Warning
Hesiod, currently in its developmental phase, is being released as a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The application is currently unstable and subject to frequent changes. Feel free to explore its capabilities, contribute to its development, and provide feedback to help shape its future iterations.
What's new
New Terrain & Erosion Nodes
- HydraulicSaleve (new erosion variant with improved smoothing/interpolation)
- Improved HydraulicParticle simulation (better ridge forcing, stability, defaults)
- StrataCells & StrataTerrace (advanced stratification tools)
- Thermal node (merged + refactored system)
- ThermalScree (duration-based model, fixed talus constraints)
- Curvatures (unified curvature analysis with extended metrics)
- LocalMetrics (merged local terrain analysis tools)
- MorphologicalOperators (consolidated morphology base operators)
- FindCutPath & PathInflate (enhanced terrain path generation tools)
- Mudslide (WIP)
Improvements & Refactoring
- Node consolidation (multiple legacy nodes merged and deprecated)
- Added generic post-process and percentile-based tools for better control
- Expanded interpolation and smoothing options for Path nodes
UI / UX Improvements
- Safer project loading with JSON deserialization failsafes
- Clearer node organization (new categories, WIP separation, deprecation messaging)
Fixes
- Numerous crash fixes (node attributes, port routing, remap, warp, blend, etc.)
- Fixed issues in erosion and terrain algorithms (peaks, discontinuities, overflow)
- General stability and consistency improvements across nodes and UI
⚠️ Known Issues
- The application remains somewhat unstable 💣 but improving with each release.
- Possible memory limit issue when using large graphs or high resolution => enable the option to cache node data on disk in the graph configuration menu
- Flow simulations are work-in-progress
