Looks cool! Wonder if there is a way to export that to Profantasy's Fractal Terrains and then to CC3?
Following up on the random coastlines in this post I was going to make a GIMP script-fu *macro) to generate these automatically. Low and behold, there already are three built in to the GIMP! distribution. All of them generate coloured maps, however, and are available from the main GIMP window Xtns->Patterns->Land (shown). Also shown are the settings I used for the generated images, only changing the seed.
Note that these create an image, nothing needs to be done first. I (creatively) used seeds 0, 1, and 2 respectively.

Now to modify/extend this to draw outlines as well!

Man. Who knew? Thats great for quick continental maps. Thanks for an excellent find.

The internet! It\'ll never catch on.

Wow! What a find!
Neon, I doubt that there's a way to export them into FT which uses height data to make its maps.

The script-fu actually leaves the greyscale heightfield as a layer under the coloured one. You could just use that
But if you've already got FT, it can do this sort of stuff right out of the box, no?
I don't have FT, but random HF generation is pretty basic, even Wilbur does it (and much better than GIMP), and my understanding is that Wilbur was the start code fro a lot of FT.

That's interesting. I've got FT and thought that although you can convert FT maps to grey scale height maps (which I import into Bryce to make 3d maps - very handy), you can't actually make an FT file out of height maps because it uses vector point data (I think) like the USGS use to make their maps.
Not sure it can be done, but I'd love to see if it can.
