Using an outline as a base for World Machine

Hey guys,

Been using world machine for the past little while now, and just had a question that I was hoping someone could help me out with.

I have an outline for an island that I would like to build in world machine. Is there anway that I can import a file of the outline of the island, and then just use world machine to create the terrain within the land mass?

For example, let’s say I want to recreate Jamaica in world machine. Could I import a file with the shape of the island from a top view perspective, and then use world machine to recreate/re-imagine the topography within that?

Hope that makes sense. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help me out! :slight_smile:

Under ‘generator’ there is a ‘file input’ node I have seen used to import outlines to use as a mask…never used it myself.

If you do that don’t forget to select view as RGB (I think thats what it is) I’d say it would be possible to use that and an outline to create a layout and plot the shape you require to then edit the falloff and height etc
