Well, your input is great, and well-appreciated! When we get the scene
to the point that it becomes easy to adjust the colors and that the two
suns are the light-emitting media light sources (and the traditional
light_source is removed), i think then I want to make this scene public
domain and invite everyone to create their own futuristic skyscrapers.
and flying apartment bubbles (flattened bubbles, hovering above or below
the clouds or docking in swarms to those intended skyscrapers).
