Thanks for the replies!
I'm trying out the different programs now, and they look great.
I still think the maps I have is too small, though. But I'll look around a
bit.

It's the wonderful mountains around Molde which encouraged me to do a real
landscape render.
I did nothing but staring at them the first weeks after I moved up here :)

Happy tracing!
