step 1 of 2

this is my set-up. i've selected all my objects, they are shown in red. There are three basic land terrains grouped together, set the attributes on negative so the land would not be seen under the water (which is somewhat transparent) and grouped them with my water plane which i set on positive attributes, so the intersecting gound planes would not be seen. This is how I created the lakes...

step 2 of 2

Top view of my set-up. You can see all my planes in here, the mountain terrain, the there land terrains, my water plane, and my moon. I set the mountain terrain and ground plane materials with a "mossy rock" texture....the water is "oasis" texture....the sky is the basic default, i moved the light direction to come from the left side, where i put the moon.
