Giles Tran's grass macro rewritten and a rock maker macro which I don't remember the
author of.

Hmm. Nice. Only one negative comment: the sky seems to be a bit dark for
the time of day and the scene is a little lacking in brilliance. Gamma
problems?

Who says it's a "here and now" Earth sky? It could be from the times when wizards and
magicians ruled the Earth.

Don't think (hope) so.

Nice rocks/grass and the sand looks pretty good, could maybe do with being a bit
more grainy.

Earth?  Who says it's Earth?  ;-)

Nice! I do like those alien plants.

It does look a bit dark-- but it also reminds me of what our eyes do when they
first confront a really *bright* scene: they kind of temporarily 'shut down' for
a moment, to adjust to the brightness.

In any case, a nice image, with a 'mysterious' quality.

I like this!

I learned (from Clipka) to put some 'glass' beads (properly scaled) in 
the forefront. It enhances the sand feel. Otherwise, a granite 
micronormal normal, also only for the front half will give the right 
sandy effect.

At this moment, I know of two rock makers: Bob Roseman (PRThull Rock 
Tool, a standalone app for Win95) and John VanSickle (Makerock.inc). 
There was a third one, which I lost over the years. I guess that is the 
one you used, deduced from the shape of your rocks. However, there may 
have been more rock makers abroad ;-)

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it was John VanSickle's makerock.inc.
I have never used a W95 program for it.
