Gaea (Community Edition)
customnon-commercialCredit: Not requiredverified 37d agoGo to source
QuadSpinner terrain tool with a free download on the product site. The free Community Edition is non-commercial only. That covers the program and the terrain you export from it: the EULA bundled with the current release says you may use it "for non-commercial purposes, including but not limited to Assets", and "Assets" means everything Gaea produces. Commercial terrain needs a paid edition, which is out of scope here. For a free Godot heightmap path use Terrain3D.

Legal hub: quadspinner.com/legal. On 2026-10-04 every EULA PDF linked there returned HTTP 404, so the terms were read from EULA.txt inside the official Gaea-2.3.1.0.7z portable download (EULA "applies to all versions of the Software released on or after July 1, 2025")
Commercial: false. Section 1.4.1 limits the Community Edition to non-commercial purposes, and the download page says the same
Credit: false for what the Community Edition allows. The only credit clause (1.8.2, "Assets created with QuadSpinner Gaea.") applies to retail sales of terrain assets, which is commercial use the Community Edition does not permit anyway
Other limits, for every edition: no interactive product whose main purpose is terrain generation (games where terrain generation is incidental are exempt), and no AI training on Gaea output without written consent
