Chipp- I just took a look at your new "altTerrain Builder" and can see that this could really spin off some INCREDIDLE new terrains as models- even for people that might want to SELL them. Obviously- CASTLES and CLASSIC buildings come immediately to mind for me. How much EASIER to would be to assemble front facades of buildings in Photoshop and apply them as highly detailed terrain maps. I think this could be really a BIG THING once people grasp this idea. For Photoshop users this could be the way for them to build 3D Models- without a 3D modeling app. One other area that you (or someone) should look at is a way to make TERRAIN DRAPING even easier to do reguarding registrations to DEM terrains. I think Photoshop artists could create highly detailed terrain maps- like castles on hill tops- with all the roads, paths, etc. all TERRAIN DRAPED with BUMP MAPS- and they would look INCREDIBLE! I think were going to see an explosion of new Terrain Models with Terrain Maps- once people begin experimenting and see the great potential this has...
