The scene was set up with everything in place... background mountains which are
actually a HF
pattern, and sky which is stacked planes, but the problem was that as soon as I
inserted the
tree, the whole thing ground to a halt. I worked out it was some issue with
double_illuminate.
When I turned off double_illuminate on the sky planes, the whole thing sped up again.
So... I
decided to just render the sky and mountains, inc ground fog, then 'reload' that image
onto a
polygon suitably scaled and positioned.
