obviously i have to learn handcoding with povray ;-). A new challenge to me!

Concerning the grass on my heightfield, i tried out the code from Alan
Holding. It works very fine to me. Thanks Alan, for the code. Unfortunately
i think my compi has not enough memory. 128 MB seems to be to less when i
set up the grass variable above 50000.
Nevertheless, i will try to understand the code, so that i can broaden my
skills.

furthermore, there is  lot to understand concerning slope texturing. My
heightfield has some kind of path leading to the lighthouse. Assuming, i
want all the heightfield textured with some kind of sand texture (added with
grass, like a dune) exept the path. This should look like gravel or
something in that way. I think, there is a possibility to do that. But
again, behind my skills...
hints are apprechiated ;-)


best wishes,

Robert
