bloodsong, Thanks again.... I already knew about resizing the actual resolution of the terrain itself, but I hadn't noticed we can change the resolution of the texture, as well. While I was waiting for someone to answer this, I went and did the thing I really hate....yes, I read the manual! Well, so no one thinks I'm some kinda wimp or anything, I only casually glanced at it. ;) So, I guess I learned something, and one of those things has to do with the "trick" of piling terrain upon terain, with different textures, to get far more options than simple material mixing. :) Cool, yes, and I'm sure not the only way, but definitely a reasonable workaround. :) Cheers, Mike
