Title: Question: Julia Island, Mandelbrot landscape, Fractal formula into Terragen?
Post by: Terrainlove on August 22, 2013, 12:43:13 AM
Hi guys, I'm a new Terragen user and loving the exploration into computer generated terrains.

I have come to a crux in figuring out how to input formulas into the shaders or generators.

For example how would I generate the below island with the Mandelbrot formula z_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c ?

Would it be possible to somehow create the terrain externally and import? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
