And to be fair. When I started working offshore. There were already 
plans to begin injecting the gas separated from the oil back into the 
top of the formation to squeeze more hydrocarbons out of the middle. 
(Water was injected into the lower parts for the same reason.)

Indeed yes. I forgot about that.

It was some time ago and not for a very long period.

Cool! May I Commodore64ize and AtariSTize your video and re-publish it 
here and/or on YouTube, of course crediting you?

See you in Khyberspace!

Hmmm.
I think I _might_ know to what you're referring...
Are you sure it wasn't isocity by TEK?

Hmm, with further experimentation, it wasn't so difficult after all-- after I
worked around some of the pitfalls of using multiple medias (which warrant some
comments that I'll eventually post separately.)

A 'better' PURE-green cloud is the code below.

Note the 'extinction' value of 0. Although scattering media's extinction is good
for producing self-shadowing, it presently can't take a color vector, just a
float value. As-is, it creates a *complementary* color in the media (nearly
PURPLE in this case.) That's realistic, of course-- a colored cloud *should*
filter out lighting of that color-- but for artistic reasons like a 'pure'-color
cloud, it would be nice to be able to play around with extinction. The
additional absorption media below-- having NO color-- produces what looks like
identical self-shadowing, but without that complementary coloring.

-----
(needs at least one light source)

sphere{0,1
    hollow
        texture{
            pigment{rgbt 1}
            finish{ambient 0 emission 0 diffuse 0}
            }
        interior{
            media{
                 method 3
                 intervals 1
                 samples 70

                 scattering{1, rgb 50*<0,1,0> extinction 0} // NO extinction,
// as it introduces an unwanted 'complementary' color into the media's
// self-shadows.

                 absorption 50 // NO color

                 emission 8*<0,1,0> // just to lighten-up the self-shadows
// a bit

                 density{
                    spherical
                    color_map{
                        [.12 rgb 0]
                        [.37 rgb 1]
                             }
                        scale 3
                        warp{turbulence .7 omega .5}
                        scale 1/3
                       }
       translate 1.2*y
       }

--------
Play around with the medias' multiplier values, to get a density that looks
nice.

Here it is: Atari ST monochrome mode (640 by 400 pixels, effectively 533 
by 400 pixels, as the sides ratio is 4:3), no dithering, threshold value 
125! Made with ffmpeg, GIMP (for probing the threshold value) and YIP 
(Yadgar's Image Processor)!

In the more distant future, I plan to run this video (and many others 
made in the same way) on my real Atari 1040 STFM from diskette(s) or 
hard disk... watch out!

See you in Khyberspace!

Oh no! This is a totally different approach. I had forgotten about Tek's 
city though. He never released it, did he?

No, City7 /is/ Mike Williams' work.

Hi(gh)!

And also the Floyd-Steinberg dithered version...

YouTube only (as it is larger than 8 MB): 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH0C-3rh5Jk

Commodore 64 and Atari ST color mode versions may come later this year - 
I haven't yet implemented the corresponding features in YIP!

See you in Khyberspace!
