It's looking even better now. The rocks might need more variation in their
sizes, perhaps with some squishing and stretching. Are they height_fields?

Occasionally I think about new ways to populate a landscape with rocks. One of
these days I'll have to try modeling a set of them in Blender, decimating the
meshes to reduce the poly count. Now that I know an object pattern can be
created from a mesh, I'll have to try giving the rocks a proximity pattern...
