Hello Earl, the texture is stretching when you pull the ground plane up high like that. You can eliminate this problem using Blender's stensil painting in the 3D view port. Do not paint on the texture in UV map mode, but repaint the texture in the 3D view port when looking directly on the flank of the mountain. Best regards, Tony

Yes, yes, it is in the video tutorial pipe line, as soon as my hand gets better. best regards, Tony.
