Brilliant, Just brilliant.

Absolutely Fab man...makes me long for a modern computer so I could do scenes this complex without having trees truncated, or the whole scene freezing up after 5 pops of any size....running into the same problems Bob had doing that sheep on the path scene he did near the end of his time here...still miss ya Bob...

[masonspappy]

that is beautifully done!!

[otakar]

Fabulous! Running out of superlatives here

Draws the viewer in again and again, really a marvelous render.

All available thumbs up.

Thanks you, guys! Not working from one basic set of drawn maps/masks, but having all procedurally from simple shapes makes it quite a complex set of masks, with lots of blue node multiply/add/subtract nodes. Here's a part at 100%. Still some mishaps, as you can see, like bushes in a field.

Hey Ulco, have you ever tried the Stroke in the SS shade for doing borders like around the tower etc...

Those are natural random features 
I am working on a scene that is 11 seconds since months.
Probably very few people will see whats going on and only if they replay it 3-4 times probably.
After a certain point you have to let it go, you know

last one on page 5 works for me! too

@ Andy and Richard; yes, to discourage misuse. Always a bit paranoid, though I like to show stuff and encourage other TG users, I can't often post large finished (commercial) images, at least not without any form of 'disfiguration'.
@ Bobby; yes, I think I've tried almost every node and combination, but the stroke is too hard for a moat. I do have a setup with 2 SSS and some subtraction, but the corners are always a bit too sharp. So in this case I have simply painted a simple grey mask in PS, set it at 0/0/0, and located/rotated that on 2 locations through 2 transform shaders.
This render will be blown up to 80cm wide and framed as a farewell gift for an archeaologist, so, though I started it as a private thing,  I didn't make it for nothing.

Nice the way that worked out...but art is never for nothing though. Yeah I thought you may have...it's sharpness and undisplaceableness (izzat a word?)make it mostly not that useful. I like your more portable solution.
