Mmm....
Absolutely....and all that other stuff that works best with greyscale terrains.
... although I hope that one day we won`t need to use greyscale maps anymore. As mentioned elsewhere, the current Vue terrain editor lags way behind what other softwares, like GeoControl or WorldMachine, are capable of.
But let us not complain as long as there are ways to combine nice greyscale terrains with procedural terrains.
If we care to generate terrains in sufficiently high resolution, and as long as we are aware that for areas very close to the camera a procedural function is needed (to get enough detail), we are on the right track.
