The small ones were not textured yet when i took the screenshot, yes.

Yes, the dark "atmosphere" is exactly what i am after here. I am still
thinking hard, wondering if there??s a way to simulate rain...
As for the lights, they come from a problem with the normals on some
hard edges/creases in the rocks. It gets reflected wrong from some
angles - i am working on it.

Actually, that was the very first thing i did, but it haven??t made it into the
scene above, at least not yet. I wanted to make a micro-scene in the
larger landscape where one could set the camera exactly where the photo
was taken... But stopped this work halfway, when the amount of detail i
wanted grew to about 100 mb in my work file for the rocks alone (that
would be something like 10-12 MB extra for the 3ds scenery, actually
doubling the weight of this particular model). I am still undecided.
Here??s a screen of where i left off:
