    I guess mostly I meant the "Random Peaks", which I interpreted as "Here's a random name for these mountains, just to be funny". I thought I had seen a few others, but probably just the name "Random Peaks" primed me to interpret other names like "Unpassable Mountains" in a more tongue-in-cheek fashion as well.
    I think, therefore I am a nerd.

    Sorry for that impression, but they change their height so seems like random enough for me.. right?

    Anyway got a really important question to all of you who use photoshop. And I mean Important, with capital I. In Ascension's tutorial, he uses light effect render to create mountains. I need to know if there is a way to get those sharp edges, rocky edges without any shadow. Imagine a mountain side which is directly under the sun, so the effect would be that what is higher is white, and what is lower is gray, without casting a shadow behind the mountains. Is it even doable? (yes, I know that in photoshop it wouldn't or shouldn't resemble real mountains, but I need that for an experiment). Please help a newbie...

    If you put enough lights (probably omni lights) on it then that would cancel out the shadows.

    Is there any chance that I'd be able to make that adjustments to those (Grackslu's) mountains? And many wide or many small omni lights?

    If you have the original clouds and difference clouds layers then you can.
