PlanetGenesis is a Java program designed to produce models of planets and landscapes.

A little like Mojoworld but free (as in beer and speech) and no where near as good.

PlanetGenesis produces:

- 16bit greyscale bitmaps.
- Wavefront format objects.
- POV-RAY 3.5 mesh2 meshs.
- Terragen terrains.

based on pseudo-random noise. Which can be used in 3D rendering sofware.

What's New in This Release:
New Combiners

SetX, SetY and SetZ.
These take the value generated by the left hand side noise and replace either the X, Y or Z co-ordinate feed to the right hand side noise.

New output

Yayray xml output.

New improvements

Worley based noises are 10 - 20% quicker.
Perlin noise has had a 1% improvement.

Bug fixes

Random seed now random
