<grin> which reminds me so much of old Moby Dick:
[quote]
Starting at the unforseen concluding exclamation of the so suddenly
scornful old man, Stubb was speechless a moment; then said excitedly,
"I am not used to be spoken to that way, sir; I do but less than half
like it, sir."
"Avast! gritted Ahab between his set teeth, and violently moving
away, as if to avoid some passionate temptation.
"No, sir; not yet," said Stubb, emboldened, "I will not tamely be
called a dog, sir."

This takes it into the realms of OT because that reminds me in turn of
Opera.
1:33:45 into this, if you are interested.

I know it is nerdy but it's a favourite of mine.

Indeed it does but very appropriate nonetheless.
Also a favourite of mine :-)

It's very fine!
And could be very simple add a pebbled texture at the soil of the old city.

The streets need of course a good scrubbing ;-)
The most simple, like presently, is based on the height_field texture.
That needs an overhaul. However, especially for close ups, a street
surface is needed. That is going to be a different matter and shall be
built locally when needed.

I thought a simple texture based on the use of warp like the example
posted by Philippe some time ago (tex_Sol_en_galets).

I am not sure I remember that one. Still, it is the texture of the
complete height_field which shows through, so there would be need of a
partial reworking.

Sorry, I don't remember the news, but the code posted by Philippe
(2007-05-09) was very useful to me to understand the use of warp in
textures.
It's a silly idea use a duplicate of the height_field clipped by the
contour of the old city and translated a bit vertically?
