Thought you folks might like to know about this cool piece of free software.

Terrabrush is a landscape/texture generator from Germany and has lots of very cool features.

Aside from the usual mountains, you can create (from a drop down menu), craters, sandunes, (great for making waves too), pillars, displacement maps, rings, helix's terraces and lots more.

Drop down menus also includes: masking. brightness, contrast, blur, gamma ,even 3D View and a ton more.

Exports .bmp,.obj, .ter, (for Terragen), .dxf and others.

If you haven't got this in your toolbox, download it and give it a try.

If you want to see what kind of terrains you can make, take a look at me109's gallery. I think Matthias has written a few tutorials showing how to use Terrabrush to create his unique type of terrains. Check here at Rendo under Terragen Tutorials or at his site.

The Terrabrush site is in German, but the software is in English, (except for a few odd spots in German).

I've been using this software off and on for a couple of years to make Terragen terrains and give it a 10 for ease of use and variety of features.

Beside it's FREE and HERETICAL so you can't beat the price, (OR THE CONSEQUENCES).

Should be interesting to see what you guys come up with. ;)
