Will L3DT work for me?
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 11:22 pm
I'm considering buying the pro edition of L3DT, but I want to verify that it will work for the things I want:
* My map is very high resolution--it's an earth sized planet that is 1 pixel per square mile, so it's about 25,000x12,500 pixels. Will L3DT handle a map that size?
* I want physically realistic terrain, and ideally L3DT can generate things like realistic mountain ranges and other geographical features, ie. tectonics, not just fractal noise. Can L3DT do this?
* The actual thing I mainly want L3DT to do is realistic hydraulic erosion. I would love it if it could generate the realistic terrain as in the point above, but I can live with having to generate that outside the program as long as it'll do high quality erosion / river generation on the height map I generate.
I attached examples of what I'm after:
zoomed out the heightmap would look something like this:
And here's a closer shot of a coastline with rivers, etc:
Thanks!
