Race Track Builder (Cost: 50€)
The best tool you can find when it comes to creating any kind of roads onto any kind of terrain. It simple to use and allows importing Google Maps API data for creating race tracks on real life landscape. The more time you spend to adding details and painting with tools like Blender, the closer to perfection you will get.

As the Bright Engine, RTB is also able to sculpt terrain very well, but it's impossible to say which one does it better without testing both of them. What is certain is that others have used
Race Track Builder
to create the perfect race tracks using Google Maps and Blender or Sketcup for adding textures and objects. Here are a few examples.

The question is: Are we able to turn this
into H&D2 missions that can look like this?
It certainly looks like something the old LS3D engine and our editor can handle. Now we can also finally have actual landscape in the background and not just a photo. The only limitations are those we create. Bright Engine can also be used for large terrain as shown in RTB videos, plus it's free to use.
For the simplicity of this presentation, most of the features are not discussed here, but for a better understanding you can verify them yourself on the
Steam
page and the official
Youtube
channel.
Scape
Scape
is our basic open-source terrain builder that works both on Windows and Linux systems. It is based on the open-source
OGRE 3D
engine which you have to download and install first. The development of Scape has stopped a decade ago, but someone is still keeping this project alive on
Github
and updated to run on newer versions of OGRE.
The tool exports heightmaps that later can be used with 3D editing tools. It's as simple as the video below. It uses different kinds of brushes and procedural terrain shaping.
