   After zooming in on the picture, I guess the whole ground is just one
heightfield, including the step and the interior ground, which were
textured differently by using a gradient y pattern, as you said.

   Anyhow, what Tommy wanted could be achieved in a similar way, by
painting/rendering a heightfield which takes into account the objects
that will be placed over it. Not easy nor simple, but feasible...
