I really loved your original idea. The transparency gives a very amazing effect here...

Thanks for asking about the terrain... First, I started with a Poser model. Once created, I converted the model to dfx format. My biggest challenge was finding a utility to change a model into a heightfield. I used dfx2mesh v11. I can't find the website at the moment and it's in Japanese, but it's the only converter out there like this that I know of. It creates a bmp heightfield from a dfx file. I then imported the bitmap using Firmament, and then played with the Bound Vertical to get the proportions right. The terrain itself is huge - 2049 x 2049. It had to be this big to compensate for the pixelation that occurred due to the bitmap import. Thank you for your kind comments.

OK. I still can't find a link to version 11, but I did find the original tutorial that pointed me to "dfx2mesh", and it does have a link to version 5, as well as the tutorial author's email. Here is the URL to the tutorial: http://ueno.cool.ne.jp/koyo/tutorial/tutorial.html
