Banana features a full terrain system that adds depth and realism to the railway landscape.
Heightmap
The terrain is built on a heightmap, where each point on the map has an elevation value. This allows for hills, valleys, and flat plains.
Elevation Bands & Hypsometric Tinting
Different elevation levels are rendered with distinct colors using hypsometric tinting, giving a topographic map feel.
Hillshading
Adjustable sun angle controls hillshading, providing a 3D-like appearance to the terrain through light and shadow.
Contour Lines
Contour line overlays can be toggled on to visualize elevation changes across the map.
Tunnels & Occlusion
- Occlusion meshes hide tracks that pass underground
- X-ray mode lets you see through terrain to inspect underground track sections
Terrain Editor
A dedicated terrain editor page provides tools for painting and sculpting the landscape.
