  1. Is there a tool like QuadSpinner's Gaea that will take a greyscale height map and apply erosion to it, but for non-Windows computers?

    I'm looking for something that maybe could be used in a high school science classroom, therefore, extra credit for:
    - Free
    - Open Source
    - Handling 2:1 aspect ratio (such as a global equirectangular map)
    - relatively simple to use

  4. Just read that John Varley, who I've long considered my favourite sci-fi author, died a few days ago. His early output - the Gaea trilogy and early Eight Worlds stuff, up to and including Steel Beach (1992) - was incredible. He wrote slowly after that, but it was all quite good.

    If you have never read Varley, give him a shot.

    Something on my todo list is to feed that kind of flawed or relatively low resolution data into #Gaea, and see if I can make it look better.

    The new one wouldn't be accurate, but things like small scale thermal erosion should make it look a LOT better, while keeping the overall shape.

  23. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Constantly think of the Universe as one living creature, embracing one being and one soul; how all is absorbed into the one consciousness of this living creature; how it compasses all things with a single purpose, and how all things work together to cause all that comes to pass, and their wonderful web and texture.
     
    [Ὡς ἓν ζῷον τὸν κόσμον, μίαν οὐσίαν καὶ ψυχὴν μίαν ἐπέχον, συνεχῶς ἐπινοεῖν καὶ πῶς εἰς αἴσθησιν μίαν τὴν τούτου πάντα ἀναδίδοται καὶ πῶς ὁρμῇ μιᾷ πάντα πράσσει καὶ πῶς πάντα πάντων τῶν γινομένων συναίτια καὶ οἵα τις ἡ σύννησις καὶ συμμήρυσις.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 4, ch. 40 (4.40) (AD 161-180) [tr. Farquharson (1944)]

    Here's a lovely one, with complex debris on a slope.

  33. The Yosemite mountain tops video looks as if it was a tech demo for terrain generation in Houdini or #Gaea. The way the snow cover looks like a procedural texture... the way the forest looks artificially sparse as if they had to keep the poly count down for a realtime demo...

    What an incredible landscape:
