Generate water surfaces from Heightfield-erosion data

Dear community,

I am currently playing around with heightfields in H17 and would like to create a little island for Unreal or Unity3D. I am using the erosion filter to generate shape-features as well as water and debris masks. I really like the distribution of water areas for rivers and lakes. However, except for distributing fluid-particles around these regions and performing heavy simulations which I could bake to meshes, I am out of ideas. Especially in non-planar areas I don't know any technique that would create realistic water surfaces. For a game-engine I would usually just need the top surface parts of the water. Does anybody have an idea on how to achieve that?

I am thankful for any feasible approach or idea.

 

Best wishes,

Nicolas
