Topo Contours

Animated topographic contour lines drifting over an FBM heightfield.

Behind the study

A fractal noise field is read as terrain, with a contour wherever the height crosses an evenly spaced interval. Every fifth contour takes the red accent, echoing the index lines of a topographic map. Two drifting noise layers continually rearrange the ridges and basins.
