Voxmapper

Voxmapper is a terrain generation tool built specifically for Teardown modders. It makes creating heightmaps, textures, and grassmaps fast and easy — using advanced noise algorithms and an intuitive interface designed for creativity and control.

Whether you’re building mountain ranges, islands, or alien landscapes, Voxmapper gives you the tools to shape your world with precision and see the results in real-time.

✨ Key Features

• Real-Time Preview
  Zoom and pan around your terrain as you tweak the settings — no more guessing.

• Grass Map Tools
  Switch between flat and noise-based grass distribution with customizable density and randomness.

• Import Your Own Images
  Turn grayscale images into heightmaps, with channel selection and image effects built in.

• Multi-Core Performance
  Handles large terrain generation quickly using parallel processing.

• Built-In Effects
  Add finishing touches with vignette, blur, and exposure controls.

• Clean UI
  A modern, minimal interface with helpful tooltips and organized panels — no clutter.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Open the app and pick your tool: Mountain Generation, Grass Map, or Image Import.

2. Adjust the settings using the sliders on the left.

3. Preview your map live as you make changes.

4. When you're happy with it, export your heightmap or grassmap with a single click.

🔍 Advanced Tools

• Landmass Generator: Easily make islands with realistic shorelines.

• Noise Controls: Adjust octaves, persistence, lacunarity, and more.

• Layered Grass Noise: Blend multiple noise patterns with weight sliders.

• Precision Navigation: Use pan and zoom to explore your map in detail.

🌿 Using Voxmapper with Teardown

When exporting for use in your Teardown maps:

• The file field should contain your heightmap.

• The grass field should contain either a grayscale grassmap or one generated in Voxmapper.

In your biome_ground.lua, use the biome tag to match the terrain type.
Here’s a list of supported biome tags you can use:

default, desert, snowy, swamp, forest, volcano, tundra,
alienjungle, crystalfields, beach, savanna, canyon, mushroom,
cave, alpine, bambooforest, meadow, icelands, jungle, ashlands,
mangrove, cherry, highlands, mesa, wasteland, taiga, corruption,
candyland, ethereal, cyberpunk, crimson, vaporwave, neon,
toxic, glitch, underdark

⚙️ Performance Notes

• Optimized for maps up to 4096x4096

• Fast map generation thanks to multi-threaded processing

• Real-time preview won’t slow you down

• Current version: v1.4.1
