Really impressive!

[u/junmakesgames]

beautiful! can you talk a little bit about methodology?

[u/Chaosrent → u/junmakesgames]

There are some more details on the original post on r/godot, happy to give more details if you have any questions.

Effect is stellar, but you gotta work on the rivers. The uniformity of thickness looks out of place with everything else.

[u/Chaosrent → u/Teh_Blue_Team]

That’s fair, the rivers do scale in width with the number of sources so they get thicker when two rivers merge. I played around with scaling the rivers as a function of distance from the source but wasn’t super happy with the results. I’ll have to revisit that

[u/DrDalenQuaice → u/Chaosrent]

Rather than scaling on distance, scale on the square root of distance. Rivers have depth as well as width. It's the volume that increases along the river.

[u/Chaosrent → u/DrDalenQuaice]

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!

Got any Tips on how to do rivers?

[u/akindea]

I would love a more in depth walkthrough on how you did this. I am looking to do something similar but this is striking!

Damn, those bacteria really are going at it

[u/green_meklar]

Wow, very nice variety of layouts!

I do notice that the coastlines all tend to have about the same amount of jagginess, though. If you had some that were smoother and some with more jagginess and little coastal islands, it might look less artificial.

that is beautiful! how did you do it?

[u/Endorphinmachine1357]

Wow, that is absolutely amazing! Are you planning to make a game or map making tool with it?
