    Thanks for the reinforcement

    Truthfully, I can't take much credit for the rivers. The land was exported from Fractal terrains then erroded in Wilbur. For such a small slice, it started with a whole globe, the erosion does a good job. The straight bits and what sort of look like talon scratches are a less than optimal part of the erosion produced.

    I like the over all affect and I'm not sure I'll change for the sake of the too straight bits.

    I still haven't seen any other program that creates a simulated world with as much elegance as Fractal Terrains combined with Wilbur.

    This is the world I _haven't_ got around to using yet... There's a square in the middle showing the location of the very first picture. Its tiny.

    With Wilbur, add in noise before doing the rivers. It's what will create a more natural course. without it you're more likely to get straight lines. see "Fun with Wilbur" tutorial for more details.

    Joao...it's Fractal Terrains.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Yeah, if you look at my sig theres a keyword index. Look up Fractal Terrain and Wilbur links. Waldronate is a member here and developer of both.

    On the Fractal Terrain list there is a link from me. Actually its not by me but a link to waldronates post on doing an FT tutorial. That post is a good read in order to know what to do with it.

    The wilbur links have some stuff to do with rivers which might be relevant.
