| Terrapin |
| Some time ago, inspired by the landscape generator 'Terragen', I wrote a program which I named 'Terrapin'. It generates fractal terrains, and raytraces them. There is a real-time preview window in which you can roam around the landscape, adjusting parameters via a rather complex set of dialogs. |
| When you've got it set up as you like it, you can render a larger scale image, and save it out as a bitmap. Typically in about 10 seconds. |
| Features include: |
| Terrain height and colouration Atmospheric effects (fog, haze, clouds, sky colouration) Stars Water with waves and true reflections Lens flare Etc. etc. |
| Oh, and it also has a mode that allows you to create whole planets viewed from space. |
