Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

For mountain I think the fastest way would be to create a plane with high UV counts and then use the sculpt tool to pull out areas and work on making a mountain. As for crystals, I dont know what that looks like But im guessing their diamond shaped sorta that are long and spiky wise? If so, you can make alot of cubes with different sizes, and just extrude them up and work towards a crystal shape..

Tick, another 'free' one would be Terragen. https://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/ Free for individual use, pay for commercial use.
Missinna can use it for the ground layout but I don't think it will work well for the crystal Fortress of solitude from the Superman movies. Orgeeizm's comments sound awesome for that though..
