Could anyone recommend a landscape generator?

Hello.

I'm trying to make a texture for the Kerbin (64K mod).

At the moment I use Photoshop, to edit existing texture. But I have height map.

And perhaps the best solution would be to use a generator to create a new texture.

Could anyone recommend some app ?

Sorry, what exactly are you trying to make? A new planet, i.e. from a heightmap? Unless you are making a gas giant, you will be only making a heightmap (or perhaps a vertex color map), not an actual planet texture--one uses the game to export that.

Also...64K already has all its planets, they're the original planets of KSP just larger, right?

For some reason mesh landscape does not match with the texture landscape ?

Known bug. Annoying, No fix until someone makes an HD texturepack for 6.4:1 scale.

Ok. But why mesh landscape changed? I thought that it only scaled.

Because it was changed to be higher quality. When you scale Kerbin up 6.4 times (or 10 times, as another mod makes available), that yellow-green plateau looks horrible. Thus, some changes to the PQS terrain needed to be made. One problem is that the terrain as a whole is slightly larger than the scaledspace texture, and another (noticeable right after launch) is that the yellow-green space center plateau is gone.

I use this get height map.

Export
		{
			resolution = 8192 // the width of the maps to export. Height will be half this.
			maxHeight = 14000 // the maximum variation in height in meters (i.e. height of tallest peak + depth of deepest ocean trench / crater
			oceanColor = 1, 1, 1 // the color to make the ocean. DO NOT INCLUDE if the body doesn't have an ocean or you want to render a color map showing the color of the sea floor.
		}

Oh, I'm so stupid. I didn't see that terrain is hiding under the alpha channel.

The body's radius is scaled. However, if the various terrain-creating PQSMods had all their deformities scaled up, you'd have 70km mountains. That would be....very odd. Instead, the PQSMods are tweaked to generate good terrain for a planet of the new size.
