This is a 'beta' terrain of mine that I created over the weekend. I was talking to my wife about wanting to create a unique terrain, and I got me a new nifty cheap digital camera. She said why not take a picture of something and use it, so while she was all snuggled up in the bed, I took a picture of the covers, her face, the pillows and wall, only thing showing of her is her chin up, so sorry to the perverts :)
Anyway, I did a greyscale conversion of it, modified the tint etc. and created a height map, then applied it to a 64x64 at 16x16 quadrants type of terrain, this is just a small snapshot of just her face part of the terrain after smoothing and stitching work done. (no she doesn't have a mole on her face, it was a bright spot on her nose)

Well its a "different" way to go about it I guess but hey, if it works, then why not?
Very cool.

Definitly looks like a terrain, I don't see anything in the terrain that reminds me of a human in there at all, so well done!!
