A screen shot of a work in progress inside Hero Engine, the same engine that made the recent Star Wars MMO. Here's the grass and dirt textures. Next would be to get some models in the game and work on a sand texture. Right now they only have exports for Maya and 3D Studio. :( They did say they will add in support for Blender for the indies.

If you can make 3D models and like to help, give me a note and some examples of your work. :)
