By one of the guys who did this, so you can do this while you spend the day away here.

Heh, that page is buried away in my bookmarks from eons ago, mostly because of this page of algorithms for fun physical simulations.

And I must say that Terragen has improved greatly since I last looked at it. That's not to say that I wasn't impressed by the massive polygons of the time, of course.

Very interesting. Has anybody here compressed anything with the Bink codec? Also, I would love to see anything (of a manageable size) that anyone has made with Terragen - I say go ahead and self-link away!

taz, I found links to several user galleries with many way-cool examples. (Or maybe you know about this and are just asking about MeFi user works.)

Thanks Tubes - I found several animation files in that group that were lots of fun - and, yes, I was sort of curious if we have anybody here who has done some of this sort of work.
