Fantasy Planet Painter is here to make world-building easy and fun. You draw the big picture — where the oceans are, where the mountains rise — and it adds the depth and realism, without the usual hassle.
It started in 2024 as a small tool for painting a planet's heights and letting a procedural generator fill in the rest. Version 2.0 keeps that idea and rebuilds everything around it: real units, many projections, a 3D view and the beginnings of a world-building system, all rendered on your own processor.
Fantasy Planet Painter is made by Methodox Technologies, Inc., the makers of Divooka.
Questions, bug reports and ideas are welcome at fantasyplanetpainter@methodox.io.
