T.R.A.T. ( Terrain Randomizer And Texturer ) is a program that will randomly create a heightmap based on the settings provided. The program will also generate a texture for the created heightmap. Features include presets for randomly creating heightmaps such as: Mountains, Rivers, Shores, and more. You may also customize a randomly created heightmap. The program can be downloaded from my site ( site requires flash ): http://www.virtualdarkarts.com Screenshots may also be viewed on the site above, but if you want a direct link to them all, you can view them here: http://www.virtualdarkarts.com/z_pics/trat/ You are limited to 64x64 size heightmaps and textures. The program is $30 and will allow up to 2048x2048 size heightmaps once registered. This program requires the .Net Fraework 1.1 or higher to be installed and DirectX 9.0c.

What does your program provide that more established programs such as World Machine, Terragen and L3DT do not, for around the same price?

The main goal of my program was to allow the user to create useable heightmaps quickly and easily without having to figure out 100+ controls and options. Programs like World Machine, Terragen, and L3DT, have a lot of controls which is good if you already know how to work them and all, but I was aiming to produce heightmaps/terrains just as well as these programs while simplifying the whole process so you didn't have to spend hours creating a landscape. Just spend 5 minutes or so and have one randomly made for you, with the option to customize it also if you want to make minor alterations.
