also imports your 3D models texture data to color the affected part of the terrain. The imported models will become part of the terrain and included in the final heigth-map and color-map export.
Just create a sculpt layer and begin painting your terrain using our powerful terrain paint tools. You can do this directly on the terrain in the viewport, in real-time. It's not just sculpting — you can paint filters, simulations, materials, and everything else to fully paint an amazing landscape!
Paint different types of surfaces on your terrain with our easy-to-use painting tools. Draw erosion, terraces, stylized hexagons, sediments, debris, or any other type of terrain surface in real time. Our paint tools also allow you to use a pen tablet, giving you complete artistic freedom.
Our vector-based path tools allow you to create roads, mountain ranges, canyons, and more, giving you unparalleled creative freedom. They are easy to use and straight forward. The created spline can be exported and used in other applications.
Creating realistic rivers in World Creator is incredibly easy and efficient. With just one click, our system automates the river creation process and gives you full control to re-design it as you see fit. The terrain will adapt automatically, allowing you to create stunning waterfalls, river deltas, and everything in between. Whether you need small streams or large, complex river structures, World Creator has got you covered.
STEP 2
Add a Pinch of Magic
Transform your terrain in real-time and make it looking real.
In World Creator, procedural filters are expertly applied to transform a terrain shape into a variety of stunning landscapes. Whether you're looking to create deserts, snowy mountains, arid canyons, volcano islands, wet highlands, Moon-like cratered landscapes or Mars-like worlds, our filters have got you covered. With the ability to apply erosions and sediments, you can easily style your terrain to achieve the perfect look in no time at all.
STEP 3
Add some Physics
Run powerful physically-based simulations, in real-time.
Creating a Simulation Layer and choosing the type of simulation, such as sand, is all it takes to get started. With the option to use brushes or procedural techniques, you can easily drop an adjustable amount of sand on the terrain and watch it distribute. Our user-friendly approach makes complexity accessible to everyone.
Harness the most sophisticated hydraulic erosion simulation available in CG. This flexible erosion helps convert any shape into a realistic terrain. World Creator's erosion system allows you to bring in the amount of rain, wind, surface behavior, deposition, and more to control every aspect of the erosion itself.
Easily simulate sand mechanics which to create beautiful talus, deserts and arid landscapes. It gives you deep control over the entire process.
Simulate mechanical erosion with thousands (even millions) of individual physical rocks and other geological debris using our GPU-powered particle simulation. You can keep them in the height map or export a point cloud for later use. You can use 2D maps for the debris style, or real 3D model scans, along with a built-in procedural debris generator to create the shape and color for each rock individually. Particles even collide with each other to create real-world debris.
Create complex snowfall scenarios with detailed control over every aspect - from sunlight's influence on melt to the amount of snow that adheres to the rock surface along with a full integrated avalanche simulation system.
Create lakes, rivers, and even seas that follow physical rules, which not only produce a body of water, but also correspondingly affect the surrounding environment.
STEP 4
Add a Dash of Color
The most powerful material system also supporting Adobe Substance materials.
World Creator has an incredibly compelling material system! You can define colors, sat-maps, textures, and Adobe Substance materials to color every single terrain feature. Whether you want simple colors to quickly tint your terrain, or textures and Adobe Substance materials to make it look fantastic, or gradients and sat-maps to take the coloring process to the highest possible level, World Creator has got you covered. With its real-time rendering, you can create outstanding landscapes that will leave you in awe!
Create a mask, assign it to a material and start painting colors, PBR textures, Sat-Maps and Adobe Substance Materials on your terrain at any location. It is as simple as using brushes in Adobe Photoshop. It's your creativity.
World Creator specializes in extracting data from various aspects of a terrain, and using that data to further modify and color the terrain. This can be as simple as elevation and slope or as complex as flow maps, soil distribution, particle simulation and more. The image above shows just 8 possibilities, but there are 15 different mask noise types, 8 different mask layer types and 14 different mask terrain types available. Combine these with so-called Effectors and you get an unlimited range of procedural masking possibilities.
World Creator lets you apply colors along the way minerals flow in nature. With that you can achieve amazing colorization resulting in ultra-realistic terrain surface colors. You can use simple colors, PBR textures, Sat-Maps / Gradients and even Adobe Substance Materials.
World Creator brings masking to a new level with its built in Distribution Effectors allowing you to further modify and transform Distribution Masks to make colors and filters look more natural. There are tons of such effectors included, such as Distort, Edge, Fast Flows, Simple Flows, Denoise, Blur, Angular Blur and many more.
Includes 140 Royalty-Free PBR Textures
Get access to 140 high-quality, royalty-free PBR textures and Adobe Substance materials right after your purchase to be used in your productions.
EXPORT
Release it to the Wild
Export your terrain to any DCC application available.
World Creator confidently supports exporting all created maps and data (e.h. height-map, color-map, splat-map, masks, ao-map, and more) in a wide range of formats, including Collada, OBJ, FBX, GLTF2, STL, TIFF, PNG, RAW (16 or 32-bit), and EXR (32-bit), among others. This ensures that your assets can be loaded into any serious 3D DCC application or game engine, providing the broadest industry coverage possible. Get ready to take your creations to the next level with World Creator!
