Absolutely, Bandolin, great illustration of the discussion in progress. The more I think about it, the more I believe that LSD is talking about detail and Im talking about adding more terrain imagery. After all, that is what tiling does for Bryce. Not only can you add more terrain imagery (eye candy) but also control its resolution from 16 - 4096 for every tile if that is what you crave. And Pauljs is correct, you can alter the individual tiles resolution so as to put the higher resolution ones close to the viewer and the lesser resolution ones further away.
