Distortion

Overview

The Distortion filter allows you to distort your terrain. It operates on each level step.

Parameters

  • Seed

    The seed of the distortion noise.

  • Length

    How far the terrain gets distorted in absolute distance. This results in a wider distortion on lower levels as those have fewer pixels. The reason why this happens is explained in the article about the level-step system.

  • Scale

    The scale of the distortion noise.

  • Octaves

    The amount of octaves used in the noise. Use more octaves if you want additional smaller-scale noise to a large-scale distortion.
