Hme is a 2D program, used for creating, manipulating and viewing height maps.
A height map is a 2D representation of a 3D terrain. Each 'color' represents a height.
Anyway, if you are reading this page, I assume you do have a good idea about what height maps really are, so I won't go in further details explaining it.
Point is, so far, I never seen a GOOD terrain editor. Most of them are 3D editors, and that doesn't give you a feeling of "wholeness", so, making a river, or fine tuning a few pixels/heights can be a pain in the ***.
Other terrain editors are comercial programs, and/or too big, and too 'fancy'. HME is built on the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, and, while it is very easy to use, it also has some advanced features.
Current version: 1.3.1
