That looks *really* nice. Good job! I haven't yet peeked at the revised code,
but will.
I like the grainy 'grass' texture too. I reminds me very much of a kind of
coated-paper material I bought when I was a kid, for making model-train
landscapes. It had a rough surface texture-- not just printed on-- that was made
of various green shades of some kind of ground-up material glued to it, maybe
cork(?) As I remember it, the visual effect looked almost exactly like your
render. I loved playing with that stuff; it added a very realistic look to my
train layouts and other models.

You will like it, I am sure. :-)

Yes, I know what you refer to indeed. I remember that paper too: iirc,
it was some tough paper which you could wrinkle with your hands and it
could simulate mountains and meadows. Aaah...! modelling landscapes
before POV-Ray! ;-)

This would make a great combination with (and tribute to) Friedrich Lohmueller's
trains and tracks, along with many other objects that people have modeled over
the years.

What an excellent idea! Going to seriously think about this. Let you
know. Got a few ideas maybe, that would rekindle a couple of scenes that
got on hold somehow.

The project could not be complete without the original macro of Gilles
Tran. So, with a few minor changes, I added the original macro, with the
possibility to switch between the two and, why not? mix both into the
same scene.
Latest version to be found in p.b.scene-files.

Hi Thomas,
I haven't looked at the code but the result is very interesting. From a distance
it produces a very nice forest.

Yes, it does, doesn't it? I am somewhat surprised why this trick has not
been used more often. As far as I can tell presently, Gilles Tran has
been the only one and not that often either.

It seems you're getting very good control over this !

My many years of total isolation in a cave, deep in the desert, seem to
finally bear their fruits... :-)

Finally getting round to the train tracks, and I found a couple of bugs
(missing lines) in two of the include files. In both
RT_Track_Switch_B_00.inc and RT_Track_Switch_Y_00.inc, /before/ line
221, the following line is missing:
#local Height_Top_Edge_Rail = Height_Rail_Top;
It should then be followed by:
#local Rail_H = Height_Top_Edge_Rail-SH;
So you can check.
