Said it before and I'll say it again, there's something about the clarity and
perfection of these ray traced images I will always like. Of course, most people
would agree it isn't realistic that way unless dirt and scratches are added. I
admit I can't resist wanting that realism myself. Just not written in stone that
things must be one way or the other, unless you yourself or someone else needs
it to be.

That aside, I was thinking the air looks too thick. Then I realized why I
thought so, reminds me of a heavy rain. And if you're not wanting to go through
the trouble of including droplets on the armor and raindrops falling in the
nearby air I guess it could be thought of as a smoky battlefield. But that's
just my view.
