Go and stand in the corner then!  ....................

By any means necessary, Ulco!
Doing some cool, non-landscape TG experiments now, and not a photo in sight so, no corner for me at the moment.
I think I have the render bug back in full(fool?) effect. Spent so long rendering music recently, I forgot how much fun was to be had doing visuals. Back for the meantime, anyway...

That's what I like to hear!

damn! 
i was thinking there was something fishy about those clouds.
i was going to say "those clouds look too real to be terragen" i but i didnt.

I'm going to have to let you all down. The clouds are a photo. Damn! I've even let myself down!

[dandelO]

Heehee!
Well, I did wonder how long it would take until someone either asked for a sky clip or, cried "J'accuse!"
To be honest, it was no big surprise that it turned out to be Matt who seemed to smell the aromatic fish first!

I think I'll take it as a compliment that anyone thought I might be that good at all!
It is, indeed, a lovely sky though, eh? I've got loads of sky photos that have been too good to let pass by on the wind. Say one thing about about Scotland, say it's always f*@?ing cloudy!

Jon, Matt, everyone.
I' going to have to let you all down. The clouds are a photo. Damn! I'e even let myself down!

Hannes: I'm sorry, I mistook your name in your post for 'Hetzen', which is why I wrote 'Jon' in my reply. :/

Jo: I'm sorry, I mistook your name for 'Jon', which is why I wrote that in my reply. :/

That's ^^ my stories and I'm sticking to it/them! ?¿?

[choronr]

Notwithstanding the sky photo, this work fires enthusiasm ...so good to have you back.

DandelO,
Just put the music to an animation 

Bjur,
I dont feel like node trees ever become friendly

Very nice work. One thing I would say though is that the background is stealing the show. the sky and cliffs are great. Your eye is directed to that gap. To counter this you need to make the cars really stand out. Have one closer and maybe brighter colour otr something with a different POV. The background is really well sorted yet you need to almost forget about it now and get the cars as focus.

Something regarding the overly-reflective looking car paint... The reflectivity isn't actually all that over the top, what is making it appear so is a fractal shader the same colour as the sand, after the reflective shader. I think I should have masked out the reflectivity by the invert of the fractal-dirt node, instead of simply adding the fractal to the bodywork on top of the reflectivity as it is still clearly showing through the fractal... No update yet, just something I realised when thinking about it.
