Thank you. I've been trying heightfield, and it produces a perfect texture,
but when I try to combine it with the bread in a difference or intersection,
it won't render properly, and always eventually causes Moray to crash. I
havn't tried isosurface yet, it might work, but render times with
isosurfaces are sooooo slooooowww.
