+There's also a free landscape modeller at
+-> www.geofrac2000.com
+
+It was once commercial and its interface is very much like that of 3dsmax.
+The author discontinued the project and made it available for free, but it's
+still worth a look. You can use standard algorithms (perlin, etc.) for
+landscape generation, create mountains and craters or just paint with the
+raise/lower-tool. Realtime 3D-display just like 3dsmax as well.
