    Well that works quite nicely!!

    I have attached a map of the Falkland Islands that I generated with this method in about 5 minutes after completing these steps outlined above. I ran the generated height field as a bump map 3 times to get the higher mountains.

    The res is not all that great 'cause when I opened the file in gimp it was set at 72 px. I cropped it in Gimp because I didn't have the coords on hand to do in FWtools, but I think that it shows the value of using the method none the less

    Repped and 5 rated by me at least

    :edit: need to spread the love some more before I can rep you again. Sorry.

    I just have one word (but it requires me to type at least 10 letters)...excellent!
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
