GeoFrac (for people who like terragen)

[salm]

this looks like a very promising tool to create landscapes. it´s called geofrac and is downloadable at

http://www.geofrac2000.com

the advantages over terragen is that you actually build your model in the viewport instead of only seeing the hight map. one disadvantage is that it doesn´t come with a renderer. that´s no proplem though since you can export as a rhino 3DM file and then convert import it into max incase you´ve got that max plug in which you will also find on that site. or you can directly export them into a terragen file.

here´s an example what some guy made with this tool. modelled in geofrac, rendered in terragen. very impressive:

Wow.

I have Terragen, so I might give this a look.
