Tadew: How do I move my camera and lamps? Also I tried creating this hills with constraint to the z axis and it still came out flat with moutain tops stcking out flat...



Panels vs. Tabs
mugatu: hi, it would be great if there's a consensus along the tutorial about what is a panel and what is a tab. For example in the Texturing the terrain section first it says Shading Tab (F5) and later it said Shading Panel (F6). It took me some time before i realized that these where both the same and the F6 was actually a mistake. I made the changes, hope that's ok.
 * Sorry for the mistake. I'm not very good about being consistent with what I call things.  Thanks for fixing it. Moohasha (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Rendering
Stu: I figure most people should be able to figure this out eventually, but rendering with the suggested 100 by 100 grid takes a real long time (at least on my hunk of junk), and the impatient noob (e.g., myself) may think he's doing something wrong, especially given that up to this point in the wikibook, minimal rendering has taken place, so he doesn't know what to expect during said process. Please address this in the tutorial! Also, it's easy to end up with the camera placed poorly so that you end up rendering the bottom of your landscape, and again the noob may wonder what the deal is with the black-as-his-heart bit of landscape appearing before his eyes. Warn the unwary about this, too!
 * Thanks for the suggestion. And you're right, it does take a long time, especially if you're trying to render the whole thing instead of just a portion.  I'll through something in at the end about it. Moohasha (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
