Hi,

this often is realized with heightfield.

This is a Picture you "paint" with Gimp or Windows-Paint.

Povray the calculates the height depending on the Color-value of a pixel.

I just finished a first version of a tool, that simplifies this a bit.

It uses macros from another Project (terraform), what is good to learn from
by reading the povray-includefiles.

Greets, Mark
