This is a terrain in the foreground, which slopes up from the river, and there is a dip over to the right behind the reeds. It is like that all the way, but I agree that once it gets beyond the cows it looks too flat. I tried raising it more in the background, and I tried another terrain between this one and the mountain ones. But whatever I did it always looked like small hills in front of the mountains, and not a gradual slope up to them. I can never seem to get my mountains to slope down gradually. They always look like the Eiger - virtually straight up out of the meadows. I have tried painting them, generating them, generating terrains in Terragen and using those, and mountains which look very natural in Terragen straightaway look like these ones in Vue.

If anyone knows what the trick is, I should be very grateful to know what it is, because in every image with mountains I end up opting for the flat meadow because the gradual slope never looks like a gradual slope, but a bunch of unnatural hills just in front of the mountain.
