Rocks and Mountains

Hi Folks,

Could any of you guys please point me towards resources for fractal type algorithms to draw simple mountain shapes or rocks/pebbles/pillars ??

Thanks,
Davy

Maybe you'd be intersted: texture Noise : http://pygame.org/project-noiselib-1442-.html
If you are thinking minecraft-ish, it uses perlin noise for tiles.
Or are you doing 3d mesh for mountain?

Thanks for the pointers - strictly 2D only :-)

I found this bit of code on Perlin already in PyGame:

This is my one - it is particle deposition based, rather than Perlin noise:

Thanks Mauve - generating some ideas :-)
