River tool

Definitely! A similar tool for making good looking canyons would be nice too…

If the river tool ignored the usual stroke and ripple and replaced it with it's own that varied depending on the width of the tool that would be awesome! So if it's the start of the river and very narrow the ripple effect would be pretty much nil, or close, but could approach default ripple effect when it gets to it's delta. Not sure what brush size that would be where the default ripple leaves enough space on both sides to look good… maybe around 30?

Need it to slowly grow wider as we draw. Really surprised there isn't one already. Color gradations as it gets wider. Also, sand bars, etc. the more it curves.

Right now I can only get reasonable looking rivers by drawing a blue line and setting it to "hue," then painting the foreground with a green texture under and around the river so that it doesn't look so weirdly see-through, then drawing a line on top and setting it to the "Ship Wave Wall" pattern for a white water effect. Being able to do this more easily would be awesome!

I'd love for it to have editable nodes like the line tool!

Also having an option for it to throw in random extra squiggles (like how the mask tool has a roughness control) would be cool.

Also having white current lines that can be turned off and on (like the ripples in the mask effects, except down the center) would be super!

And it would be great for it to have separate outward and inward shadows (again, like the mask tool has) that you can choose the color of would be terrific for showing the shallow edges of the river or making the banks bright green.

Please hear us! River tool like the one in Wonderdraft would make our work a lot faster and easier.

So, here is what I would love to see. A tool that could programmatically generate rivers on a map. Now, I realize this is a big ask, but there is a tool that I have been using to generate rivers that I can then use as a stamp to place rivers manually: https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/mapgen4/

It works by creating rivers based on the sliders, elevation, and land mass. Now I realize, this tool uses land elevation, but it "might" be possible to have a layer for elevation that could simulate the landscape and more accurately display what the rivers would look like, then allow the user to draw the rivers on manually and TA DA, better rivers. It is more of a manual solution, but it would provide much better pathing for the rivers.

Evenn if its not fanncy looking anything would still be better than erasing lands !

it is really the only thing missing now. I haaaaaaaaate making rivers in world maps here. In Hd maps its tolerable but for world maps its just ugly.
