Ridgify World-Machine Macro
Ridgify is a World-Machine macro for build 3028 'Alpine Lakes' Release and higher. It can carve aggressive ridges into almost any input and is an amazing starting point for any mountain project. The intended purpose of this macro is to create well defined mountain shapes for further modifications.
Macro Controls:
- Carving Intensity
With this control, users can easily increase or decrease the overall intensity of ridge
carving. As the intensity increases, ridges become more defined and steeper. High
intensities do result in height reduction.
2. Ridge Intensity
This slider controls occurrence of ridges. At a high intensity, many ridges will be carved.
At a lower one, only a few larger ridges are carved. As Ridge Intensity decreases, build
time increases.
2. Smoothing
A high smoothing intensity decreases a choppy and noisy look and helps produce well
defined mountain ranges with peaks and ridges.
Other Features:
Enhanced Peaks - A built in "peak enhancer" that tries to eliminate skinny peaks from forming. Feel free to disable this feature and modify the terrain however you want. This macro is all about creating a base to work with.
Apply Mask - When this box is checked you can apply a mask to the ridgify macro making it only function in a certain area. Ridgify has trouble carving intense ridges into small spaces, so this feature is not useful for detailing.
