    Default

    if you are coding a generator
    you will need to decide on how it is done

    a spherical subdivide in 3 dementinal space
    ( diamonds)
    a OLD example of this is "Fractalplanet"
    https://github.com/ldo/fracplanet

    or
    taking a 2d array out of a multy denominational dataset
    ( libnoise)
    http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/index.html
    single threaded and SLOW


    also have a look at
    http://www.crystalspace3d.org/main/Main_Page

    there is also the OLD program "planet" by:Torben Ć. Mogensen
    https://github.com/makhidkarun/planet

    replacement for "libnoise"
    https://code.google.com/p/accidental-noise-library/


    found it
    a article by some Stanford students
    http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/...ap-generation/
    -- the code--
    https://github.com/amitp/mapgen2

    and that is just a start
