This may be a bad poll, as I'm sure that people use a combination of the programs listed, but I'm new to PLSM and I'm just trying to get a feel for what programs people are using for terrain generation.

[edit]
I had to leave off Other and I also had Photoshop and GIMP on there too, but that apparently was "too many poll options". So, please post if you are using a program not listed.

Terragen for random generation... and sometime for the global texture.

libnoise. Works quite well. Can't wait till I can plug in my own heightmap loader into PLSM so I don't have to go from code to files to plsm, but rather directly from code to plsm...

Large 3D Terrain and Photoshop for fine tuning but I plan make myself a terrain effects library to combine it with the two above.
