is there a way in filterforge to generate a texture that changed depending on a highmap. say a mountain range and the user has a hightmap, they put it in and where ever there is a high area, the user gets back the texture having snow in that area...

is that possible?

You could achieve something like that with the help of an Elevation Gradient.

you could also just do a blend over the mountain with a snow cap routine. wouldnt be too hard, i would think.
If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!
