thanks mightypete.. I'm still new at vue, so i didn't think about the boolean... yeah, why didn't I think of that? you could make even lakes in bryce 5 with a similar technique... but tradivoro, I think I'll take up on your offer, as i really don't have much time to be building stuff from zero (the city I'm building is a lot of work already) I'll IM you with mm mail, thanks! Max PS: any clues on how to smooth the material of the mountain? as you can see, the squares with the texture are very easy to tell, and I know that with a smaller terrain that wouldn't happen, but I need that mountain to be that big becuse everything else is on scale... so what, I should boost up the size of the material or the texture? maybe somne setting or stuff?
