As if I didn't have enough fractal and graphic programs to play with I now hear this term. It sounds interesting. Guess I'm looking for more information about it - would it be considered the same thing that you do in programs like Bryce and Terragen or is it something completely different. I saw one program that generates the terrain and adds things like trees (forest) which I could do in Bryce - actually - but is it something different?paragon5 posted Sat, 07 August 2004 at 2:01 AM
Hi Rose, "fractal landscapes" is a term. All the CG generated terrains and landscapes are fractal based; some just go about it differently. Some just plot the terrain to be used in another program. There are a huge number of freeware terrain programs, Terragen being the best(in my opinion). There are also programs thet generate nothing but trees. I have several programs that generate fractal plants and one that even makes grass! Most of these are exported as 3D models, which you could probably use in Bryce. Hope this helps at least a little bit. I'm no expert, by a long shot, but I do play around with a lot of different programs. (just ask my overloaded harddrive!) Williamparagon5
