Landfall – Island Generator for Blender

Landfall builds a complete, photoreal island in one click: eroded terrain, beaches, cliffs, reefs and lagoons, rocks, plants, an animated sea that runs to the horizon, and a real sky with sun and clouds. Pick one of 42 designs modelled on real places, from Bora Bora and the Maldives to Stromboli, Santorini, Svalbard and Lofoten, then change anything live from the sidebar.

Three worlds

• Tropical: white sand cays, coral atolls, barrier reefs with turquoise lagoons, jungle peaks and limestone karst towers
• Volcanic: stratovolcanoes, calderas with crater lakes, shield volcanoes, cinder cones, glowing lava flows and lava lakes, steam, gas and ash plumes
• Arctic: glaciated peaks, branching fjords, ice caps with calving fronts, tundra, icebergs, sea ice and brash ice

What you get

• Height field terrain with hydraulic and thermal erosion, valleys, gullies, sea cliffs and beach shelves
• 8 island shapes, or your own coastline or height map from an image
• Photo-scanned PBR ground blended by baked splat masks: sand, wet sand, grass, forest floor, rock, scree, ash, lava, moss and snow
• Plants grown from real species models: palms, jungle, mangroves, shrubs, conifers and tundra, placed by height, slope and climate
• Boulder beaches, talus, sea stacks and basalt shelves
• Sea with waves that break on the shore, foam, depth-based water color and a seamless animation loop
• Sky presets from morning to sunset, storm, polar night with aurora and midnight sun, with controllable sun, clouds, haze and exposure
• Random, Surprise and new-seed buttons, and Plants to Mesh for export

Easy to use

Open the Island tab in the sidebar, pick a biome and a design picture, and press Add Island. With the island selected, every section (shape, coast, plants, sea, sky) has picture tiles and sliders, and only the changed part rebuilds.

Requires Blender 4.2 or newer. Tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.
