Quick Tute: 1. Set the terrain editor resolution to 256X256 or lower. (Go to the terrain icon and click on the "?" terrain icon. Do this once, hit ok and that is the default terrain editor resolution.) 2. Keep the size of the terrain at the default size (at first). 3. Play with the function editor while the terrain is at the default size (in the main vue window, upper right tabs). (This is how best to get an idea of how it will look before you scale it.) 4. See how the settings in the function editor affect the terrain. 5. Once you are happy at this "preview" size, scale the terrain in X and Y only. 6. Scale the Z axis in small increments, until you get the amount of detail you want. 7. Tweak the function editor as necessary. 8. Enjoy
