Sounds cool!  In the rocket tutorial they take you through creating a rough
moonscape, which start out looking like a plane of bubbly cheese - until you
add a fractal displacement anyway.  There's a displacement tool that lets
you "paint" on the surface to displace it, left-click to pull, middle-click
to push - I could see creating an icecube out of a cube very easily with
that tool.

Specs?  It might make a good starter, with the ability to go R12k later on.

I'll check when I get home, my VPN link to home appears to have gone down
for some reason.  Probably Adelphia screwing up again.
