1. When you are out in nature you look at a tree and think, wow that's one realistic tree!

2. You are driving in a bit of fog and look at the sky and think - "that patch of cloud is too grainy, I need to render it again with higher quality".

3. You look at some really strange clouds on the sky and  think " If i had made these in TG2 everybody would say " They are not realistic " " and smile :)

10. There are Tornado sirens going off and the radio is reporting the storm front is generating hundreds
of lightning strikes per minute, but you don't shut down because you're in the middle of a render.

(happened yesterday - yup, finished the render )

Another reason to implement saving a partial render with option to continue from save point.

You'll watch your computer render an image for a day on your slow computer, and not mind one the time at all.

18. You have dreams about Terragen crashing during a overnight render, or not crashing. ;)
(its happened to me in the past before TG2 x64)

19. In my case: I look out the window at the landscape in front of me at my work and try and guess how many instances of real world objects there are & how micro-triangles the real world objects would have have (trees, terrain, grass, ground cover, cars, etc, etc...)
then i think think about the AA settings used with what i see with my own eyes... :D

Ten minutes ago I saw an apple with a nice yellow and red texture lying in the kitchen, juicy and sweet, with an aromatic smell,
...and I thought of stretched power fractals. ???

You see a beautiful sunrise, red painted light spreading meshed lighting throughout sets of thin strings of jagged long black clouds on the horizon and hear someone from the TG2 image forums saying, "It looks too much 2D."

When you see a real landscape and always try to memorize the color tones and displacements to go photorealistic in TG.
