I am trying to make some scenes in Vue 7 Infinite, "similar" to the stunning Terragen renders posted by the artist MoppelundWilli here on Renderosity. [Like this one for example](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=892199) (but all his work is amazing anyway).

Keeping in mind of course that it is not the software but the guy at the PC that makes the difference, I wonder if these results are even possible with Vue? I have been doing a few tests (image depicted above, not much work and texture as it almost is as it comes with Vue!) but I can't get even close.

Even if I get a semi-realistic landscape as a base, once I start ecopainting rocks etc. it immediately becomes totally fake. For example I do not even understand how MoppelundWilli makes the bottom left rocks (in other images they even have a sliding trail). They are not modelled one by one because as he says these are straight Terragen (although he mentions "overlays", but I don't understand what he means).

Any ideas please?
