Fracplanet is an interactive tool for creating random fractal planets and terrain areas with oceans, rivers, lakes and icecaps.

The results can be saved in POV-Ray format. The code is licensed under the GPL. Fracplanet project uses Qt and OpenGL.

What's New in This Release:
The main addition in this release is the ability to export the terrain as a texture map, with or without relief shading.
A DEM (Digital Elevation Model, or height field) and normal map are also written.
For planets, the textures are a cylindrically projected latitude/longitude map (this is directly usable as a spheremap in POV-Ray).
The illumination direction is now controllable from the GUI, and swirly spiral weather systems can be added into the clouds.
