I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. If you mean stuff like the planty things here: http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/images/screenshots/screenshot_593204.jpg and here: http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/images/screenshots/screenshot_242171.jpg then you simply make it a slope and slope down all of the parts you want to be lowered.

You can make very sharp spikes but the bases will still be 1 cube unit square, so it's a bit clunkier than grass, and assymetrical (symmetrical requires 2 cubes per sym. axis). If these are done spaced a particular way, the player will ride on a surface height lower than the points, with the points appearing in the player's view or above (in your face, in other words). Good effect but not much like tall grass, maybe a field of some strange Cube spike plant.

As to MY heightfield tutorial .. It's the 8 and 9 key on the letter keyboard, not the numpad ;) .

Is that what it is in the original config? If so then I should probably change it.
