I forgot to add that if you use scattering, remove the no_shadow keyword from
the sphere, otherwise the scattering media will not shade correctly.  With the
current code that uses no_shadow, the smoke will not cast a shadow (which may
not be a problem, depending on how it is used).  Absorption and scattering
medias are capable of casting shadows, but there is a speed penalty when you
allow them to do so.
