Thanks for the advice! I think height field is the way to go with this one. I tried
normals
& can't get the look that I want. I want just the brown soil look but a little rocky.
I have
two height fields intersecting to form the rock cliff for my background. It makes it
look
like you are looking into a corner. Hopefully there will be a dragon standing in the
corner
when I am finished.
Thanks,
Kathy
