help me with my English. It's not quite as good.... sorry.
Hello Graphics Users:
I am looking for Landscape Alogrithm similar to Star Trek II's
genisis techology. I want to know the Alogrithm that will simulate drawing
mountains, rivers, oceans, islands, and many things around the artifical
world and packed them into sphere. Is it avaliable in books or can you send
me the alogrithm (or programs)? Also, it is avaliable on anonymous FTP?
If books, please let me know which books contains the information that I
mentioned in the previous sentences. A few years ago, I had learned how
to do computer graphics and I do it very well.
Note: I am not subscribing to this comp.graphics discussion so, please reply
to me directly.
Does anyone know the LISTSERV re-distribution to BITNET users?
Thanks!

It's widely available, where not sold out. And it has everything a poor boy could want to know about fractal terrain models. Except, of course, what's to come, such as in this summer's SIGGRAPH proceedings (a hint for all fractal fiends...) __________________________________________________________________________ Ken Musgrave arpanet: musgrave-forest@yale.edu Yale U.
