Wow, really nice so far Thomas, looks great overall!

Here's an idea for some foreground detail: I often use some simple height_field
ledges/rocks scaled quite small and traced down to the surface with
Reorient_Trans, randomly scattered all atop/inside/through one another for some
detail. Or maybe simple isosurface rocks done in the same way, randomly scaled &
rotated.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your progress on this one.

Now I'm off to Amazon to order that book, I need a good read for the holidays,
thanks :)
