I'm playing with a bunch of suggestions for the balloon.  Currently the 
texture is:

     #local _p1  = pigment { color rgbf <0.6, 0.6, 0.005, 0.7> }
     #local _p2  = pigment { color rgbf <0.6, 0.6, 0.005, 0.6> }

         material {
             texture {
                 pigment {
                     bozo
                     pigment_map {
                         [0.0 _p1]
                         [0.5 _p1]
                         [0.8 _p2]
                         [1.0 _p2]
                     }
                     warp { turbulence 0.9 }
                     scale 2
                 }
                 //normal { bumps 0.01 scale 0.01 }
                 finish {
                     fresnel 0.4
                     specular albedo 1.0
                     roughness 0.005
                     diffuse albedo 1.0
                     reflection { 0.4 }
                 }
             }
             interior { ior 1.5 }
         }

I'm working out how to get a more realistic reflection and will look at 
the suggestions provided here.  I haven't tried rendering this with 
radiosity yet.
