Name of program? "Scenery and mountain creator"?
« on: July 17, 2013, 02:08:33 AM »
I think it was something like you could type some numbers and the computer would generate a mountain scenery with sky, greens and lakes.
It ran fine on A500. Took a little while to generate the picture.
 
I think it was freeware.

Vista Pro or Genesis? Neither was free but both came out with demo/trial versions on various cover disks over the years.

Sounds like "SceneGenerator" which was on AUI Superdisk No.42, September 1994 issue of Amiga User International. Also had Model4D on it amongst other stuff. Quite a nice disk. All AUI disks were good come to think of it.

Sounds like FracLand to me. It's a really old PD program. It's been used to create the basis of this picture: http://artcity.bitfellas.org/gallery/j/j.o.e./21598_fractalexp.png

Can't find it online, though...
