    Look at this video from the product page. Watch it the entire way through and you should understand. :)

    It consists of four elements...

    A Zone: The foreground terrain. You can morph this into different terrain features and apply relevant shaders.
    B Zone: The background terrain. Same as above for landscape features shown in the distance. This doesn't have to match the A Zone if you want to create some kind of difference between them.
    Atmosphere: This is a 'volumetric' thing, which basically allows you to create mist and haze - seperate to any HDRI skies you put in (the product also includes some of these, but you can apparently use any you already have). This is a great selling point, because of the added realism this feature would then provide.
    Water: A realistic water plane, complete with stuff like foam effects and so on, which is also transluscent enough to potentially show whatever is underneath, should you choose the settings to do so.

    So, basically, you choose whatever you need, apply whichever materials/shaders you might require and dial in the most suitable morphs for the general shape. It's an all-in-one, go-to solution for an incredibly diverse array of Iray landscapes. Additional products will do things like give it extra morphing/material features.

    It's a landscape and sky package, you can add any figures, buildings, or props to it . Keep in mind you need a powerful PC to run it with anything you add.

    Yes, you can put whatever else you like in the scene up to the ablities of your computer.  The A Zone works like any other ground you might put things on.
