That's quite an impressive procedural terrain, eonite. However, what I am missing is the possibility of explicitly creating a procedural terrain with certain shapes (rivers, cliffs, whatever...) and then enhancing those shapes with a displacement material. It's not that it's not possible, it would simply make the rendertime explode.

Ironically I downloaded the most recent update today and tried displacing a 4096x4096 terrain from Geocontrol 2 and it worked with reasonable render times (10 minutes for 800x600 on "Final" on my Core i7 920), but the preparation time takes quite long. But it seems that e-on is finally on the right track on getting displacement to work properly on all objects. Vue even showed me the estimated preparation time and responded when I switched to another application. This is a big plus considering the last updates. :-)
