: Adding noise to a path in Inkscape Is it possible to add some (controllable amount of) noise to a path with Inkscape? When creating a fictional map, I would like to add rivers with the bezier

In case you still need to know or someone else needs to know. There is a tool in Extensions > Modify Path > Fractalize. It can make a map in 5 minutes(ish)


Create your ground formation
Select all the land masses and go to Extensions > Modify Path > Add Nodes (not too many, they will help keep the the land formation) I just used it to make the nodes about the same distance apart so that one side is not a higher resolution.
With the land masses selected, go to Extensions > Modify Path > Fractalize.

I would recommend using layers for map details like rivers, rocks and trees. Go to Layers > Layers or Ctrl+Shift+L.

In the right side of the screen the layers should popup, add one, and use it.
Draw the bodies of water
Then Add Nodes and Fractal a little.
Then adjust the rivers to make sure they line up, and Fractal again.


Add some color and some details and you got it!
