WorldBuilder is still one of the only commercial products that allows users to render scenes that could be millions of polygons. If you are a professional 3D artist, or you want a 3D art tool that has professional power, WorldBuilder's interface is streamlined for productivity and control. Underneath its professional interface, WorldBuilder offers you uncompromising power and control.
WorldBuilder Pro ships with more plants included than any other terrain generation tool. WorldBuilder's Verdant and L-system plants and rocks are not static, which means you have endless plant and tree variations. WorldBuilder was the first software package to offer automatic composite rendering and with WorldBuilder Pro's 3ds max support and the Rosetta plugins for LightWave, 3ds max, and Maya, you have more instant compatibility with most major general modeling and rendering packages. Use the Rosetta Plugins to composite scenes together with other packages during render time, sharing lighting, shadows, cameras, and more. WorldBuilder supports import/export of most standard 2D and 3D file formats, including USGS, Vista Pro, custom formats for Lightwave and Maya.

Take a look around.
WorldBuilder 4's new grayscale editor allows users to very easily create new elevation maps and import, save, modify, and load new maps. Almost any elevation map can be easily converted by the grayscale editor into a WB height map from a traditional elevation map to overhead photos. The grayscale editor is a new window that allows you to literally paint an elevation map in grayscale.
With the Materials Editor, users have unprecedented power over adding, previewing, modifying and altering object materials. WorldBuilder 4 efficiently allows users to preview new materials with different render options.
You can now import plants from Digital Element's new Verdant plant format. Verdant plants are algorithmically generated and can be varied automatically. You can create an entire forest from a single tree or an entire lawn from a single blade of grass. WorldBuilder still makes vegetation and rock placement easy, giving users a comprehensive control.
Improved Shadows WorldBuilder 4 has better quality shadows and an easier interface
