VIRDRA STUDIO / TERRAIN AND LAND AUTHORING
Build terrain through landforms, geology, erosion, water and direct artistic control. Work quickly with heightfields, switch to true 3D for caves, cliffs and overhangs, and keep the entire landscape editable inside one procedural graph.
01 / WORKFLOW
Move from large-scale terrain decisions toward a land system that can support foliage, biomes, and production changes without losing editability.
01 / FORM
Create mountains, ranges, valleys, plateaus, river systems and large terrain structures without burying the silhouette under noise.
Real-world elevation data, or dedicated generators for mountains, ranges, valleys, canyons, plateaus, craters and dunes.02 / LIVE EROSION
Live erosion runs while you watch. Pause at any moment, inspect what changed, adjust, and continue from exactly where the terrain is.
STATE 01
WATER
Rain collects, finds its way downhill, and carves valleys and drainage that follow the land rather than a pattern laid over it.
03 / EXPLORE THE SYSTEM
Open any chapter to explore the complete feature story without leaving this page.
FEATURE CHAPTER / WORLD DATA & LANDFORMS
Bring in real-world heightmap data as the starting landform, or generate mountains, ranges, ridges, valleys, canyons, plateaus, mesas, craters and dunes.
Combine, warp, terrace and stamp them. Every step stays editable in the graph.
FEATURE CHAPTER / LIVE EROSION
Run hydraulic, thermal, glacial and coastal erosion live in the viewport and see the terrain change as it happens.
Pause, inspect, adjust and continue, then reuse wear, flow, sediment and deposition anywhere downstream.
FEATURE CHAPTER / GEOLOGY
Define strata, faults, joints and bedding so different rock responds differently to the same forces.
Weathering follows the geology: freeze-thaw, exfoliation, spheroidal weathering, tafoni and karst dissolution.
FEATURE CHAPTER / REAL 2D + 3D
Work at landscape scale in 2D, then turn the regions that need it into a true 3D volume.
Carve caves, tunnels, arches, overhangs and undercuts, erode and sculpt them in 3D, and extract a clean surface mesh.
FEATURE CHAPTER / DIRECTION & EXPORT
Masks, splines, sculpting, stamps, seeds and curves decide where procedural complexity appears and how far it goes.
Export heightmaps, masks and meshes, split large worlds into tiles, or send terrain straight into VirdraSurface.
04 / CAPABILITIES
Shape the large forms. Define the geology. Establish drainage. Run erosion. Direct the result with masks, splines and sculpting. Move into true 3D for the places a heightmap cannot represent.
Generate mountains, ranges, valleys, drainage systems, and terrain structure while keeping the forms readable and editable.
Run live erosion, water, land, and glacier simulations. Pause at any moment, inspect how the terrain changed, and reuse wear, flow, sediment, deposition, and other process data downstream.
Create caves, tunnels, overhangs, undercuts, geological volumes, rocks, and cliffs—procedurally or by hand—by transforming terrain into a true 3D volume.
Use masks, splines, sculpting, curves, seeds, manipulators, and reusable terrain stamps to decide where procedural complexity appears and how far it goes.
VIRDRALAND
From real-world elevation to a live-eroded, true 3D landscape, VirdraLand keeps the whole terrain editable in one procedural graph.
05 / ACCESS
VirdraLand uses the same account, legal framework, and tier-based access system as the rest of the suite.
