It does do a random fractal surface (Very realistic) The programs creator says you can in fact create surface maps and import them into the program. I havent tried it, so it would be wise to email the creator about it and inquire about doing that (the program is in alpha/beta phase). You can also import real surface maps, but you have to change these to a .TER file (the programs own file extention) so the program can use them. There is an option that you can draw in landforms, but the results are very smooth round shapes. I tested it out a few weeks ago and made a crater lake. Anyway, its pretty good for very convincing landscapes in general (better than other programs, like bryce) ____________________________________________________________________ "Bailando en el fuego con un gran deseo" - India ____________________________________________________________________
