In this example, we will create a node using an input terrain that exposes a parameter named "Strength" and edit its graph. The output is a terrain with values that are the result of the input terrain's values plus the Strength value.

  • Select Create node > New custom node > Python.
  • Right-click on the node and select Rename to rename it.
  • Right-click on the node and select Edit custom node from the contextual menu to edit the node.
  • Delete all default nodes except the Python script node and then:
    • Create an input node by selecting Inputs > Terrain, and name it Input (default value).
    • Create a parameter node by selecting Parameters > Value parameter, and name it Strength.
    • Create an output node by selecting Outputs > Terrain, and name it Output (default value).
    • Link these nodes to the Python Script node.

    The nodes are invalid because there is no input terrain linked to the custom node.

  • Select the Python Script node and enter the following code in the script editor:

    #
    #------------------------------------------------
    # Example: Applies an offset on a terrain
    # - Needs an input terrain node named 'Input'
    # - Needs a parameter node named 'Strength'
    # - Needs an output terrain node named 'Output'
    # - Handles the progress bar
    #
    set_task_progress(0)
    for y in range(Input.height):
         set_task_progress(y/Input.width*100)
         for x in range(Input.width):
              input_value = Input.get(x, y)
              Output.set(x, y, input_value + Strength)

  • Click Compile to check for any errors.
  • Close the custom node graph and go back to main graph window. Your custom node is now displayed with an input terrain connector and an output terrain connector.
  • Link your custom node to an input terrain and watch the script running.
