OT: Terrain Generator
 
I'm looking to create a random planets surface complete with mountains, streams, valleys, and so forth. I have spent the better part of last night looking and although I have found several fractal terrain programs I can't really tell which may be the best for my purposes. I ultimately want to export the file and generate a cyberboard out of the map. However, I first need to generate the planet.

So any suggestions as to what is a good software for this?

Not sure if you checked this out yet:

At the bottom it lists some programs too.

Try out all the free ones, see which ones you like the most.

Then, call up Cthulhu, ask him which of the remaining ones he likes, discard those and choose a final one as the world dies.

...What?

I still hang around but I've lost a lot of interest in SE5. Too many issues with the game to name a few of the problems. Oh well there is always SE6.

Well it gets better everyday. We can always look forward to SEV Gold, or SEV Deluxe.
