Hi Kim, It's good to hear it is possible. I was wondering about that on the grounds that it could possibly be used on a planetary level for things such as flight simulators myself. On a side note, it could be possible to use the tile method to do things such as progressive changes in the clarity of water as well, which could be useful for things such as the shift in water clarity from say a tropical island to somewhere which is more industrialized and has much dirtier water.
