The Story Behind World Machine
World Machine Software is the creation of company founder Stephen Schmitt. World Machine grew out of his research on terrain in computer graphics while studying applied mathematics at the University of Washington.

"World Machine grew from a happy accident many years ago! Dissatisfied with the previous state of the art in terrain creation, I was experimenting with methods to improve on some of the unconvincing-looking terrain generation methods available at the time for graphic artists and game developers. I was excited by the potential of simulating realistic erosional features, and when merged with the (at-the-time-rare) concept of a graph-based application, something great was born. Slowly that tool grew and prospered, becoming not just a small business but the industry leader in terrain creation. Many years later, it is still going strong. Thanks for your support!"
