Erosion Devices

Hydraulic

Perform hydraulic fluid erosion.
The most common parameter to adjust is the Time property.

Sediment - The sediment capacity of the water.
Deposition - The sediment deposit rate.
Soil hardness - The rate at which soil converts to sediment.
Rain delta - The amount of time between each rainfall.
Rain amount - The amount of rain that falls for each time step.
Rain type - Equal rain over the surface, Adiabatic more rain at higher altitudes, Inverse Adiabatic more rain at lower altitudes.
Evaporation - The rate of rain water evaporation for each time step.
Smoothing - The amount of smoothing applied after the erosion.
Time - The number of erosion passes to simulate the amount of time passed.

Deposit mask - The soil deposit mask file name.
Water mask - The water flow mask file name.
Auto exposure - Apply automatic exposure to the erosion mask weightmaps.
Smooth masks - Apply smoothing to the erosion mask weightmaps.

Save the masks to disk - Whether to save the mask files to disk after erosion completes.

Rain

Perform water rain drop brush erosion.
The most common parameter to adjust is the Rain Amount property.

Auto, 1/2, 1/4 - Automatically set the rain droplet count based on the size of the heightmap.
Rain amount - The number of droplets of rain water spread over the entire heightmap region.
Deposition rate - The rate at which extra sediment soil is deposited from the flowing rain water.
Deposition smooth - The amount to smooth the sediment deposition area. Performs a basin fill.
Erosion type - Thin, Medium, Thick, Extra Thick, or Random rain drop brush sizes.
Erosion rate - The rate at which soil is eroded.
Soil carry capacity - The soil carrying capacity of the flowing rain water.
Evaporation rate - The flowing rain water's evaporation rate.
Direction inertia - The flowing rain water direction inertia. Faster values results in smoother corners.
Minimum slope - The erosion minimum slope tangent. Affects the soil carrying capacity of the flowing rain water.
Gravity - The amount of gravity affecting the downhill flowing rate of the rain water.
Subterrain depth - The amount that river channels can erode beneath the datamap low altitude.
Post smoothing - The post erosion heightmap smoothing size and strength.
