# Filters ## Overview Filters are the main way to add realism to your terrain in World Creator. They offer a variety of ways to apply effects to your base terrain, from simple distortion or sharpening of cliff faces to advanced hydraulic and thermal erosion algorithms. ## Shared Parameters All filters have the following several features in common: * **UI in the Tree view** In the UI you can change the name of a filter by double-clicking its name. Additionally, you can change the type of a filter to any other of World Creators filters by pressing the arrows to the right of the name. * **Distributions** Filters can be masked to specific areas (e.g. steep slopes) of your terrain by adding distributions to them. For more information on the distribution system, see [this article](https://documentation.world-creator.com/en/reference_distributions_information.phtml). * **Parameters** All filters provide the following options in common: | ![](/files/5WAcGql2WfuqFCI39sdn) |
