Planet Meshes

Hi. I need to make some high resolution planet meshes for my game (they don't need to be realistically sized. The problem I am having is finding a terrain generator that will generate terrain on a sphere, and can export meshes to .3ds, or .blend. The meshes need to be high enough detail so I can get right down to the surface (using CLOD). I tried TerraGen 2, but their current version has no real way to export an entire planet mesh. Any ideas on how to make planet meshes?
...perhaps just use a 2d graphics program to create a heightmap then adjust the image to seamlessly map onto a sphere in order to generate the terrain? Not sure if this would work in your case since I don't know all the specifics but it's just a suggestion.
