      I think Box's suggestion with a displacement map is the best route for this.

      If rendering from a distance be mindful of the texture tiling.

        Displacement map would only work with 3rd party rendering programs, not so?

          He mentions rendering so I presume he means to output a rendered animation.

          If not then Jim's Random TIN or Christina's Erode are only quick option to shift terrain height.

          Or even Thom's Bitmap to Height.

              You might want to experiment with the extension "CLF Greeble".

              Greebles are random bumpiness in models. Think of large starships in sci-fi movies. All that crazy bumpiness and detail, from afar, is often created with greebles. A lot of apparent detail without large amounts of geometry. If your flyover is graphically conceptual, you can apply some random materializing. If it's photo-realistic, apply actual detailed aerial imagery of landfills.

                You can use skatter to scatter garbage on any area in your control.

                I love Sketchup

                        ...which is what I tried - and it worked quite well even.
                        With Bitmap to Height I made some proxys which could be replaced then within the renderer (similar to scatter which I donยดt have so far however).
                        This way is good for detailed views and should be complemented by scattered detail-rubbish additionally where needed.
                        In any case - all the methods mentioned here are useful in combination...

                        I would like to see any picture impression, which visuall result is striven by Bulbangs?

                          Thank you to all who responded. You've all helped immensely with your suggestions. Here is the first pass of the render. Still have a few adjustments to make but the client expressed satisfaction with the output. ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  How did you proceed now?

                                    Modeled the huge pile using sand box and textured it with a map. I then used skatter to add thousands of objects to litter the surface to create the top layer trash.

                                      Create rubbish? There are a few of my earliest models.... ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                                      Seriously, it's going to be the textures that solve your problem. I did a model of a recycling metals company and I found some very useful (free) textures at textures.com. I suggest you check there.
