Thank you indeed Sam! This is useful info. I do indeed use the free version 
of WM. What I often do (not here though) is to load the HF into GeoControl 
(or Leveller) and increase the resolution and maybe add some features before 
exporting to POV. I confess that I forgot about Terrabrush which I used in 
the past along with others. Also Terragen has been somewhat neglected by me 
these last couple of years. I like to have several and different 
possibilities for approaching a goal.
