Hi George & All You Guys From 1998 : Anyway , here's another example of RS mesh displacement , however , this is a V3.53 example (image2mesh) . http://www.studiodynamics.net/images/moonmesh_1998.jpg
Turned out not bad , actually . Input is an awesome POV utility that also supports errosion/craters etc .
