Have you ever tried to create realistic terrains by sculpting them? If you are like me, you are wasting your time. Here are some epic pluggins that take all the effort out of making terrains, by simply taking the data from google earth automatically. (no I'm not joking.. if you are like me you have spent a lot of time trying to find GeoTIFFs or DEM files, or whatever of the earth to bring them into Vue or Cinema.. or whatever... and to no avail. This will require cinema 4d. I have studio, but I'm guessing it will work with the version that comes with after effects CC.
These plugins cost money.. but so does all the time I wasted doing this manually!!
If only I had this site a year ago... but anyway. Here is one for getting textures:

Here is an awesome plugin for getting the elevation data (imports it directly into cinema with simple copy and paste of coordinates from google maps. (not joking)
