This is just great. I love the way this forum solves things. Well done Ulco.

I've used this method before, so it was easy to put together again. You can also make cascades with local strata shaders, btw. Or just unmask one of the existing strata shaders, the perpendicular one. May also be interesting to see what Daniil's shader does to this...

Here's one from 2011, without the valley, but using distance shader to raise ground.

Daniil's shader flattens the valley floor too much and the latest version seems to create lakes whether I want them or not!

Too bad. Maybe only the outputs can be used for something, like rubble/flows texture change or so.

Have you tried my river maps function? It uses the logic we all use but is intended to mask to base planet terrain, creating a initially flat river bed.
