Amazing image - then and again now.
I found myself this morning pondering - not for the first time since
your post - why the emitting media was so slow you couldn't use it in
scene.
Radiosity?
Are the heightfield and scene shapes getting tangled causing messier
media intervals in the full scene?
Do you have thoughts as to why? Guess, I expected such a technique to
more or less be a direct adder compute wise in scene.
