Excellent timing - I'm actually looking for a 1024x1024 heightmap for an RPG world, those links will be most useful.

Yeah, what I'm thinking is that the game will have all sorts of influences from different countries, so I can shape each continent like it's real-life counterpart. If you can imagine how the world was billions of years ago before all the continents broke off, that's the sorta thing I'm going for.

Probably be easy enough to grab heightmaps and normalise them so they can all go on 1 massive map.

Because fractal landscape generators don't generate Snorway. Kenya believe it?

Sweet.. looks like an interesting way to do things. Never really thought about doing it like that before. You could probably use Keyhole the same way.

Very nice find David. I'll probably mess around with re-creating my home town perhaps.
