Beautiful.  I am such a hack in comparison....

May I ask some technical questions?

The mountains in the distance (love the layers) -- How did you do that?  It
doesn't look like a simple heightfield; maybe a hightfield on another? (or a
heightfield turned sideways towards the viewer?)

The trees (or vegitation) on the mountain foothills -- they look more 3d than
textured on it.  Did you loop a trace() and place green objects there?  What
sort of objects?

Similar question about the far trees across the misty valley -- how detailed did
you make them to have them come out looking like that?  (Obviously, you don't
need to model them to the leaf level at this distance).

And the close grass -- I've tried to make it with a bunch of triangles.  They
were all the same color, though.  How do you get all the colors?  You don't
model them individually, do you?

Thanks!

Tom A.
