Use it

Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.

JavaScript

import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/river-tile.mjs';

const riverTile = createAsset();
scene.add(riverTile);                      // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z

JSX

import { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/river-tile.mjs';

export function RiverTile() {
  const model = useMemo(() => createAsset(), []);
  return <primitive object={model} />;
}

GDScript

# Import river-tile.glb (download below). It is a static mesh, one material per colour.
add_child(preload("res://river-tile.glb").instantiate())

// Import river-tile.glb with glTFast (com.unity.cloud.gltfast).
// Drop it in the scene: 1 unit = 1 metre, +Z is its front.

Knobs

Knob	Type	Values	Default	What it does
`piece`	choice	`straight` `bend` `fork` `end`	`bend`	straight (river from N edge to S edge), bend (from S edge round to E edge), fork (S edge splitting to N and E), end (a spring pool in the middle feeding a river out through S). Rotate in 90 degree steps.
`biome`	choice	`grass` `desert` `snow` `rock` `volcanic` `alien`	`grass`	Shared by every Terrain piece: grass (blue water, green banks), desert (teal oasis water, sandy banks), snow (icy water with floes), rock (grey stone banks), volcanic (the river becomes glowing lava), alien (glowing teal liquid, violet banks).
`stones`	toggle	on / off	`true`	A line of flat stones across the river (or cooled basalt blocks on lava).
`decor`	range	0 to 1, step 0.1	`0.6`	Reeds, river rocks and ground scatter on the banks. 0 gives clean banks.
`seed`	range	1 to 50, step 1	`3`	Moves the rocks, reeds and decor. The channel and edges never change.

Presets: lava channel {"biome":"volcanic","piece":"straight","stones":false} · oasis spring {"biome":"desert","piece":"end"} · frozen fork {"biome":"snow","piece":"fork","seed":8}
