 A well designed gradient grey scale pigment on a plane makes a great
image for a HF to be used as lap siding on a house.

 A cross hatch pattern in black and white can make some very intricate
lattice grill work for a variety of designer and interior/exterior
appliactions.

 I have also used those weird fonts called wingdings (?) that have
symbols of objects like phone booths, telephones, etc. as text in an
image and then use the image as a HF and instant objects in that shape.

 Small rough HF's make realistic looking mold and moss for trees and
also are good for very rough patches of rust on metal.

 A piece of swiss cheese can easily be modeled with a HF object by
making random sized black dots on a white background.

 HF's make great roads and can be created using a striped gradient on
a plane for the image. Strips can be added later with flattened boxes.

 Animations of ripples on a pond can very easily be made using multiple
HF images. The same is true for advancing swells on a lakes surface.

 A lawn with grass can be simulated using a high percentage white noise
function on a black bacground as a HF object.

 Very rough bark, or not so rough bark, for a tree can easily be made
using a HF object.

 Furniture can be simulated by using a HF object.

 There are so many more possibilities I could go on for hours :)
