excellent cool thanks for the tips I am going to sacrifice some of the terains for standard ones! I have a few questions about procedral terrain.

Is it best for close ups or does it also serve its purpose well  in a long shot?
when setting the resolution is there a way of doing this eg design the terrain then up the resolution. or up the resolution then design the terrain.

would a normal terrain in a 4000 x4000, look like a procedral at 512 x 512 or am I confusing myself in what procedral and standard terrains actually are.
