Terragen

Terragen is a scenery generator program for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X developed and published by Planetside Software.

Planetside Software released the first public version of Terragen 2 after more than three years of development of both the core technologies and the program itself.

Terragen Classic is popular among amateur artists, which can be attributed to it being freeware, its intuitive interface, and its capability to create photorealistic landscapes when used skillfully.

Rendering software contributed by PlanetSide proprietor Matt Fairclough was used by Digital Domain for effects in Star Trek Nemesis.

Terragen Classic was used in The Golden Compass, the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man, games, and many TV commercials.
