And the now the movie in Apple QuickTime (104Kb) and Windows AVI (90Kb) format. I was going to zip these files up, but the saving was only a few K, so it wasn't really worth it. The movie is also available in RealVideo (58Kb) - left click as usual to play, but if you want to save for offline viewing you'll have to right click and 'save as'. Unfortunately I don't know if you need QuickTime 3/RealPlayer G2 or not to view these files - can someone let me know please? You will need the latest Intel Indeo 5 codec to view the AVI.

Unfortunately, it was only after I'd finished rendering it all that I noticed how jagged the horizon looked, and by that time I'd quit Terragen, so of course in any subsequent renderings the clouds wouldn't be the same :-<. Oh well, lesson for the future. NB: Matt (the author of Terragen) has posted something to the mailing list about getting the cloud formations to be the same after quitting, but I haven't really experimented yet (and also it was too late then anyway!).
