[updated]
I've been experimenting with terrain again for Datsville. The idea is that if the slope of the terrain is lower than a certain value, studs should be applied (currently, 1x1 plates). If the slope of the terrain is greater than that value, the mesh remains smooth and un-studded. The results are interesting, but don't look all that great. I could make better use of World Machine's terracing feature.

You can download the files here:

The file "mesh_wrapper.ldr" is the one to look at in LDView.
[edit]
The project is on GitHub now.
https://github.com/mjhorvath/Datsville
And I wrote a wiki article.

Still a very complicated process however.
