You are right that is a good example of a faked landscape. It seems that if you use instanced in DA you will get HISM which I think is just as good as Foliage. The main problem I am still having is the same as **netcop0207. **Basically, if you instance the DA build it disregards all of your settings from the advanced tab. So you get the default collision and you can’t seem to change the shadows. That’s a big problem. You need to be able to turn off shadows and collision on the superfluous meshes. Its a must if you are using dynamic lighting. If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.
