Hi Daniel,

Thanks!

I`m glad you like the thread. It triggered a couple of exciting rock related developments.

Yeah, Vue can be frustrating at times. I would lie if I said that I have always been happy with Vue.
No doubt, Terragen is a powerful landscape app.

What terrains are concerned, I encountered similar problems with standard terrains. Just tested today. Tried to apply a displacement map on a higher resolution terrain and Vue stopped reacting. I guess there is still a bug somewhere...

BUT my experience with procedural terrains are quite a bit different. I did get nice results already in Vue 7. And although it may take some time to render the results are rather convincing.
Today, triggered by your post, I experimented with prodecural terrains on which I applied displacement. I don`t want to say the it works perfectly with any function. But with the right combination of nodes and filters you can get convincing results.

Will post a render a bit later.
