Height Map Generator - Terrain map generator

Height Map Editor edits, generates, and manipulates terrain height maps. These can be used in terrain renderers, which are used in games, applications, and demos. The program itself is small (the entire distribution is smaller than 400 Kb) but it can work with maps up to 10000x10000.

Features include 16 levels of zoom, the ability to sink, smooth, or rise the terrain, the ability to put your own objects (ie volcanos, rivers, mountains, craters, etc.) in/on/over existing terrain, multiple brush sizes, flood and tolerance based fills, and the ability to place a height over terrain and add to or excavate from terrain.
