    Terragen is only available for Mac and Windows, Flowscape also for GNU/Linux. Both are easy to use. With Flowscape, I created wonderful landscapes in no time.

    Flow scape can create landscape, but only to explore and "walk in it" through flowscape, Terragen can export the scene to other softwhare to continue developpement.
