This is a 1/4-scale model of real-life Strawberry Canyon, above the UC Berkeley campus. A terrain model from the US Geological Survey with values posted on a 2-meter grid was subsampled to 4-meter postings, exported as IEEE float 32, rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and saved as a 1K by 1K RAW. That RAW was used as terrain tiled over four sims. In real life scale, this canyon would require an 8 x 8 sim grid.

The terrain texture is a 512 x 512 clip of actual orthoimagery that would go over one of the sims.
