Any new terrain generation tools?

[Guest KENNITHH]

I was wondering if there are any new terrain generation tools on the net compatible with q3

I know theres EasyGen (still my favorite), Gensurf.. but are there any new ones, undiscovered ones?

 

I'd really like to know

Easygen is something that I mostly use. But I use Vue 10 Xstream to create most of the heightmaps

You can combine it with Photoshop to create perfect flat surfaces.

So yeah, Easygen can be used as one of the tools to create a terrain in, but heightmaps can be made in countless applications. Vue, but also geocontrol even.

 

Vue is also able to export material alpha masks that can be combined with a generated Easygen terrain. So think about slope independent generation and such, what makes terrain look better.

@@Vulcan -- I also have Vue xStream... maybe we should collaborate on a tutorial? Vue also has a free Personal learning Edition.
