Heightmaps The Dreamlands terrain generator can create, load, and display a variety of heightmaps. The heightmaps can be used by developers for polygon, or voxel terrain renderers, and/or collision detection.
Fractal functions : Using varieties of Noise3, procedural heightmaps can be generated.
Open Image : Heightmaps, or satelite data can be loaded from disk using the .bmp format.

Texturemaps Dreamlands can create, load, and display a variety of texturemaps. The texturemaps can be used by developers for polygon, or voxel terrain renderers.
Open Image : Textures, or satelite data can be loaded from disk using the .bmp format.
Color Ramp : Creates a terrain texture where colors are indexed by height.
Texture Splat : Creates multi layer terrain textures. Next gen engines can use high resolution tiles, and multitexturing. For previous generation engines, all layers can be combined (burned) into a single texturemap.
Create Lightmap : Complex shading, and shadows can be exported as a lightmap, or burned into the final texturemap.
Create Normalmap : Dreamlands does to terrain what the Unreal3 engine does to playermodels : High Resolution Normalmaps! All the high frequency detail of the heightmap is preserved by the normalmap.

Skybox Dreamlands can create a high resolution Skybox optimized for planar terrain.
Skybox : All color calculations for the skybox are done in 192bit double precision floating point color, and are dithered down to a 24bit texture, providing the best color fades possible.

Geometry Dreamlands can create NxN geometry for endless terrain.
Primitive Type : Start with a Plane, Sphere, or Tetrahedron.

Exports Dreamlands data is exported in a variety of easy formats.
Heightmap data : can be exported as a floating point .raw file, or a 24bit .bmp image file.
Texturemap data : can be exported as a .bmp, or a compressed .dds image file.
Geometry data : can be exported as a 3DStudioMAX .3ds file, or a Milkshape .txt text file.
