Yes, i already considered working on those steps.  I decided to submit the
scene i am currently working on myself to the IRTC - when this is finished
i will try to find some time for those steps.  

It's somewhat tricky because of the non-rectangular angles but it should
be possible.  

BTW, the bases of the houses in the original image seem to mainly consist
of quite rough bricks.  It could be a good idea to use heightfileds there
to get some structure.
