Houdini 21.0 Nodes Geometry nodes

Labs Biome Attributes to Terrain (Beta) 1.0 geometry node

Assign the base biome attributes onto the terrain

On this page
Since 20.5

This node takes the default attributes and/or the dictionary attribute biome_definition of the second input and transfers them to the terrain depending on the biome regions of the third input. It also fills the areas with no biome regions with a background, created from the Default Attributes tab parameters.

Parameters

Visualize

Display

Input: The terrain mask input in the node.

Temperature: A remapped preview of the temperature attribute on the terrain.

Precipitation: A remapped preview of the precipitation attribute on the terrain.

Soil: A preview of the soil attribute on the terrain.

Biome Color: A preview of the color attribute on the terrain.

Auto Remap

Use Real-World Range: Show a remapped preview of the Display following real-world preset values.

Auto Normalize Range: Show a normalized preview of the Display following the minimum and maximum volume values.

Manual Range: Show a remapped preview of the Display following Min and Max values.

Manual Range

Compute Range

Click to fill in the Min and Max parameters with the current minimum and maximum values in the input layer.

Min

The lowest value in the input to map from.

Max

The highest value in the input to map from.

Default Attributes

Background

This node checks if the output layers already exist on input and create new ones when needed. When all the layers are already present, this gives you the possibility to change the background mode to transparent, not using the biome default parameters.

Transparent: Keep empty regions as is, without filling nor overriding the information.

Fill: Fill empty regions with default attributes.

Color

Color that is applied to the visualizer.

Temperature

Average annual temperature (in °C) of the default background biome.

Precipitation

Average annual precipitation (in mm) of the default background biome.

Output: HeightField Layers
