I love Carrara, however, I find the landscape generator frustrating.  My main problem is with the tools for editing the terrain map.  They are primitive and clumsy.  Am I missing something?  It seems like the expectation is that I should do more with the filters and generators, but I always end up trying to edit the terrain map to get the shape I want, and then I'm playing with a little tiny gray and white box that responds either too slowly or too quickly to the tools provided.

I have Bryce, but have never really learned the interface - does it provide more sophisticated tools for manipulation of terrain?  If so, I may give it a whirl.

Am I missing something with Carrara?  Can anyone point me to a tutorial that might help me generate terrain?

Thanks in advance,

Klebnor
