I further developed this piece of work by adding a sky texture to it. I did this by creating a sphere around the piece of land. Adding this texture is pretty much the same as the way I did it before.

land in 3D Max

Here is a render of the land I created on studio max, it was quite simple to do this effect. You are able to make the ground higher, lower, wider or higher by just holding the mouse down an dragging it the opposite direction. It took approximatley 10 minutes to complete.
