Synthesized Landscapes
My entry in the Aug '95 ('Alien Worlds') Internet Raytrace contest (1st place).
Below are some raytraced fractal landscapes I made using
POV-Ray
plus my own fBm landscape generator
Gforge. Note: if you use Gforge yourself, you may find this selector guide useful. Here is a
screen shot of
Xforge
(comes with Gforge source code for Unix).
- Land2 Softer tones; fine detail
- Land4 Rougher, illustrates tiling (can you find the seams?)
- Moon1 Lunar landscape with two light sources

HF-Lab, Gforge and other tools.
The land/moon images above are straight from the gforge generator. The images below have
had rivers added to them by a companion program (not yet finished). The last
image also shows simulated fluvial erosion (river valleys).
Sharp-edged mountains
Rolling foothills
Erosion of an oddly-shaped hill

An interesting pattern showing erosion rate on a mountainous surface.
