This looks REALLY interesting! Now if E-ON would support TRUE 16 bit data terrain formats you could actually design and model highly detailed sports cars and aircraft in Vue. Of course something like this will take us most of the way there- but people won't get the true glossy smoothness they will want until E-ON makes this 16 bit change. But your great new app will help educate people about this issue- and E-on will then make the change at some point. HEY- they support hi-rez HDR lighting data in Vue 5- so why not hi-rez TERRAIN DATA (like everyone else does!). I think building 3D models as terrains is going to be a BIG THING- once people get the hang of it. In a number of ways, people who don't understand regular modeling programs- might very well find TERRAIN modeling a simplier concept to grasp.
