I have created multi-room or multi scene environments by building different "sets" in different parts of the world (think of the world as a big soundstage) using camera markers to move the camera from setting to setting. He could use the techniques that others have suggested from moving form grass to sand to dirt, etc as part of the transitioning.

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

If just the latter, you can extract the image.png from the dirt world (name it dirtTexture.png), and then, in your world, highlight ground and import dirtTexture.png as a texture map.  Once you do that, you can call "set skin texture to" and change it back and forth between grass and dirt.
