Anybody have any ideas/thoughts/programs/links to do with modelling truly realistic terrain using fractals techniques? Time efficiency is of no concern.

So, I wrote a demo awhile back and posted the write-up at http://www.shiftyeye.com/ajs/mountains.html

Sadly, I never posted the code... though it was hardly in a postable state, but I tried to explain the process clearly, and it should be fairly straightforward to implement the math.

Check out vterrian.org....

The ultimate package for generating realistic fractal terrain is MojoWorld Generator from Pandromeda:
