Abstract
We present an intuitive interface for easy modeling of terrains, compatible with example-based synthesis approach. The interface consists on a picture's canvas-like screen, where the user sketches silhouettes of mountains, as he would do if drawing mountains on a piece of paper. Realistic results are achieved by combining copies of the example terrain in such a manner that matches the sketched silhouette. We use Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of real world terrains as source data, and a weighted sum function to continually combine the heights.
