Terrace Node

Applies a terracing effect to the input heightmap by quantizing elevation levels into discrete steps, optionally modulated by noise.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
input	VirtualArray	The input heightmap to be transformed with terrace steps.
mask	VirtualArray	Mask defining the filtering intensity (expected in [0, 1]).
noise	VirtualArray	Optional noise map used to perturb the position of the terrace levels for a more natural look.

Name	Type	Description
output	VirtualArray	Resulting heightmap after applying the terracing effect.

Name	Type	Description
gain	Float	Controls the amplification of the terrace steps; higher values create steeper transitions between levels.
mask_activate	Bool	Enables or disables the internal mask. If the node's 'mask' input is connected, this setting is bypassed and the input mask is used instead.
mask_gain	Float	Controls the intensity or influence of the internal mask. Bypassed if the 'mask' input is connected.
mask_inverse	Bool	Inverts the internal mask, applying the operator where the mask is low. Ignored if a 'mask' input is provided.
mask_radius	Float	Defines the smoothing radius for the internal mask. A value of 0 disables smoothing. This is bypassed if the 'mask' input is used.
mask_type	Choice	Specifies how the internal mask is computed: 'Elevation' uses height, 'Gradient Norm' uses slope, and 'Elevation mid-range' selects the middle portion of the height range. This parameter is ignored when a 'mask' input is connected.
nlevels	Integer	Number of discrete elevation steps (terraces) to apply to the input heightmap.
noise_ratio	Float	Ratio between deterministic and noisy placement of terrace levels; 0 uses only uniform levels, 1 uses full noise-based variation.
Seed	Random seed number	Random seed number. The random seed is an offset to the randomized process. A different seed will produce a new result.
