Dear Siverblade,
isolines are a fantastic tool to outline general terrain structure: compare isolines vs. brushes as NURBS vs. polygonal modeling.

B.T.W., I think that the real reason to get GC2 (next week ) is that its erosion tools are fantastically realistic, so it is an important tool for scenes where you can see the ground. If the ground is covered with vegetation, you can perfectly do with a medium/low resolution standard terrain.

Unfortunately, do not expect so see in Vue the same sharpness you will see in GC; if anybody here owns also Bryce or Carrara, they are going to really appreciate GC results.

I've often disagreed with Alex, but also acknowledged he actulaly has good points at times AND is damn good at his art.

Thanks a lot. I cannot imagine a better compliment than "he is an asshole, but he knows what he is talking about" :thumbupboth:.

Bye!!!
