Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what the hell :P

I generally do all my work in Poser, in fact, make that "I do all my work in Poser"... :) And recently I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a Medieval Fantasy City type thing... So, what I was looking for was a landscape which I could render in Poser at a relatively decent distance away (gotta fit an entire city in there :P).

The way I had it pictured in my head was a VERY large meteor crater on the coast line, with a rock pinicle at the centre on which my virtual denziens would build their castle (see image).... One thing that isn't clear from this plan is that I was hoping to make the north-eastern edge of the rim cliff-like, so the rich people would have good views, and the south western side more of a low mound (so the docks will work). Obviously the east-south-east side needs to be ground level to let the river thru, and the north western side would need to be at least a sand bank to create the harbour...

The crater would also provide a natural harbour, and a prolific supply of rare minerals (lode stones, mithril etc), and with a river draining into it it would create the perfect site for a capital city.

Anyways, I'm more than happy to do all the post-work on the landscape adding the dockyards, buildings, castle, grime, flags etc... I'm not asking for anyone to do this render (commercially or otherwise), all I'm looking for is a decent landscape file I can import into Poser, so I can fiddle :P

Does anyone know where I could download anything like this which will work in Poser?

Hope this makes sense to someone out there... I'd _really_like to get this going...

Thanx,
Fych.

There's a .DEM somewhere of a 'crater' on VENUS done by the nasa boys. I'll see if I can find it. Regards The Bryster
