[ Crop Circle Scene File](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/rrfilelock/download.php?fileid=46182&key=9791)

I'm going wayyy back here for a second, and dusted off some ancient files of mines.

A very long time ago I attempted to make crop circles in Bryce using 2D height maps...

Without confusing anyone or attempting to explain "my" method, I'd seriously appreciate any ideas or advice on how to approach making them...

The rendered image shown is my "best" try, but it's just not good enough to use in a "common" image set up (it may look ok for shots from above, but if I wanted to incorpoate figures/characters into a scene, no go), you can also see under the "top" where it appears to just be a "void"...

If you could, check out the included file, it has the scene file of the rendered image and the actual 2D height map used for the circle design. Any help, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated =)
