You're sure to get something interesting rendered.

This had me looking at slope pattern in the documentation and something I wasn't
aware of is the "new to 3.7" point_at for it. Or if I did know I had forgotten
it.

Since point_at isn't used in the snow slope pattern I'm guessing a change to
that might need adjustment, since the doc says altitude can't be used in
conjunction with point_at.
Although, looking again at the scene file altitude is not used anyway!

Food for thought anyhow, because it seems like it would be what SunPosition is
made for.
