After I did this tutorial
Texture Tutorial I decided to give it a try with a flat shape. That's right, I wanted to see if I could apply an image to a background. So I used the 2D face vertical surface from the palette and then I went to the Material Lab and I uploaded an image I had on my computer, I mapped the 2Dsurface with it. Then I added a tree in the background, a hillock in the foreground with a few flowers.
...the hillock was also texturized with a grass texture image I had!!!
