| I'm looking for somethinh where you can import a heightmap and it generates rivers on the heightmap to show where they would be located. If anyone knows of any or something similar, please do share with me! |

| I don't know of a method for adding rivers to heightmaps or the maps generated by the planet generator. I do know of a method for generating square maps with rivers and fjords, albeit with noticeable artefacts caused by subdividing only along vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. If you send me an email, I can send you an unpublished paper about the method. Regards, Torben |

| I think that you can import a heightmap into Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator and have it generate rivers, among many other things. |

| This is/was a tool by Joe Slayton? called Wilbur. Last time I looked for it, it was hard to find. I know years ago it because the basis for Fractal Terrains by ProFantasy. It would generate rivers from the heightmaps it created using some sort of weathering model. I never learned any of them so can't be of much more help. Sorry. |
