Picogen is described as 'A free Terrain Synthesizer and RendererPicogen is an outdoor ray tracing system, a free Terrain Synthesizer and Renderer targeting large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations' and is an app. There are more than 25 alternatives to Picogen for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, LightWave and Autodesk 3ds Max apps. The best Picogen alternative is LuxCoreRender, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Picogen are Vue, MoonRay, Adobe Dimension and Infinigen.



NOX Renderer is a rendering software based on unbiased methods.
The renderer is available as a standalone Windows executable with a plug-in to link it to 3ds Max.

Geomorph is a height field generator and editor for the Linux operating system.
A height field is a kind of topographic map. It is a 2D projection of a 3D landscape.
Geomorph generates square images and shows a 3D preview of the resulting landscape. The resulting 2D image can.
MiniLight is a minimal global illumination renderer. It is primarily an exercise in simplicity. But that makes it a good base and benchmark (in some sense) for development and experimentation. And it just might be the neatest renderer around (on average, about 650 lines).




Nem's Mega 3D Terrain Generator is a relatively new terrain generator that takes a step in a completely different direction. Unlike traditional generators where the user must depend solely on the generators generation abilities, this generator gives its users complete 3D...
