oh i know what it was! REAL 2: better terrain editing stuff. like... offset. so i can move the center of the terrain to the side, or to one corner. making the terrain bits go to/past the edges (every time i press the mounds button, the terrain shrinks towards the center). painting/unpainting effects like the stones and what nots. controlling effect densities and intensities (ie: pine tree fx only in a certain area or at a certain height, and intensity of .5 of a click.) some cool 2d fx for the terrain map, like geofrac has. twirling and making waves and stuff. solid mode for symmetrical terrains, so when i clip, there's not a big hole through the center. clipping high as well as low. overlapping high/low to clip out a center portion of the map. or multi clip sections. and clipping to 'mask' effect areas. (okay, this is based on how bryce works. well, if it's good...!) oh! rotation of the terrain pic, so you can get different angles on those erosion things, make the dunes face like diagonal and such, and get cracks that go the other direction.
