Thanks. The "impressionism" touch is nice, but to be frank is only the
result of not being realistic enough... :(

I still have some things to try with the clouds, but I will let it
render this evening, as I've to leave for some hours... will post tonight.

Thanks for checking Jaime. The image is also helpful for understanding
your cloud technique.
Let me add my apologies for the many times I've no doubt mistyped your
name. I typed again this morning - Jamie - but saw it this time.
Many days, my eyes & brain fail to see in the moment the scrambled
things my fingers type!

Yeah... POV-Ray media isn't easy to setup. In fact it can drive you
crazy most of the time. It's happening to me now as I'm trying to add
another media for the haze (I was using a ground fog until now). But it
looks gorgeous when you find the right setup for your scene...

What you don't see on the image is the other 3 concentric blobs inside
the solid one: they use the same components placement but with
increasingly smaller radius.

Don't worry... I'm already used to being called Jamie. In fact I
rarely notice it: as long as all the characters are there, it looks right.

Well, lots of artifacts and no AA, but looks promising...

Awesome. I look forward to this time next year when the full size version
finishes rendering!

Good idea: if I cannot get ride of the artifacts, I could pass it for
a UFO trying to hide on the clouds using some invisibility trick... :)

Thanks, but it's not that slow... that test took just 29 min, and the
one attached here, using +a, took 1h45m using only 4 out of 6 cores. I
guess the full render at 1600x900 will take about 4 hours with 6 cores.
The idea of using a blob as container, instead a box or sphere, works
pretty well... it's just a shame it generates some artifacts. :(
