Hi Rich,

Yes it does. You can make separate rock objects and also use those rock objects in a population to cover large areas. There is a fake stones shader which can be used to create larger rocks down to small pebbles and smaller over a surface. TG2 can do undercuts.

Have a look through our gallery and you will see various examples of these things in use:

Also have a look in the Image Sharing area of the forums. Here's a recent image showing TG2 rocks:

There was a discussion on using the Fake stones shaders a few months ago.
See the following thread for details:

It has some useful scenes that you can download to see how they are setup.
