Wind

WindLink creates a real and terrain aware wind field that everything responds to. No more side to side canned wind animations with your favorite shaders. Everything flows together.

• Building gusts that come and go naturally instead of a constant breeze
• Terrain flow: slowed behind a hill, quicker over a crest, funnelled down through valleys
• Presets from calm to storm, or auto (natural wind)
• Wind character, natural or cinematic
• Turbulence, swirl and wave size as separate dials
• Wind sheltering, your builds interact with the wind in real time
• Blown debris from leaves and grass flecks that ride the wind and deflect off walls
• Trees move as one, so a canopy sways together
• Falling leaves, smoke, flames, embers and campfire smoke all take the same wind

Seasons

• Foliage color follows the year
• Days per season, or race through a whole year in seconds to see it move
• Forceable season overrides

Grass

Real grass strands drawn over the world's own ground cover.

• Density, height, width, size variance, angularity and stiffness
• Connected tufts, cross blades, strands that turn toward you
• Color: brightness, saturation, root shade, tip light, colour grain
• Grows under world plants and spreads out from them
• Stomp to clear where you walk
• Distant facade so the horizon stays green without the cost
• Strand budget and distance thinning to keep the frame rate

Discontinued in development. Cool for a render but not gameplay.

Dust

• Sand grains lifted off loose ground when the wind is up
• Wind thresholds, spawn rate, radius and how high it lofts

Heat

• Heat field over fire and lava

Water

• Every body of water measured and identify puddle, pond, lake, river, small sea, ocean, deep ocean
• Tuning for range, sea height, depth and what counts as a river
• Shore distance data

On-screen

• Wind compass showing heading and strength, unintrusive
• Wind lines, a debug overlay drawing the field itself: shape, spacing, reach, length, ground arrows, and whether they show through terrain

Commands
