The completely horizontal structures in the terrain seem somewhat
unrealistic to me. They imply the material is very young but the
intensity and overall shape suggests it isn't.
Like all heightfield terrains this has serious problems with the structure
on steep slopes. You will have a hard time compensating that with
textures. In nature the steep parts are usually more structured than the
flat areas where loose material smooths the irregularities.
NTL this surely has potential for a good looking scene, my advise would be
to try making it *not* look like yet another Bryce/Terragen/... scene.

I may be nothing but a poor simpleton, but I recon that image looks
*amazing* already!

If you've got a digi-camera handy, take a few photo's of different
textures around the home or garden and try using one as an image_map and
play with the scale. If you haven't got a camera, use a scanner or nick
something from the web... ;)
You'll be amazed at what you can put on the surface of your terrain to
make it look real.
Nice so far though.

Hello!
First of all, it's seems to me that your final work will be great.

Secundo, I have questions: What's "World Machine" ? Is it free? Is it
availlable on the net?
TIA!
Ciao!

Cool.
Makes me think of Lake Powell.

Could this be fixxed by reducing the errosion in the steepest areas?

It made me think of the same thing.
Looks great! Can't wait to see it when it is more
detailed.

No, this is a general intrinsic problem of heightfields.
