    this started out as seeing what it would be like to import the heightmap from NASA data of Gale crater, where the Curiosity rover is situated...
    i filled it will some water and found it made a pritty cool terrain..

    anyways this is WIP..i want to place alot more in it yet...needs alot of trees and plants aswell..but they will pritty much come last..






    WIP Beta

    Version 0.3 will be a rebuild from the terrain up as the heightmap i originally imported was way to small and caused sharp edges in the terrain layers
