Terragen

Terragen Terragen is a landscape generator, which means it can be used to generate very near photorealistic virtual landscapes. Take a look at some of the demo shots from Terragen's Web site Intuitive User Interface: An extremely easy to use layout, along with realistic default settings, allows the creation of good looking scenes within seconds of starting the program. Random Fractal Terrain: Controllable parameters allow extremely varied terrain shapes. It can also be used to "fill in" realistic terrain on a user defined landscape. High Detail Foreground Texturing: The rendering engine allows extreme close-ups of landscape details with automatic levels of detail adjustment. Terrain Sculpting Tools: This can be used to "paint" the shape of the landscape, to position mountains and valleys or make changes to random landscapes. Random terrain generations can be used to "fill in" realistic terrain over deliberately positioned mountains and valleys. Terrain Modification Tools: Functions for allowing overall modifications of terrain shapes, such as glaciations. Plug-in System: Terragen's plug-in system allows third parties to extend Terragen's functionality in a number of areas. This program is free, but only for personal use. There is a user manual, but it's not downloaded with the program. To get the manual, go to the Help file from within Terragen's interface and select User Guide. You can get that here:- []
