A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just (a terragen) misfit, I... ~Pink Floyd~

I had a hard time with this one. With all the water and clouds, everything was excruciatingly slow, even the preview window. I redid the surface layers umpteen times, trying to get it right. Been working on it for days. Even woke up in the middle of the night and realized I had been dreaming about positioning these bleeping surface layers, lol, hence the song lyrics. :)

Hello, I'm Mark...(Hi Mark) I'm a terragen'olic and have been for a year now...oops...wow..maybe we do need a Terragen'olic annonyomous group...I'm addicted too :)... I do believe you have stepped it up a notch or two..or twenty.. on your renders. This is awesome and you have progressed much faster than most terragen users...Bravo...excellent+++
