We've just upgraded a terrain generation filter for Phoenix into it's own application. We realized that it just made sense to be able to keep it fully separate in order for it to be able to contain a rich set of features and options.
So now I introduce you to Tern, our Terrain Generator:
Tern will allow you to not just generate random natural scenes (of all different types), but also to have full control over the appearance of all scenes. If you want to generate a scene of a volcano on an island, no problem. If you want to generate a scene of an alien landscape, no problem. If you want to recreate the shape of Australia and show it from high overhead, no problem.
Tern will include the ability to fully control and generate high resolution realistic scenes including land, water, fog, clouds, sunsets and plants, all right in your browser.
And of course, like all our tools, the works produced within it will be rights and royalties managed.
Update We've now consolidated Tern into a plugin for Peacock, the filter factory of the entire Aviary suite.

Awesome! I finally had a chance to check out Peacock today, and threw something really cool and unique together intuitively in about 10 minutes. I'm not sure if it saved correctly, but I'll be sharing it and powncing it soon! (i love your CAPTCHA, do you read Heinlein?)
