The rocks are too round, maybe a little noise and some geometrical editing would make it look a bit more realistic.

I was making a coast map myself, not near finished tho. I was about to name it as dm_coast. Seems i need to change the name

The tutorial on displacement caves on this site is really stupid and makes crappy looking tunnels, so don't follow it. If you didn't, well just FYI don't use it later on.

What is with you being such a bastard these days Yak? Seriously man, the tutorial might not be perfect but its far from stupid or crap. Obviously you will be able to get better results through painting all of the geometry yourself, but the tutorial is giving an overview of all the other tools available with displacement surfaces and it does that plenty well enough. If you think if is so poor, then why havent you given suggestions for improvements, or even written your own? With you its less "constructive criticism" and more "make the person feel like an idiot" it seems

I get the point

also, I dont write tutorials because I suck as a 'theoretical' or teaching mapper and can barely figure stuff out on my own, let alone write tutorials about it. I do know however that sewing four displacements together in a round fashion to make caves creates dumb unnatural terrain that has no place in a good level. It would be better to not sew them at all and do each wall individually, but since the tutorial doesn't say that it can and will mislead newbies into thinking it is acceptable to do it the aforementioned way. In fact I would go as far as to say that sewing together any displacements that are supposed to be at right angles with each other (EX cliff face and ground) should be avoided at all costs and almost never done.
