OMG! What have I started!?

Try this for masks and terrains. Used it in Terragen (see my gallery). ImageJ has loads of plugins and is great for image postwork.

Here are a few others I've got in my toolbox:
NOTE: All are freeware.
ANOTHER NOTE: DEM's are Digital Elevation Models. Digital models of actual terrains. You can get them from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Try the Grand Canyon for a terrain :)

Biturn-Object conversion
Blob-Makes blobs
Elefont: TTF to DXF Great little program for text.
Helixer-Makes helix's Outputs DXF's
Meshlab- great for cleanup. Also paints objects.
Spiralizer- Makes spirals. Outputs DXF's
Poseray-Object conversion. Love this program.
Roadmaker-Makes roads that follow terrains. I think I got it here at Rendo. Check the freestuff.
Wilbur-Terrain maker. Also reads DEM's
Worldmachine-Terrain maker. Excellent.
3DEM-Reads DEM's and other types of GIS files and converts them to terrains. You can download and use terrain maps of Mars!
EDT Texture Editor-Makes procedural textures.
Caustics-Makes different types of caustics.
Pretzangles-Makes geometric objects. (It's spelled Pretzangles go figure)
Treemaker-Java plant and treemaker.
Planetgen-Makes BMP's of planets.
LightArtist-Good for adding light in PW.
Terrabrush-Great terrain maker. I recommend this for everybody. Got a learning curve.
WorldMachine-Another terrain make. One of the best.
Scatter-Reshapes obj files. Made by the same guy who made Grass. (Bantam)

Whew! That's enough for now :)

I await The Bryster's wrath.

I'll let you guys Google the software. But if you get stuck I'll see if I can find the links. :)

Have fun!
