Height_field of course! You are right; I forgot that. It explains the 
crude, but effective (here), transition between the step and the dirt.

Your technique would work very well I guess, with an intermediate 
orthographic overhead render for localising the exact position of the 
objects needing dirt accumulation, then painting the dirt height_field 
image from that. Interesting idea: something I should try... Thanks Jaime!
