We generally consider the "file sharing" section to be for sharing files that can be used directly in Terragen. In this case what you've linked to is a great reference, a very good *resource*, but it doesn't really fit the goals of this section just because it is in a "file format". It's a text resource and reference. I'll move it to an appropriate section. It's definitely a great share.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to put it but was assured it would move where it should when you noticed...and engrossing read is it not?

Yeah, it's a cool one. This is a more modern and practical take that is also worth a look: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399533451/

We have a bunch of reference images on our Pinterest if anyone is on there. Generally speaking that is a great resource for referencing just about anything, 3d modeling, texturing etc..

Further to cloud types I caught  a bit of a news report that said they have some new types they've pigeon holed for us...must research this...

well that was quick
