Unfortunately for Vue that is a cloud photo, I took it out my backyard last year with a 6 mp camera, so it looks really good even at the large render size I did for the whole image (the bottom detail shot is a crop of the original full render size). Sadly Vue has always been lacking in realistic looking 3 dimensional clouds and I think at this point it's the number one requested feature from Vue users, not sure why e-on hasn't really seemed to listen as Terragen 2 is proving that it can be done (I've seen some amazing renders by some of the alpha testers posted on this site) Oh god, the horror! My terrain is actually split up into between 12 and 16 chunks and I think 81 billion might actually be a lowball figure for what this terrain as a whole would generate if you tried to fully forest it even at just the lower elevations. Might have to wait till Vue 8 (Ultima Infinitesmal Special Edition at this rate :) But that would truly be a sight to behold, a before and after shot of MSH with eco trees all over the place for the before would be amazing. Thanks, I keep going back and forth on whether or not to post it to the galleries, as I could never actually post it full size but it's even more breathtaking the larger it gets due to the eco-trees and the sense of scale they help provide.
