Great work!

I particularly liked the '10 years of raytracing' pages - nice to see your
early images...  For example i was quite astonished about:

http://www.oyonale.com/histoire/images/fjord.jpg

which seems to follow a concept quite similar to what i used for my
iceflows some years later...

I also saw that you occasionally took some idea from an older image some
years later for a new interpretation.  These reoccurring ideas make the
collection even more interesting.

I still have to try your new include files in detail.  The clouds really
look like a clever idea, i just think it would be nice if generating them
would be less complicated.  Ryoichi Suzuki's density_file extension patch
might be useful since it supports text files which could be written from
within SDL.  Of course the file sizes would be larger. Another idea i got:
One main reason for the fast render is that the clouds are individual
objects so not the whole air is media that has to be sampled.   This could
also be achieved by creating an appropriate container object (a mesh or a
blob for example).  

I think it would be good to put the sample files and macros together in a
package so they can be obtained at once.
