TerraformFX

TerraformFX is the powerful, art-directable terrain generator for Cinema 4D. It allows users to build highly customizable landscapes by layering noises, shaders, textures, splines, and gradients.

As part of our INSYDIUM Fused Collection, TerraformFX enables you to build terrains with ease; you can create an infinite number of landscapes in high resolution. Place mountains, lakes, and rivers where you need them. All aspects of the terrain generation are editable, so you have total control over your environments.

Why TerraformFX?

TerraformFX is fully art-directable; you can add mountains, hills, valleys, and rivers. Adjust and fine-tune using various filters. Choose from multiple blend modes, shaders, and masking options to make your landscape truly unique.

An intuitive and flexible workflow enables you to generate the geometry in almost any resolution.

Being fully multi-threaded means TerraformFX is fast and efficient, making use of all your machine’s available CPU threads.

Generators

Generators are a type of operator object in TerraformFX. Unlike filters, generators are used to add new features to your terrain, generating mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, and more. They can also be blended using the many available blend modes.

TerraformFX provides you with several different generators.

• Noise operator
• Shader operator
• Spline operator
• Gradient operator
• Group operator

Filters

Filters are the second type of operator object in TerraformFX. While generators are used to add new features to your terrain, filters will alter, adjust, and fine-tune it to your needs.

TerraformFX provides you with several different filters.

• Adjustment operator
• Curve operator
• Fold operator
• Blur operator
• Sharpen operator
• Clamp operator
• Erosion operator
• Mirror operator
• Quantize operator

tfWarp

tfWarp distorts the input height field using a low-res control grid of 2D displacement vectors. As a result, users can shape their landscape, paint in curves, sculpt a river and, by adding in more grid points, can create even more detail.

More Key Features

Terrains in TerraformFX are built from operator objects, grouped as children under a terrain object. The terrain object evaluates its child operator objects in order from the top-down, blending each operator with the result of the previous operators, and generates the terrain geometry from their cumulative effects.

Erosion Operator

This operator simulates the effect of natural abrasion and erosion on the terrain. Currently, three kinds of erosion are supported: thermal weathering, coastal and hydraulic. Hydraulic erosion uses both 2D particles and is fully integrated with X-Particles. Thus, enabling you to combine X-Particles modifiers for complete control over how the erosion simulation works.

Rock Object

The procedural Rock Object enables you to generate rocks and create custom rock-shaped objects.

Terrain Shader

With the Terrain Operator Shader, you can access the height field data as per object maps. Furthermore, artists can have complete control over masking to create any type of landscape material they need.

tfErosion Snow

Adds snowy material to your terrains, control the look of the snow using three settings, iterations, radius, and lift. Use the radius setting to alter the detail retained after the snow erosion. Using Iterations controls how many times the simulation is run; the more iterations you have the more snow you have. Finally, lift controls the snowfall depth in your terrains; all these settings enable you to manipulate placement for added realism.

tfGrid

Adds a grid operator with adjustment handles to your terrain; with these, you can adapt and manipulate the landscape, including a new grid brush to smooth, elevate, paint and sculpt the land.

tfPath

A procedural path operator adds a custom spline to drop into the terrain and generate paths and roads in the landscape. Use in conjunction with tfRoad to create the finer road details.

tfRoad

As part of tfPath, the new tfRoad generates a procedural road based on the path, with built-in cloning for adding roadside structures such as street lamps, traffic lights, steel barricades, or trees to make the road more realistic.

MeshTools

MeshTools is a suite of powerful procedural modeling tools to affect the geometry and generate splines.

MeshTools is a crucial component of our INSYDIUM Fused Collection. Enabling users to model with total artistic control allowing them to keep their mesh geometry live while stacking up the mesh tools to create multiple effects.

Why MeshTools?

A valuable addition to the INSYDIUM Fused Collection, MeshTools enables users to stack and combine tools in an almost infinite, non-destructive number of ways to create unique structures or modify surfaces on existing meshes.

Equally as impressive is the ability to drill down and use individual tools to help with modeling workflows. For example, creating a spline version of your mesh was previously very destructive; now, it is procedural and effortless with mtEdgeSpline.

MeshTools is a user-friendly plugin that helps artists generate faster iterations of ideas by unlocking non-destructive procedural workflows.

mtFractal

Create fractals based on input geometry; mtFractal enables users to generate intricate fractals using the preset patterns, such as Tree, Sphere, Koch, Fibonacci, Dragon, and Fern.

You can stack different fractals to make unlimited designs – animate angles and offsets for stunning motion graphics. Fractals can be created based on Splines or Geometry, you can then assign an emitter to spawn particles onto the newly made fractal geometry, which can then be used within the X-Particles system.

mtDualGraph

mtDualGraph generates a new topology from the original base mesh using the classic Dual Graph to change the base mesh into new triangulated or Ngon cells. For an entirely new geometry, stack other MeshTools on top for stunning mesh generation.

mtInset

mtInset generates a procedural inset (inner extrude) on the polygon faces of the mesh. Use selection maps, textures, shaders, or falloff to define where the inset happens on the mesh surface. Generate selection sets from the new faces for additional control.

More Key Features

We create plugins that provide users with a whole armory of tools to help them develop their artwork. MeshTools has many features that will enable our users to have complete artistic control when carrying out modeling tasks.

mtPolyScale

Take an input geometry such as a plane use selection maps, textures, shaders, or falloff. mtPolyScale will scale down the faces for procedural growth.

mtRemesh

Remeshes the input geometry into a Delaunay triangulation-based mesh surface. Create controllable uniform or adaptive triangulation over the mesh for simulation and rendering tasks.

mtSplineSample

mtSplineSample lets you resample the input spline to add uniform, adaptive and distance point distribution modes. This provides even, controllable points on the spline data, making it easier to work with along the design chain.

mtShellGen

mtShellGen generates a procedural shelling (extrude) from the mesh surface. Textures, shaders, or falloff can define where this happens. You can bevel the new faces and generate selection sets from the caps and rounding for further control.

mtSubDivider

mtSubDivider procedurally subdivides the base mesh. Use selection maps, textures, shaders, or falloff to define where the subdivision happens on the mesh surface. Generate selection sets from the new subdivided and non-subdivided faces.

mtEdgeSpline

mtEdgeSpline lets you generate edge splines from the base mesh, use curvature, contour, outlines, and intersection modes for unique edge effects. Use selection maps, textures, shaders, or falloff to define where the splines are created on the mesh surface.

mtSelect

mtSelect generates selection sets for points, edges, and faces using selection maps, textures, shaders, or falloff to define where on the mesh surface. Use the new selection in any other mesh tool to generate new effects.

mtShortestPath

mtShortestPath generates pathway splines across the mesh surface using a start point and end point and finding the shortest path between them. Use custom selections for even more control.

Viewport Selections

Unique to MeshTools, get full control over live selection set display and color, view real-time changes to your MeshTool selections.

Cinema 4D Integration

Using MeshTools will feel familiar to Cinema 4D users. Every mesh tool is a generator object, you add an object as a child of it, and it generates an effect. Every generator object uses falloffs, fields, shaders, selections, and textures to drive the effect too, and these are all comparable to Cinema 4D functions.

Like X-Particles, Cycles 4D, and Terraform FX, MeshTools is a complete extension to the Cinema 4D Workflow.
