Create Stunning Landscapes Without Code

Strata is a powerful, visual, node-based heightmap authoring tool tailored for environment artists and game developers. Designed for those who crave procedural power without the complexity of programming, Strata enables you to craft breathtaking procedural terrain through an intuitive node graph interface. By connecting noise generators, masks, and complex filters, you can watch your virtual worlds evolve in real-time, resulting in production-ready assets that are perfect for any game engine.

A Powerful Node Graph for Terrain Generation

Every aspect of your environment is managed through flexible, non-destructive nodes. Modify sliders in real-time and observe immediate results in both 2D and 3D viewports. With Strata, your creative workflow is never limited by the need to restart; you can refine every geological detail at any stage of development.

• Noise Generators: Utilize Perlin, Simplex, Voronoi, and Gradient nodes to build the foundational structure of your landscape.
• Island Clustering: Easily design archipelagos and vast continents using specialized scatter, elevation, and shape controls.
• Domain Warping: Apply the Warp node to introduce organic, fractional Brownian motion that eliminates artificial repetition.
• Thermal Erosion: Achieve professional-grade realism by simulating authentic sediment flow and geological transformation.
• Shoreline Masking: Automate the creation of complex masks for seamless integration between beaches, shallow water, and land textures.
• Mathematical Filter Library: Take full control with a suite of tools including Terrace, Smooth, Sharpen, Remap, Clamp, and Mix functions.

Real-Time 2D and 3D Visualization

Precision is key to high-quality level design. Strata allows you to toggle between high-resolution greyscale heightmaps and fully lit 3D terrain meshes. Use the adjustable vertical scale to exaggerate features and evaluate your terrain's topology. The built-in export frame ensures that you capture exactly the section of your landscape you need, eliminating guesswork from your production pipeline.

Export-Ready Assets for Major Engines

Strata simplifies the technical side of development by providing tailored export options for industry-standard workflows. Whether you are working in Unreal Engine 5, Unity, or Godot, our bridge ensures your data matches the specific resolution and bit-depth requirements of those platforms. For massive projects, use our tiling feature to divide your world into 2x2 or 4x4 grids, perfect for open-world environment design.

1. Unreal Engine 5: Supports landscape-standard resolutions (127 to 8129) as 16-bit PNG or R16 raw files.
2. Unity Terrain: Offers power-of-two-plus-one sizes from 33 to 4097.
3. Godot: Fully compatible with power-of-two resolutions from 64 to 4096.
4. Generic PNG: Flexible output for any custom game development pipeline.

Enhanced Workflow Features

Maximize your efficiency with advanced output options. Include a Splat Output node to automatically generate four-channel RGBA texture weight maps for landscape material layering. Furthermore, Strata streamlines your technical art pipeline by allowing for one-click tangent-space normal map generation based on your final heightmap.

The Professional Choice for Sustainable Iteration

Your creativity is preserved in compact .strata project files, allowing for effortless iteration and non-destructive editing. With robust undo/redo history, you can experiment freely knowing you can always revert to a previous state. Strata is the essential tool for indie developers, environment artists, and level designers who need to bridge the gap between procedural efficiency and artistic intent.
