It's a shader that you can implement in your game.
From 3Dsmax you get a mesh with vertexcolors, which you then import into your game and apply the shader to it.
The shader basically does the unwrapping at runtime, so you can deform the terrain at runtime in any way you wish.
Think Red Faction 3 or so. 
Ah, thanks for enlightening me 
A little lift I made, the final model was rendered in 3ds max. By the way, does anybody know how I can set up a glowmap in 3ds max? Right now I did paint the glow of the lights on the diffuse map, in d3 I would have a seperate texture for that. Couldn't figure out how this works in max

Overview:
Paint a separate texture, open up the material editor, click on the little grey box next to "Self-Illumination" and pick your bitmap.
Nice model btw =)
Awesome stuff, one more image for my "Inpiration" folder! 
great job as always BJA, you'r env art skills are evolving a lot!
Ah, thanks Mino that's what I was looking for
@HP: Thanks, but I still got a lot of things to learn.

Dear Mr. Minos, you forgot to tell us the tri count, the texture size's, wheter or not you used specs or normal maps, and if you did, you should post the texture sheets.
Just trying out ZBrush, just a beginner however.

c&c are welcome
I would add a penis, 'cause when I look between my legs I see a penis, so you should add one to your model too.

A bin I made today. Uses a 512x512 diffuse and a 256x256 spec map. I'm not going to make a normal, I don't think it's worthwhile.

Some props for my next map all grouped nicely together

its less about the model but more about the render but what the hell it doesn't really deserve a thread of its own:

If I'm understanding this correctly, you replicated the scene in the first pic, on MR? Wait.. erm, wha? OMFG!!
