The reason why I am interested in isosurfaces as landscapes is their resolution
independence and the fact that they permit overhangs. As fast and simple as
the heightfield is, certain landscapes cannot be done well with them. I've
developed a fascination with canyon landscapes recently, and I'm always on the
lookout for alternate techniques.

texture to match the rock layers is very difficult.)
