Besides Radiant a mapper requires a great many other tools, image editors, sound editors and so on.

Image tools

Gimp

Photoshop

Terragen

Terragen classic is a windows or mac only application. The good news is that the app works perfectly well under wine so Linux users can use it also. The classic version is a free download though a little limited in it's rendering dimensions, it's fully functional and worth a try.
