Hi all, I was trying to get this in Vue last night but couldn't figure it out (I'm not in front of it now, so bear with). Let's say I want to create a material from scatch (we'll keep this easy) that uses green as a color on the more "flat" areas of a terrain, and grey on areas with more slope? I'm working on simulating moss on rock applied to a terrain. On Vue 4 there is such a material in one of the scenes, I remember it stood out very clearly. But I'm interested in building it from the ground up, because I can't seem to get it. A sample terrain I've been using is more or less a smooth terrain with little rock "buldges." I know I'll get it to work when the sides of these bulges show grey, while the tops show green. Does this make any sense, and come someone help explain how to make this? Thanks, Brian
