~ FULLVIEW FOR MAXIMUM DETAILS

~ Iarnon is a planet created for a browser-based MMORPG I'm developing. This work is protected so any usage is strictly prohibited!

~ This is a rather small representation for an Earth-size planet so some details were lost due to the image size and JPEG conversion.

~ This map was generated using LibNoise - an open source fractal noise generation library. The sample files were modified to create a tiling plane map instead of a sphere map. I needed a tiling plane map since there is no pole distortion and it still feels like a sphere due to tiling on both sides. I also tweaked some other parameters to my need.

~ LibNoise supports a lot of different exports, ranging from heightmap, over Terragen or RAW, to shaded and colored maps. I will soon write a small tutorial for people with no C++ coding skills so everyone can use this library for map generation. Libnoise also supports zooming to certain areas and unlimited fractal details. I will post more as soon as I'm done exporting the images. Generation of such huge world takes around 20 to 40 minutes on my Pentium D configuration. LibNoise needs only 32 megs of RAM to generate this map.
