Please send me these test vids then so i can try add sounds to the video. :)

(This folder will have stuff added to it from time to time.)
Here's two, the first one - flying over mountains - I admit didn't come out that great because I used the wrong settings for the water and the colors of the mountains. I also should have enabled the full anti-aliasing settings, something I didn't do in that clip, resulting in the whole thing being less pretty than it should have been.

Looks really great to me. Is there a tutorial about such things?

I actually need to start looking at tutorials on Planetside Software's website myself, so far I've been trying to teach myself how parts of the software work, something that I admit isn't likely the best way.
For starters, if you want to do something like this you'll need the Terragen 2 software, specifically the "deep" edition with full animation, which isn't free (but still costs a lot less than something like Maya or 3DS Max).
In these two clips the only thing animated is really the camera, it moves from one location to another between frames.
If I later find that there aren't any existing tutorials for this on PlanetSide's website, I certainly wouldn't mind offering a contribution (many users in their forum offer such things).
