generative landscapes, 2001-2006, by Eric De Giuli

In the late '90s and '00s, there was a small but dedicated community creating generative landscape art in two programs, Terragen and Mojoworld. The latter was `long-form generative art' -- one created an entire virtual world, released it to the community, and let others explore it. One wrote an algorithm to control every aspect of the world. Only the camera perspective and time of day was left to the viewer's discretion. This software is now vaporware, and the galleries that used to present the work are long gone. These images are presented as artifacts from that early era of generative art, untouched since I last created them more than 15 years ago. This collection is essentially complete. I will only add an extra image if I find something extraordinary in my archives. Numbers in image titles are for archival purposes, and are not meant to suggest that the entire series will be posted.
