If you are talking about the cliff formation of the right - it's a premade mesh for sale at runtimedna.

there are still many ways to make something like that. I think there are some tutorials about complex terrain formations on this site.

I will look into it thanks,but I honestly dont think Vue can do that just yet.And oh how I would love to be proven wrong.Terragen 2 can do it no problem.Quite a bit more complex in fact.e-on should take some lessons:D

I would create the top part, flip unside down, add to the bottom part and then blend into the third terrain.  A lot easier than trying to carve an undercut.  

The other method is to create a canyon terrain and then turn it on its side.

Don't forget this fantastic tutorial by czarnyrobert.

It has everything you need to know to make this kind of rock formations in Vue.

You can also use twist to get a nice overhang effect.  Create a terrain.  Make it high for the parts that will overhang.  With the terrain selected, click the Numerics tab.  The second icon from the bottom is Twist.  Just grab the Z=>Y or Z=>X arrow point and give it a good pull.  The trick to this is you get one chance - don't try to twist it again - the whole terrain will screw up.  You can undo it and try again...  It take a few trys to get a good look, but it really does work fine.

Not an exact answer, but often people get good looking odd terrains by tilting them, using them upside-down and such - as Keenart suggests.

Sometimes poking one terrain up through another is good too.

Here is a single flat clipped terrain turned on its side, you could do a little more rounding and add a more suitable material. Nothing spectacular, but you can see how a terrain can create an overhang, by painting the surface and then clipping the terrain from the bottom up. You could create special smoothing or blending filters, you could do a lot more.
