Of course you can!
Be aware however that it is very crude! it would be nice if some more
automatic control was put in, for instance:
- scaling, rotating, warping of the functions or patterns;
- a nice long list of all the kind of functions you could use, and the
patterns of course;
- the different ways in which the functions could interact with each other;

I am currently experimenting a bit to make geologically acceptable
landscapes. Nothing like LOTW, though.

Can you give me some samples because i'm not a "pro".
In fact i wish build something serious and funny, with trees, roads
elephant, gnou, ape, ...  etc etc on the surface of this LandScape_gene
object. No, it's a joke of course !
But "I have a dream" a Magnet/object plugin to push or pull some parts of
all objects like i need. Ex: A LandScape_gene object, and with this
Magnet we can trace roads, river, hills etc...
No magnet in 3dsMax, Maya etc etc ... Curious... I don't know a soft who
have a magnet except Poser. But it's a good idea. No ? It seem to me that
it's not so hard for a pro.

Great! Can we see something or help you ?
I have a very good "souvenir" of my work with Pilippes Gibone
on SeaShell.lua.

I am certainly not a 'pro', you know! still struggling with a lot of basic
concepts.
I shall post in moray.binaries a zip with four different scenes with which I
have been experimenting. They are different landscapes where you can change
some of the parameters.
magnets... I have not tried it, but Wings3D seems to have magnets too...

Yes, I should post a few on p.b.i. I suppose...

I posted the zip file with scenes in p.b.s-f (not in moray.binaries) as it
is pov.

Ok found them....
Ouch ! Excelent work...
I'm not afraid by the work but.... Where to start ?

I made a little .lua yesterday. (see include file)...
Only the 12 types,  texture and button (for Hf or isosurface)
work for instance. What's do you think about ?
Come on, let's get to work Sylvain !....
-We have to make a selection of what's is really necessary...
-How to avoid black dots.

looks nice, maybe you should add a Tex-lib with some colormaps to 
'enhance' the geometric feeling.

keep up the work

Increase the max_gradient parametre in the isosurface{} (will decrease
render speed of course). try 50 or 100.

Nothing wrong with speaking alone. I do it all the time :-)
Made just a little try-out with the plugin: really nice for a first start!
Now, important things, more or less in order of importance, I guess:
- the resolution of the hf / iso: >> the "300, 300" in hf; the max_gradient
in iso
- the size of the landscape: Loc*Xscale in hf; loc in iso, in my examples
- the type of function(s) to use, their order, their sign (- + *)
- all kind of parameters you can change the functions with (this may really
be big, I am afraid)

It might be very usefull to look at how the real pro-stars have done their
work in the LOTW examples, because that could answer a number of questions.
I have not done that really seriously up till now...
