These will be the last ones for awhile...but there are some interesting things happening. Notice in the top picture, the unnatural look of the rocks within the grass and the mountain. Even though the terrain is 2047 pixels square at 16 bits, it still needs a bit of 'smoothing' or else one gets these types of artifacts. A few quick press of the diffusive button in the terrain editor fixes the problem as seen in the bottom picture.

Also notice here you can see all the layers in the mountain fairly clearly. The grass has 5 layers and is working pretty well, though it's transition with the upper mountain texture needs blending work. The upper mountain texture is the fine brown texture while the gray rock is used for vertical slopes. The beach texture is shown with a fine bump, and there's also a very small shoreline 'blending' texture which is white . I need to add an underwater texture as well so the water can be transparent. Lastly, at the very top of the mountain, is yet another rock texture, which could be replaced easily by snow.
