And it's a really nifty program. I've started making pretty cool scenes in this. Here are my first tries, when I barely understood how to use the program:<P><a href="http://fabrux.virtualave.net/scenes/terrain1.jpg">Terrain 1</a><BR><a href="http://fabrux.virtualave.net/scenes/terrain2.jpg">Terrain 2</a><BR><a href="http://fabrux.virtualave.net/scenes/terrain3.jpg">Terrain 3</a><P>Regrettably, I managed to create two scenes that, when I went to render them, the program froze (this is understandable, considering it hasn't been released as of yet) However, once I figured out how to use everything, I created a world that should prove very useful for creating many scenes. Here's the first scene:<P><a href="http://fabrux.virtualave.net/scenes/scene1.jpg">Scene 1</a><P>This scene took my PC, a Celeron 500 with 64 MB RAM 49 minutes 52 seconds to render. It contains 676723 quadrilaterals.
