hello, let's say i have a terrain, and i placed my camera in a strange angle that shows the "ground" in a close-up. the texture looks really bad close to the camera - it looks like.. squares and patches of color instead of "ground". (it looks ok from afar) how can i fix this?

Us another map. Maybe a bitmap. But if you could show a screenshot, we maybe can help you better:-) Guitta Tutorials for beginners

And also tell us what Vue version exactly you are using.

Did you try to scale down the texture? Gebe is right, a screenshot could be cool ;-)

scale down the texture. :) why did i not think of this?? thanks! I'm posting 2 images.. one before I scaled down the texture and one after. it's a lot better, but still a bit weird. i can probably cover it up with some postwork, but i'm sure there's something that can be done in Vue.. right? (vue d'esprit 4)

and after.

And even do more. Double-click the terrain and increase the terrain resolution to at least 512 if you need to see it from closeup:-) Guitta

And another trick for the road... Keep the distant terrain with one scale and add a new terrain, with higher resolution and another scale to cover the large terrain in front of the camera. That way, you can better control how the texture looks for both foreground and background.

thank you all for the help and tricks. :) now i'm off to actually do something with this image. ;)

cant wait to see what yuo do with this. I like the way it is set up, like a secret cove or something. Nice. :0

well, i ended up covering it in postwork and plants anyway. :) this is the final image, if you're interested. and thanks for all the help!
