Now, here we have a perfect weathered plain with the causual crater. Any
ideas on what to do with it? ;-)

It looks pretty neat to me. I really like the detail in the erosion.

  What to do with it ?  Well you could drop the camera a bit, add some
stars in the background, then bury one of NASA's martian landing craft
halfway into the surface. Call it "Mars Crash Lander".

No. No. :{)

Move the camera a bit to the right and drop it down some so we can see the
horizon while still looking at the same point in space. Cut a thin pathway
running up and around the face of the cliff. Build a sturdy, alien fortress up
on top of the mesa. Add in a bright nebula, moon or somesuch in the
background.

Or... Use an image editor. Invert the heightfield (this IS a heightfield,
right? Not an isosurface?) and make two copies. One has the craters
eliminated. One has everything else eliminated. With the heightfield inverted,
the craters are now domes. Make them Nasa domes situated on Mars or somesuch.
Put in a few Blobman spacemen, and a roving Mars buggy or two.

Build some 'alien' ruins on it, throw in some surreal cosmic detailing and pop
it off to IRTC.

Seeing that that kinda looks like water erosion, why not forget the abused
space-senario a go under water, deep under water, back in time,, where
dinosours ruled the oceans, caustics, media sun-beams. Small vagetational
growth... $0.02.

bye for now...

No no no... you've all got it wrong. The proper composition involving this
hf would include several strategically placed chrome spheres!

Am i the only person who hasn't gone insane?

Perfect except for one thing, it doesn't continue on all sides into the horizon
:-(
It really has a great appearance, definitely.  Going to have to use it closer up
obviously.  Maybe try to put a roving vehicle on it to see how well it can drive
over the terrain.

But chrome spheres are so overdone. Hmm.. o.k.. how about not inverting it;
triming the edges of the hf to the base of the hill; make it a frosted glass
sculpture except where the craters are; make that clear glass; put a clipped
chrome sphere floating slightly above each crater, open end pointing down; put a
bright point light under each sphere, shining down into the depths of the glass
sculpture. Place the whole thing on a wormwood table with a nice soft area light
and use radiosity. Put media_interaction on for all sphere lights, but not the
scene's area light. Then add a little scattering media to give a foggy glow
emitting from under the chromic spheres.

There.

Cetainly not. :{)

That looks like a hf created with Bryce; am I right? I like it very much, even
if it is made using Bryce <BG>.

Needs a bunch of rocks thrown on it, and some small bugs gathering around a
water hole. You could use the trace function to do those things (hint hint).
