    Post Greenfish Relief Map Generator

    Someone on the Dungeonforge forum posted about this little program:

    http://greenfish.extra.hu/downloads.php

    It has a incredibly simple interface:

    And with one click on the [?] button you get a new map, complete with random names pulled from a flat text file.

    Here are some examples (I had to convert them from bitmaps, 'cause that is all it saves in):

    Pretty amazing program. Nice sensibilities behind the basic map structure.


    I'm glad I never saw this when I was just getting into mapping. I might not have pursued it so earnestly.

    Nice little program! I can see myself using it to create a base for my handdrawn maps. Thanks for posting this

    Can it output the height map because you could get your own gradient remap in there and make your own color scheme for the land if you dont like the one it gives you.

    I like the Hungarian town names! I thought it was Turkish at first...

    I actually kind of like the altitude gradient. It's fairly clear and unobtrusive. I may add its distinctiveness to my collective of gradients.

    As a heightfield generator it seems weak. There's a fairly bad orthoganal banding artifact(squares). Even against the paltry selection of terrain generation software on the mac it's not all that great. If your on a PC anyway, there are oodles of greatly superior HF generators. Many of them free.

    Still, those town names...
