This is probably one of the higher-quality 3D engines I've seen, and it may very well be the best 3D modeling app. that I've ever seen released for free to the average joe. Still being in production stages, the software has a few bugs left to work out, but they rarely seem to get in the way. The only crash I had was well after rendering my first full scene in Terragen.
Terragen itself is perfect for people who want to make a landscape based on a rough vision. If you don't want to muck around in Bryce or whatnot, but still want to pull off astounding landscape scenes, terragen is for you.
I can't help raving about this thing... I was expecting a level of graphical quality more along the lines of what the Halo 2 engine looks like it will present, but I got a quality of rendering and design which produced an image that could be mistaken for a photograph (I kid you not). I've worked for a little while in the graphics industry, and I have a fairly good eye, and Terragen completely blew me away. In 12.5 hours of rendering time (with approximately half an hour more going towards figuring Terragen's controls out and generating the rough preview of what I wanted), I produced a very nice scene of a fjord. The deep water looks like deep water, especially in the distance; the clouds look like clouds, right down to the smallest detail, and while the landmasses could use a little work in their generation, they look just fine. The lighting effects this engine is capable are also of significant quality.
In short, there's absolutely no reason you should not download this program if 3D terrain is what you're interested in.
(And no, I'm not employed by the company producing Terragen... I'm just a very, very satisfied end user.)

I used this on the PC when I first started working on CGI projects. I'm a Mac dude all the way and I'm glad to see this for us. It pretty much looks and performs like the PC version. That may be a bad thing for some but for I, mematron, it's good... It's ALL good.
