Gaea is the industry’s most loved terrain design application for VFX, games, and virtual production.

Concept to Production
Working in CG often becomes a fight between the artist and the software. Gaea dissolves that struggle. It helps you achieve your vision with the right kind of tooling from start to finish. And for the rare case when you can’t find something out of the box, Gaea’s procedural toolset makes it easy to build your own.

Realistic Terrains
Creating a terrain in CG is very easy. Creating a realistic one… that’s much harder unless you have the right tools.

Gaea’s toolset focuses on real-world concepts, not CG constructs. You work with mountains, canyons, and craters, not noises and filters. Gaea encapsulates these paradigms into nodes, and exposes their properties as easy-to-understand settings.

(Btw, we still have noises, filters, and all the low level bits you would ever want for drilling down to the most basic elements.)

GEOLOGICAL PRIMITIVES
Instead of wrangling noises into coherent landscapes, use our procedural geological primitives to get essential shapes to build your terrain’s foundation.

Want more? Combine primitives to create new shapes, even when they don’t seem harmonious, by using Embed, Insert, and other Combine modes.
