Hello all,

I'm testing Vue d'Esprit 5 at the moment... I'm trying to do some stuff, but it seems i don't quite good understand how it works... Could someone help me on it ?

I would like to achieve a tropical island, surrounded with water (no problem on it, i just created water).

I came up with some kind of island, but not exactly what I want...

The mountain of the island seems not higher than 200m. --> is it a way to change this value in the terrain editor ?

What I would like to accomplish is some kind of "The Indestructibles" island. WIth a nice mountain of reasonable shape in its center. Or some kind of landscape that Marco Spitoni (you guys should already now that extraterrestrial, and its "The Hunt" (geez ! that guy is just killing !))

What I would like also to do is some texturing following this idea : from water to 10 m near water, I would like to have sandy beaches. Upper, it is plain grass, with trees and so on... In the higher areas, it would end with rocky terrain.

I accomplished the grass/rocks parts of it. But now, that I want to add another mixed texture to the terrain, it just tells me it can't add some more, as the original texture is already mixed. --> How you guys do some multi-texturing of this sort ? The eco-system is not at all the problem, after some mistakes, it is quite easy to understand, and to get what I want... Problem is the beaches.

Thank you for your help... Vue looks really interesting and a really fast ideas renderer... Meaning that you can't build so fast in other software pieces like Maya, or 3dsmax, or else...

Thanks guys,
