it successfully to create crop fields and place trees around a
farmstead on the prairie.
Terragen has a specialized shader to simulate water.
Adjustments are available to affect surface waves, color reflec-
tivity, and other adjustments to create a glassy lake, a river or
even an ocean surface. The most important adjustment on a
water layer is the level which will bring it into your scene, and
keep it confined to a lake or river bed.
Fractal shader layers do a pretty good job of simulating dis-
tant grass and bushes, but eventually your scene will need
more detailed objects such as trees, weeds, and grass nearer
