InnerWorld: a Landscape Generator

Published by Bart on June 9th, 2006 in Python Scripts

Thomas Jourdan has created Innerworld, a node based landscape generator script for Blender.

InnerWorld is a landscape generator running inside Blender. Terrains are generated from Blenders internal noise functions and external height fields. Using an graph editor different noise sources and operators can be used to define a production line for the mesh creation. The landscape generator can be used to fill the world with objects dependent of the terrains hight and slope.

The script comes with three tutorials:

It looks like the project hasn't been very active lately, but with some luck this extra attention could give Thomas the motivation to pick up his efforts again.

HAHA, looks cool! I'll have to try this, it's giving me all sorts of ideas.
I bet you could do most anything with this… but how's the mesh density? does it create tons of verts?

Definitely a fantastic script, takes a little getting used to the interface, but otherwise very productive.

@Jesse: you can control the mesh density in the Mesh output node.

Yeah - I hope he does start developing again, it's really quite cool - but I've been waiting for the next relese for quite a while now and it dosen't look too hopeful :( - epat

This looks interesting. His site, however, lacks a gallery of some sort to give an idea of the types of things that can be done with his tool. That would go a long way towards generating more exciting for his project. Maybe we can help him with that…

Hmmmmmmm…..he says it needs Blender 2.36.

So will it not work on newer versions?

Yes it does. I tried it and, frankly, trying it yourself would take about as much time as typing in that comment ;-)

You dont have to pay to get the most recent version, so why use some people an older version of Blender?

@Jogai: this script hasn't been updated for a while, so I'm guessing that when this guy was working on the script, 2.36 was the most recent version.
