This is compressed (HyperCam screen capture to gif), but I was happy to see the results of what a default Max 'dirt' texture looked like in DWARF;

IPB Image
(I put the dirt terrain mesh above the ground)

I was not able to get shadows to show-up. I tried F7, and I reduced the number of lights in the DWARF scene to one spot. I did have the cast shadows selected. And I reduced the scene's ambient light to 0. It looks like the objects scale affects the objects brightness in DWARF? When I added the dirt mesh at a Scale value of 1, it looked like it had a very bright ambient light to it. When I scaled it up to 4 or 5, it lost it's very bright ambient light (looking like the example above).

Great to mess with, I look forward to doing more with DWARF smile.gif .
