Weltenschaft

Yet another terrain-editing program, Weltenschaft seems to be a simple way to create randomized terrain forms, without needing any actual computer knowledge. This is a program containing a few buttons and sliders for users to manage some characteristics involved in creating the final product. Whether you're some sort of cartographer, a designer, or simply a curious individual, this application could turn out to be worth a try.

The first thing one should deal with, if using Weltenschaft by chance, is the settings submenu. In it, the user has the ability to adjust hilliness, humidity, and map size. These three parameters will control the display proportions for your final creation. As far as influencing your creation, these options have an effect on all the map kinds. While there might not be an exact purpose for his tool, one certainly can find many purposes for it. Designing a game could require the creation of such a map, an artistic endeavor, as well, or simply an academic project of sorts.

When it comes to the actual creation itself, you can use Weltenschaft to create a normal-looking map with various colors for land and water, dispersed terrain, and world-like formations. Aside from creating a basic map, you could also indulge in creating a height map or a humidity level image. Out of all three, the height map could be most useful. Many simulation apps or games deal with this type of files, integrating them for a better understanding of a geographical area.

Weltenschaft is an interesting application that could prove capable of integrating with the rest of your projects, of course, provided these make use of geographical maps of any sort. The application could also be used to create various lands to fit with role-play stories and the like. To be frank, this application can have as many purposes as one can think of.
