Curvature

modifier.curvature ยท Selectors

Selects convex (ridges, outcrops) or concave (valleys, hollows) ground from the surface curvature.

Purpose

Selects convex ground (ridges, outcrops) or concave ground (valleys, hollows) from the surface curvature. Reach for it to catch the crests or the hollows, where neither a height nor a slope band would find them.

Inputs

Outputs

  • out

Parameters

Parameter Type Range Default Unit Description Field-driven
Mode (mode) enum convex, concave convex Which ground to select: convex (ridges, outcrops) or concave (valleys, hollows). no
Strength (strength) float [0, 8] 1 no
Output (output) enum selection, measure selection no

Layer contract

Reads and writes the height layer.

Behaviour

It measures curvature, not slope, so a plain ramp reads as zero. Set the scale it works at with an upstream Blur.
