no, not an april fools. Ive seen at least one mod that has actually done this. The most obvious way is with the TriAPI, but you could also do it with any way to render something. you could create a tileset out of models for example and use those as building blocks to build your world, it all depends on what exactly you want to do.. I think the easiest way to do it would be to just generate the visual images with the Tri API since numerous terrain generating alogs are available on the net. Its not something thats very practical, IMHO, but its interesting to think about.
