This is an interesting view of a project I was working on which popped 
up when I pulled back to a wide angle view of the scene. Terrain 
generated by World Machine (finally a terrain editor I can work with!), 
atmosphere is media (no fog) and clouds and sun are pigments. Everything 
else is a mess.

Wow! Yet another render that cures our Terragen envy! :)

Can we know the media you used to make this blue haze (source ?) Thanks.

Looks very very nice!

Yes, World-machine is a great program, but my tests always end up looking
better in World-machine than in POV.. Do you have the same feeling about
yours?

Regards,
Hugo

Nice, how did you do the texture?

Looks very nice. I've never heard of World Machine. Is it free or
commercial?
Got an URL?

I don't have the source at my fingertips right now, but it was basically
a combination of scattering media (type 1) and a complementing
absorption media (using a _nearly_ identical color to the scattering
media). If you will pardon some generic code, it was roughly as follows
 
sphere{
 y-earth_radius+camera_position, earth_radius+scat_atmosphere_height
hollow 
 pigment{clear}}
 interior{media{scattering{1 scat_color*scat_intensity, extinction 0}}} 
}
sphere{
 y-earth_radius+camera_position, earth_radius+absorp_atmosphere_height
hollow 
 pigment{clear}}
 interior{media{absorption absorp_color*absorp_intensity}}} 
}

Mind you, this is likely not the best nor final solution.

Yup. My height fields tend to look great in anything except POV. It
drives me nuts.

Which one? :)

Clouds: a POV implementation of Hugo Elias' cloud texture
(http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_clouds.htm) which I'm
sure you are familiar with, and "light sourced" using a simple bump
mapping technique (shifting the shadows away from the light source). I
did a basic outline of the process
here:http://www2.taconic.net/bullfrog/sky/lightsourced_clouds/simple_bumpshaded_clouds.html.
I also tried to incorporate cloud glow near the sun based the dot
product between the sun direction and the texture point on the cloud
plane. 

Sun: spherical pigment applied to the sky_sphere - appropriately scaled.

Water: pigment with some degree of transparency (and filtering, I
think), absorption media and simple bozo normal.

Terrain: a shoddy slope pigment and turbulated granite normal.

Sorry, but I don't have the code in front of me right now. Hope this
helps.
