   Thanks, Sam...  the grass is just a simple and dirty trick, but works
fine. I first used a simple image map with a grass picture from
mayang.com, but obviously this looked too flat at most angles. It just
occurred to me that I could add scattered mesh-blades to dissimulate the
problem while benefiting from the realism of the image map. This worked
because I used the same image map as source for the blades green tones.

   And yes, the ends of the "isorange" are not very well done: when I
modeled these for a still-life years ago, they were always resting on
its end, so I never got to see the problem until now... :(
