Another impressive (and free, for the basic version, or if you are in the education industry) 3D world
generation software package is Terragen 4.1 from Planetside Software in the UK. You can download the
basic version at Planetside.co.uk, as well as joining their Forum. I’ve used this software in a couple of my
Android application development book titles as well, so I know it works well for use in projects such as
multimedia applications, Interactive TV or iTV, and games. It is also used by professional filmmakers, as its
quality level is extremely pristine. Since we’re covering 3D in the book, you may want to look into Terragen,
as it’s affordable, and used by television producers and movie studios. To find the Terragen software on the
Internet, use the Google Search Engine and type in Terragen 4.1. Click on the link, which will bring up the
Planetside Software website as shown in Figure 1-21.
