I was not very enthusiastic on the procedural terrain thing. In many examples I saw, the results looked more like whipped cream than eroded terrains. 

This one looks interesting. I like the way Dath Pandi uses Radiosity.

I am also expecting his tutorials on water and materials to be very interesting.

Still waiting for the book "Vue 7.5, beyond the basics" I ordered a month ago.

Fantasy pictures, free 3d models, 3d tutorials and seamless textures on Virtual Lands.
