Facts
- Purpose
- Ymir is a node-based procedural terrain generator written in Rust.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Workflow
- Its graph uses generators, modifiers, selectors, masks and export nodes, with one data type flowing along every edge.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Terrain features
- The node reference includes noise and shape generators, terrain sculpting and filters, and thermal, hydraulic and stream erosion nodes.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Erosion
- Erosion nodes can read a mask and write flow, wear and deposition layers for later texturing or shaping.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Exports
- Ymir exports heightmaps as 16-bit grayscale PNG, raw 16-bit R16 or 32-bit float EXR.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Command line
- The headless ymir-cli can build saved projects and export results; erosion uses the GPU when available and otherwise falls back to the CPU.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Project files
- Projects use readable JSON in .ymir files, and reusable node networks can be saved as .ymirsub subgraphs.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
- Platforms
- Ymir runs on x86_64 Linux with Wayland or X11 and Windows 10 or later.liminalfield.github.io · 30 Sept 2026
