Whats great about this, is you have two options now as a sculptor! 1, the vector, which is awesome. And 2, you can just bring in the entire sculpt as an object. You cant even do that in Maya for gosh sakes
Additionally once the sculpt is in, you can still work in the shot because the system can take it.
The benefit to bringing in the vector over the object is the smooth blend into the rest of the planet you will get. And it is then a simple mater to add color and displacement with Terragen's usual tools and nodes. Although some member have shown quite nice results of doing similar to an object. (I would encourage Ulco to do a tut on coloring and texturing objects in Terragen! If he ever feels like making a tut, that would be the one I would vote for
)

Its a beauty! You got a great result! The pink in the stone brings to mid marble. And the hole is scary. I know there is something terrible down there. It will kill me if it gets the chance
But I am going to kill it first!
