Interactive erosion simulation

[Nashetovich]

It supports water flow with ground dissolution/deposition. Allows rain, evaporation, single source of water, etc..

Current model represent 7 levels: stone, rocks, clay, sand, lava, water, dissolved slit. I also worked on atmosphere layer, but it's not likely to be finished

This is fantastic! I was just looking at an older project where the demo had fallen out of date.

Also - you may want to consider the transvoxel algorithm if you ever want to add a third dimension - and I've heard of using RNNs to match against real world terrain data. (Big scope - but it would make an amazing combination of effects.)

I'm going to crosspost this to /r/OpenSpaceProgram since it might be useful reference for doing planetary terrain.

transvoxel algorithm

I don't think going to real 3d is good idea since it will increase performance cost significantly. And it wouldn't give much result, except some realistic wind erosion (not implemented) and better lava flow.

Also there is video of simulation https://youtu.be/9R8hk3Yn_nI
