Continued--Now you have a mountain range with meadows below with spring wildflowers. You can change your sky, change your material, alter each of your moutains by selecting each one and then chooseing E and going back to the terrain editor and playing with them there, etc. You can change your camera viewpoint. At this point, Rita, I'd just play with it. If you have any questions, ask. This is as basic as I can think of doing it. There is SO much more that can be done, but I understand if you are frustrated with it, you just don't know where to begin. The manual is 'bassackward's in my opinion. OFten it talks about something that is way back in the manual that you haven't come to--pain in the you know what. After you get a little feel for how to at least make mountains and grass, then you will start to play with it and see all the possibilities. Other materials may work better--sometimes the same on the low land AND the mountains works better. I also like to take my mountains and lower the edges just a bit below the 'plane' to make them 'merge' better. You might not want to 'smooth' your mountains at all in the beginning either. Try that. (I'm posting my pic above so you can see what I got with exactly the same directions--I worked as I wrote). Diane
