Check out the book in your local or school library... I think you would like

book it is much more detailed...

They are functions to be used for isosurfaces. They make excellent mountains and
are available within MegaPov .4

I read one of the Dune books, and apparently, almost all of the land of 
Arrakis was just sand with no rock structures. There was a huge "wall" 
of rock, I think it was artificial(maybe that is what happened to the 
rock formations, they were scavenged for construction material. I don't 
remember very well, though).

	And much better anyway... The film is a great comic show
once you've read the book, though I doubt that was the
intention...

    The film is comedic only if you don't take it as an insult. I found it
insulting.

In Dune the movie they clearly showed isolated outcrops of rock scattered
about the planet but yes everywhere else the planet was fine grained sand
dunes.

I found it no more insulting than the Star Wars movies are.

In closing, perhaps my scene is just showing a larger rock outcropping. :)
