Another Noise Tool: Landscape mesh generator

MESH OPTIONS:
Mesh update:     Turn this on for interactive mesh update.
Sphere:          Generate sphere or a grid mesh. (Turn height falloff off for sphere mesh)
Smooth:          Generate smooth shaded mesh.
Subdivision:     Number of mesh subdivisions, higher numbers gives more detail but also slows down the script.
Mesh size:       X,Y size of the grid mesh (in blender units).

NOISE OPTIONS: ( Most of these options are the same as in blender textures. )
Random seed:     Use this to randomise the origin of the noise function.
Noise size:      Size of the noise.
Noise type:      Available noise types: multiFractal, ridgedMFractal, hybridMFractal, heteroTerrain, Turbulence, Distorted Noise, Cellnoise, Shattered_hTerrain, Marble

VLNoise basis:   Blender, Perlin, NewPerlin, Voronoi_F1, Voronoi_F2, Voronoi_F3, Voronoi_F4, Voronoi_F2-F1, Voronoi Crackle, Cellnoise
Distortion:      Distortion amount.
Hard:            Hard/Soft turbulence noise.
Depth:           Noise depth, number of frequencies in the fBm.
Dimension:       Musgrave: Fractal dimension of the roughest areas.
Lacunarity:      Musgrave: Gap between successive frequencies.
Offset:          Musgrave: Raises the terrain from sea level.
Gain:            Musgrave: Scale factor.
Marble Bias:     Sin, Tri, Saw
Marble Sharpnes: Soft, Sharp, Sharper
Marble Shape:    Shape of the marble function: Default, Ring, Swirl, X, Y

HEIGHT OPTIONS:
Invert:          Invert terrain height.
Height:          Scale terrain height.
Offset:          Terrain height offset.
Falloff:         Terrain height falloff: Type 1, Type 2, X, Y
Sealevel:        Flattens terrain below sealevel.
