water erosion from World Machine To Unity 4

Hi,

I'm more artistically minded than technically minded in some cases. Using World Machine is an example of a specific case. What I am trying to do is create the water erosion detail you see in this image

If i understand you correctly,
Export the height map from World Machine > Import into Unity?

Or are you looking more for techniques on how to achieve that result?

I think he looks for a way to get the flowmap out of worldmachine. The flowmap gets calculated inside the erosion node. Just check the outputs of the node, there should be one called flowmap/mask.

Edit:
You might check out this thread. Buzzcore made an awesome Macro for WM, which pretty much handles everything thats needed for a good startup with Landscapes.

I wrote a tutorial on how to go from World Machine to Unity some time ago:

..I would do things a little differently now but that ought to get you there.


Follow this for the tools you need to import splatmaps etc:
