Since the animation was so garbled I figure a nice still image should be
uploaded.

Great work!

The water could be a bit darker (or is it ice?) The mountains are isosurface? is
it pure RMF or with some additional function?

How about some peak very near in the foreground ?

Looks a bit like the Pyrenees but these mountains are a bit smaller.
The grassy area looks too smooth, even at this distance you'd see much 
more turbulence and unevenness there.  
   
If the camera was much higher up then the grass may look OK. 

Nice work, thanks for sharing.

A lot to choose from that's for sure.
You guessed right, it's ice covered lakes at the beginning of the current
animation I'm doing, then the snow and ice melts off during it in a
unrealistic sort of way.  I've never seen time-lapse done during a flyover.
Plain RMF, nothing else manipulating the isosurface unless you count the
slope-dependant texturing. Lakes are a single plane throughout.  I made the
mistake of scaling the texture on that so the water/ice surfaces all moved
in a strange way toward <0,0,0>.
Glad you liked.

Yep, if you have seen the description of the animation I explain that the
textures had caused a jittering effect, much like 'crand' had been added to
the finish, but no AA or crand was used.  To remedy I have switched to a
very flat texture for dirt, rock, grass and trees.  I thought about adding
actual tree objects someday but the grass would most likely remain texture
alone.

Thanks back.  I was thinking these looked like some kind of mountains I had
seen in pictures/television before.

Wonderful. How many objects are we seeing--I'd be even more impressed if it
were only one!

Also, doesn't this just blow away the concept of heightfields--wouldn't it
be impossible to make a non-hideous flythrough if these were mere
heightfields and one lacked a Cray?

How about employing the RMF function for the ice too, so that the ice is melting
in the middle first and later on the coast.

Looks like a recently terraformed low-gravity planet...I don't think 
mountains like that would survive long in an atmosphere.

Great job...have you tried making bare rock on near-vertical surfaces? 
It looks like a lot of the snow is clinging to very steep slopes.
