1) How do you create a terrain without the square base? I'm trying to make a floating Island, and I don't want it to be a symmetrical lattice. 2) How do you create realistic high altitude scenes? I'm trying to create a world inside a gas giant, whereby you can't see the ground below, only clouds. Clouds above and billowy clouds all around. I created the above scene with a symmetrical lattice. It looks too uniform, top and bottom. Not natural at all (yeah, OK, I know a floating Island is not natural, hold the sarcasm). Secondlly, I removed the ground plain and replaced it with a cloud plane. But, it looks like its over and ocean. The centre of my world is a hazy orange. Finally, as you can see there are now billowy clouds. I'd love to add some for drama and scale. Novice Brycer eagerly awaiting advice from my masters. :-)
