thanks mate...I'll go check it out

O K, I had that kinda results as well so I guess that's the best. I had tried that set up as well... You can only really flatten out  flattish geometry and that is with smoothing near as I can tell. Thanks for taking a stab at it.

It's not flat enough for you?

The flat is fine it's the transition from the Painted shader part to the terrain...is there a way to eliminate that, I suspect not as I've tried even using multiple Painted shaders and it just gets nuts...thanks for trying anyhow Jochen...appreciated...I'm on another quest (the V R comp) atm any way.

Ah, I see.
No way I know around that. Even a very soft SSS produces a visible transition.
Maybe 2 SSS (or painted shaders) one larger and warped to get a better transitional
area and another one for the totally flat area inside the first. Never tried that, though.
Good luck for your quest Bobby.

I was out for the week, but you got it now, I see. More softness with a 100% bevel in SSS, I guess.

hi all, thanks for the help on this. Reading through the above was also helpful re. painted shader!

Here's a render of where I ended up with some more tweaking for mountains/glaciers -- which still need more help! next challenge
