Thats not really a five step procedure. Well maybe with the remotion plug ins….
I think you could get it using mograph and thinking particles. Then play with the both TP/Mograph effectors./randy

That happened to me when I has too many fonts installed in my font book. I have around 100 now and it works fine.

There is a plug in for that at http://www.3dattack.us (I would have linked but the site wont load for me)
Or you can render the scene twice and composite.

You want to use belts.
I created a starter file here:
https://www.randyarchy.com/tear.c4d.zip*All I did was create two cubes with the same amount of subdivides as the plane I used for the cloth.
*Then I key framed the cubes to pull apart.
*After that I added a belt tag for the top and selected both the cloth and top cube. I dragged the “top cube into “belt on” section of the belt tag. Selected the points I wanted to connect and pressed set in the belt tag. (did this again for the bottom.)
*Dropped the plane into a Cloth Nurbs (MUST do for tearing to work)
Then I selected all the polys on the plane and “set vertex weight”(selection menu) then i painted where I wanted the rip.To make this text just add a texture with the text and an alpha channel.
There is a very good explaination of how cloth works in the help file too.
Hope it gets you started/randy

Here is another option.It is the second part of the series. You dont need to watch the first but its pretty good for learning the range mapper. If i had to pick just one tutorial as an introduction to xpresso this would be it.
https://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=125in short you use an expression to hold the point to a null. And then you control the null with xpresso too. I used this method to swing a light fixture just yesterday.

This really depends how much detail you need. The way you described sounds is perfect for super high detail but may be a little over kill. I cannot remember all the features in 8.5 but a relief object with a bitmap could be a more direct approach for the terrain. I think I would rely on textures for the paths and such going down the hill.
Hope this helps./Randy
