cause there is an issue with patch sizes and sooth surfaces.

If you set smooth terrain in the compute terrain, the ugly displacements go, but I agree it's a bit weird. But I guess the patch is so big, any later calculations can't really be made properly (to smooth in that surface layer). You could also use a second planet or even a huge plane for your mountain, btw. Behind trees anyway, so no edge would be visible.

PS Stormlord, I did try to find a chicken to do a scene like you had mentioned, but all the chickens weren in static blank stare pose with their feed side by side. I was going to do a parody one with a rubber chicken but it was just flat so looked odd just sticking up from the grass like a rubber-chicken spike.

So sad Jordan...
But your latest version with the hunter is not so bad at all!

Yeah i think thats where I am going. I threw in a plane for the mountain, actually, and have re-enabled the snow. Just gotta implement its masks into populations and rework that ugly field. 

Also thanks Stormlord.

I like the scene and particularly those clouds WAS. I'm glad to see a render from you. Equally as exciting as when I receive your (welcomed) support in the forums. Hope things start looking up for you and you regain the inspiration you are needing.

Any suggestions for plants form xfrog for the field? I haven't really gone through them all with attention to detail so not sure what to look for.

Honestly I've never used XFrog much for groundcover, I know they have some agriculture and flower packs but they're usually ~$150 - $200. The NWDA site usually has decent resource links though, and there's certainly freebies scattered on message boards here which has mostly been where I get my stuff.
