I'm sure that many of you have seen or even used a terrain generator in some capacity, but I seriously doubt that you have seen too much at this level of detail before.
Terragen 2 by Planetside Software is an amazing piece of software that will render just about anything you want from space, terrain or sky. This software, which is a complete rewrite of Terragen is now the primary development focus of the company.
The new version will have such features as;
Modular, plugin-based architecture
Cutting-edge adaptive subdivision renderer
Production quality anti-aliasing and motion blur
Render entire planets, sweeping vistas, tiny rock gardens, or anything in between
Add multiple heightfields to your scene. Use procedural terrains that can span an entire planet
The core technology of TG2 was used in such feature films as 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis and 2005's Stealth!
"Terragen 2 features an advanced hybrid micropolygon renderer with powerful multi-angle displacement capabilities. It has a versatile procedural engine that can be utilised to apply subpixel-level detail to almost any aspect of a scene. Terragen 2 is capable of rendering billions of polygons in a single scene."
