Next one will be 1024*768, promess...

I am trying to find general pinciples for good skies, especially sunsets, by
imitating phyical phenomena instead of faking them (eg use of a earth-sized
spherical container with Rayleigh scattering of blue color with 'real'
density of the air particles, instead of a sky_sphere with a color_map). As
the renders are quite long, I can only do 1 or 2 tries a day ...

When I feel I am on something interesting, I'll combine with terrains and
try to automate the creation process. It is still embryonic, and a lot of
work is ahead.
