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.

Presets Select any preset available for this filter in the preset library.
