HydraulicVpipes Node
HydraulicVpipes performs hydraulic erosion using a virtual pipe algorithm, which is a method that simulates erosion and sediment transport processes by mimicking the behavior of water flowing through a network of virtual pipes. This approach models erosion based on the principles of fluid dynamics and sediment transport, while also considering the local topography of the terrain represented by the input heightmap.
