World Machine Terrain Test
An article by 
Some World Machine terrain heightmap + textures on Unity terrain (doesnt look good at near distance)
Seems quite low resolution? Using default specular terrain shader.
Maybe some of these shaders would be better, http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/146808-ats-Colormap-terrain-shader-RELEASED

Did you know, you can download any 3m accurate landscape data from all us states for free and rest of the world also for 10 30 90m accuracy. then you can greyscale it for example by opening a DEM file in microdem program. only problem is i attempted slavishly for 2 hours to obtain a greyscale map from the world geometry survey data and all the file formats are fyuqed up.

anyways, once you have real world data, its cool, you can use it as stencils on top of perlin maps and anything. this is the best erosion model i found:
