I’ve done a similar style terrain and posted the .tmd files for a couple different methods I came up with. The discussion was in this thread.

And the reply where I put my workflow:

How to create "folded" mountain ranges?

I ended up coming up with a slightly different process that doesn’t use Displacement or Distortion but, instead, a Ramp device on a blurred version of the terrain. The amount in the Blur device will control how closely the ridges follow the terrain (the “scale” of the folding, as it were). The rest of the process remains largely the same. foldedRange.tmd (173.9 KB) Edit: For posterity, I also recreated to the best of my ability the original process. Here’s that for you: foldedDistortion.tmd …

Hopefully this can be helpful to you!
