Actually, it's the preliminary result of an erosion setup I have going. 
The attached image shows what it can do so far. It still needs more work 
done to it before it can simulate sharp-edged "Alaska style" erosion.

All I'm really doing is using trace() on a height_field and updating the 
vectors to correspond with the surface normal. The objects are cylinders 
which grow bigger the longer they are "alive."
