Ok, im trying to make a jungle for an animation project im working on.

I have Xfrog 4 as a plugin, so modelling trees and plants isnt the big issue for me, its the ground (terrain).

Sure i can make a NURBS plane, and raise cv's etc. but how do i make it look realistic as possible without adding like 60 billion polygons! lol

I just want a ground, where it looks like there is bumps, leaves, twigs etc, but balancing it with minimum rendering times as poss. as i need to batch render.

Thanx in advance
