Holy crap, they're making a Terragen 2. For those who don't know, Terragen is a freeware terrain creating program. It's pretty good, and if you use it well, it'll come up with some great, realistic looking pictures. Now they're making a Terragen 2, which will allow not only terrain, but objects as well, such as trees and stuff. Even crazier is that you can make planets, or something. I don't know all the details and my computer can't run the preview too well, so I'm going off of pictures and the short rendering I was able to do. Holy crap.

Unfortunately, Terragen 2 is going to be shareware instead of freeware.
