Terrain creation has never been easier...

Mountains

Islands

Desert Oasis

Cliffsides

THIS IS EARLY ACCESS | Price reduced!

In it's current state, this tool is not the final product. We do not have Water implemented yet. The price has been reduced to $99 until release date where it will increase again to $99.

Features quick-view

Built from the ground up, True-Terrain 5 is now a fully procedural, geometry nodes-based terrain creation suite.

  • With a move to a Layer-based system of design, you have so much more control over your creations!

  • PRESETS FOR ALL! Use our premade presets for Terrains, materials or Scatter; OR, make you're own and save them to use anytime

  • Modify EVERYTHING with our layer modifiers and blend modifiers. Want to mix two terrain layers together? Done!

Geo-nodes
Geometry

User intuitive controls

Grab the widgets to move layers around, rotate and scale them. Change seed values, add layers, blend them, modify them

Simple UI

Layers Tab, Blending Tab, Modifier tab.
All the controls you need placed where you can easily find them.

Unlimited variations

With the infinite layer-based system, you can create, blend and modify as many layers as you want. (or as many as your machine will let you...)

Adding Layers

We've made it REALLY easy for you to build up your terrains using our new, custom-built layer system.

We know nodes are amazing, but not everyone likes to use them. So we made out system using nodes, and then show it to you with a fancy UI to make it a much more intuitive experience.

The power of nodes, the ease of layers.

One-Click Plateau's

It's just a button click away. Our Plateau layer generates realistic plateaus based on accurate physical values.

It's never been easier to make that vast desert scene you've always wanted!

All the textures...

Don't want to use our custom made terrain-noise layer? Make your own!

By adding different texture layers together, you take control in making your terrain look how you want it to.

Heightmaps Galore

Use the included maps, or your own; The heightmap layer will let you bring in any installed heightmap and add it to your terrain.

The heightmap layer (as with all terrain layers) allows you to blend, mix, modify and move around to your hearts content. Need a mountain near a crater? Go for it!

Erosion

That's right. Realtime erosion of your terrains.

It's our first "release" iteration so will only get better. But right now you can erode with Hydro, Thermal or BOTH.

It's pretty fast too and we store the data so you can add it as a texture mask later...

Layer. Based. Materials!

Seriously, we're all about layers this time around.
With unlimited layers, 12 different Blending modifiers and the 32 supplied materials; you'll have all the artistic control you need.

Watch how simple this is...

Add a layer, add a blending modifier, tweak. Add a layer... Add a blending modifier... Tweak.

ADD A LAYER! ADD A BLENDING MODIFIER! TWEAK!!!

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product
What does this include in the price?
You will get all the True-Terrain 5 updates!
This means that you will get the features that are added to 5 (Water, Scattering, Scatter assets, Heightmap elements etc). You will not pay for any update of v5.

Only if we release a v6 of the tool will that be a paid update.
Do I need True-Terrain 4 to use this?
No! True-Terrain 5 is an independent tool and unique in it's own right. If you own version 4 then you can port the existing assets and materials over to 5. If you do not own 4 then you will have access to ONLY the materials and assets included in 5.
Will you add tiers to 5 like you did in the past?
This is something we thought long and hard about, and in the end decided no. We do not want to dilute the value of the tool by trying to have different prices, which included different amounts of content/features.
True-Terrain 5 costs $99. That's the value we see for the core functionality of this tool. Materials and assets provided in the tool are simply added to highlight the core functions.
We will not be adding different tiers at different price points and dilute the value of the tools core functions.
Why is this early access?
We've been working on this version for 18 months (as of writing) and we now need to bring a wider user base in than our small our group of testers so that we can build the tool around your workflows.

We can only bring a tool to a certain point. It's nothing without user feedback and input which is where you come in.
Is this a free upgrade for existing True-Terrain users?
No, True-Terrain is not free for existing users, but let's explain why. Developing and maintaining True-Terrain involves significant costs, especially given its scale and complexity. To continue offering high-quality support and updates, we need to charge for new versions.

It's important to note that while we've provided free upgrades in the past, this was never an official policy. Since the initial release of True-Terrain on November 18, 2018, no customer has been billed for continuous feature support. However, charges have been applied for additional content, which is a separate matter.

True-Terrain represents a major financial and resource commitment on our part. It includes over 97,000 lines of code, more than 650 commits in the last 18 months, and a significant amount of content.

To support our existing customers, we're offering a substantial discount: all current True-Terrain users are eligible for a 65% discount on their next purchase. This offer is valid up until the full release of the next version, after which the discount will drop to 25%. Please note that True-Terrain will not be included in future sales, as our current price point of $99 reflects the tool's value.

We'll continue to provide free updates for major releases, which will include bug fixes, enhancements to existing features, and possibly new features.

We hope this clarifies our policy for existing users and the future of True-Terrain. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
What do I do with True-Terrain 4?
We thought about that.

You paid for it, which means it's yours forever. How about we make sure that the content you paid for, you can continue to use!

We've spent the last 6 months coming up with a new asset-management backend so we can literally at the click of ONE BUTTON transfer your content from version 4 to version 5.
