# How to use Nest with the following function? [closed]

I would like to ask your help with this problem I have to use Nest.

Checking the code that shared @Sascha in this thread Generate landscape by cutting a plane, I am trying to do in the pc the part that says Advanced usage, but the problem is that I do not know how to use Nest with the step function of that section, since you can not put

Nest[Step, RandomVariate[0, 0.02], 0, 1500]


because I am getting error, maybe someone from you can clarify me how to do the 1500 iterations that are mentioned in that thread.

There is a big difference between the built-in function Step and Sascha's function step.

step[dist_][prev_] :=
With[
{stepsize := RandomVariate[dist],
rand := RandomReal[{-1, 1}]},
prev + stepsize Sign[rand x + rand y + rand]]

SeedRandom[9];
Plot3D[
Evaluate @ Nest[step[NormalDistribution[0, 1]], 0, 1500], {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
ColorFunction -> "GreenBrownTerrain",
Boxed -> False,
Exclusions -> None,
BoundaryStyle -> None,
Axes -> None,
Mesh -> None]


### Edit

I have changed the plot options. The final effect is to give a more eroded look to the terrain, more Appalachians than Alps. It also plots much faster because exclusions are not being considered.

• Thank you very much for your quick response, it is true that it is faster, but I really like the finished Sascha I mean the crumpled or embossed landscape, to achieve it I must take into account Exclusions? – bullitohappy Feb 24 '17 at 17:43
• @user1935664. Sasha did not reveal the details of how he plotted his landscape. I have not been able to find the options which reproduce the the look he gets. I believe he must have specified some options concerning exceptions, but don't know what they were. – m_goldberg Feb 24 '17 at 23:06
• I have been very clear the reason about the null information of Sascha for the construction of the landscape, thanks for the help of Nest – bullitohappy Feb 25 '17 at 3:00
