Something I've been thinking of trying (in the unmentionable B program) was something like leaf litter on the ground - sort of what you'd get on a forest floor. The idea I was playing with was making several transparency mapped terrains (of leafy textures) sitting slightly above each other and slightly above the main "ground/earth" terrain, to try and give the leaf litter a more "volumeteric" feel rather than it being just one surface. Its kind of using polax's idea, but kind of doing it several times and transmapping them and layering them. Not sure if that idea's any use, but I'd love to see what you end up with in Vue either way.
