Thank you.

There is really nothing about the textures in that image (all right, the
terrain isn't plain color, but nearly).  It's really interesting how used
people are to textures faking geometry that a detailed terrain
automatically implies sophisticated textures.

It would be fairly possible to render it in parts, but i would have to
find quite a lot of fast computers free to work for quite some time for
that - something not that likely to happen.

For a distributed rendering system it would be good to make sure it runs
on a lot of platforms and it should support 48 bit (png) output so you can
tweak the image afterwards without quality loss.
