World Machine is a procedural terrain generation software used by game developers, 3D artists, and visual effects professionals to create realistic landscapes and heightmaps using node-based erosion and simulation algorithms. It allows users to build complex terrain features like mountains, rivers, and canyons without manual sculpting, and exports data for use in game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine. It's popular among indie game developers and landscape artists for its procedural, non-destructive workflow.
